La Vics or Iguanas? Which is better?

If you choose la vic and its weak *** orange sauce then you should sleep next to Zoeb every night and touch his banana.


Iguana's "Super Iguana" is the best burrito in the south bay, def.



Super Burrito VS Super Burrito from both places.

Depends on what you're getting. I like the nachos and tacos better at la vics (cause of the type of cheese they use, Its been a while though so it might have changed) but I like the burritos over at Iguanas. Definitely la vics orange sauce > iguana's orange sauce

The comparison is based off Super Burrito VS Super Burrito, preferably the steak



Iguanas uses prime angus steak which makes their beef sooooo much better. Plus they add way more stuff.



Super Taqueria is even better than La Vics! Why do people like that place?!

Must suck to not being able to handle nostalgia...



I am going to go with La Vic on this. Sauce aside, the food is pretty good. I always get a steak quesadilla with extra steak, cheese, and sour cream. And it is delicious. Their Super Nachos are also really good. And there is the added bonus of being able to go to La Vic with out going into Downtown.

The Orange sauce is pretty good, and it is good on EVERYTHING. Seriously, I have had a hotdog with orange sauce and it was delicious. However, since me and a friend killed an ENTIRE bottle of orange sauce in one sitting, I am kinda over the stuff now.

Random thing I have noticed that kind irks me though is the random "s" that people add to La Vic. The place is called La Victoria. How do you get "La Vics"?

I love nostalgia, just not when it was annoying when it first came out and is even more annoying now.

I wasnt trying to be a dick to you personally, I would have said the same to anyone. No need to get all defensive.

I've never eaten at either place and I live 10 minutes away. Do either of these places serve meals that wont give me the feeling that I swallowed a small wolverine later on?

Iguanas and you judge a good Mexican restaurant by the other meats. Carne asada is easy.

Between the two I'd go with Iguana's.

That said I haven't eaten at either in over a year. Best place I've found is walking distance from my house.

Iguana's in Fremont is closest, I like Iguana's burritos better, but La Vics orange sauce is still best...imo...combine for ultimate win.
