More Info

La Iguana de Piedra is one of about 20 restaurants which congregate west of San Juan Cosalá along the Lake Chapala shore at Piedra Barrenada.

These restaurants, which primarily serve seafood trucked in fresh from the coast, fill up on the weekends with visitors who come from Guadalajara to enjoy some time outside of the city.

Take your pick — but La Iguana de Piedra is one of the most popular, with dozens of steak, shrimp, fish and more exotic seafood choices.

Music sometimes goes on, performed by a small group during a show or by musicians who will play for you or other tables for a small fee.
