Iconos Gastro Cantina

“I love to come here, sit at the bar, and order the queso. The queso fundido is the best queso on lyndale, I’ve lived here for 8 years. The cocktails are all unique and flavorful, with beautiful presentations. I also like the agua chile, it’s a little spicy so ask for mild if you are sensitive. Friendly staff and good music, which is sometimes live.”

“I had a great first dining experience here yesterday, and will be going back for sure! Great service, food and such a chill atmosphere. The chips/guac/salsa was so great as well as the birria tacos we had! Also the Hibiscus mocktail was one of the best mocktails I have ever had!”

“Great food, prompt service, cool restaurant, good music (but too loud, I don’t like to shout while I eat!). We got the guacamole (fantastic chips) which was nummy, Queso Fundido, also delish, so-so (expensive) coffee, to start, then the Iconos breakfast (scrambled eggs, with bacon, fried potatoes, French toast, all OK) and the Chilaquiles Nobles with skirt steak, which was very good. 4.7 overall, knocking off a bit for the LOUD music….it’s too much for brunch, wait ‘til the sun goes down…..”

“I have been to this place many times over the years and have always loved it but today was different......The Agua Chilie that came to my table came COMPLETELY raw. Viens/blue gray colored shrimp and all. I told the server and manager and they tried to gaslight me/convince me that it came raw. I'm blown away by how down hill this place has gone. The Sunday DJ was Redlining the speakers / loud crackling. It was confusing they had a dj at all considering he didnt mix and was just playing track after track. After years of supporting this business I wont be back.”

“This was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. Right after we ordered our drinks at the bar, the manager rudely told us to give up our seats and move. The way this was handled was abrupt, disrespectful , and completely lacking basic customer service. If the establishment has specific policies about bar seating, they should be prior communicated , not enforced in a dismissive manner after customers have already ordered. Expecting people to stand immediately after ordering, without prior notice, is unreasonable. When we questioned the situation, the manager escalated things unnecessarily and told us to leave in a disrespectful tone. His attitude was unprofessional and hostile, making it clear that customer experience was not a priority. We were not the only ones affected. A nearby couple was so uncomfortable with the situation that they chose to leave as well, even abandoning their drinks. Overall, this was one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve had. The issue isn’t just the policy, it’s the way it was enforced, with a complete lack of respect toward paying customers. The manager seriously needs to reconsider how they treat people.”
