In town on business and tried Red Iguana for lunch because of ratings. Had a very short wait even though it was height of lunch hour. Tried the mole sampler which turned out to be the best part of the meal. Backing up. Chips and salsa arrived promptly when I was seated but baked chips? I admire the gesture at...

I knew last night that I was going to Red Iguana for lunch. I began craving the Sunrise Burrito (2 chile verde burritos topped with 2 eggs). It was everything I needed it to be. Thanks to Jeff for changing my chile verde burritos to the Sunrise burrito. Oh, I forgot about the chips and salsa. Mmmmm.

We stopped here on Monday because of it being on triple D and great ratings on Yelp.
We both ordered a Mole dish that was suppose to be with Turkey.
When the dishes came they were made out of chicken so first strike. We had waited long enough so took the chicken.
The taste was just not good and the...

Heard about this place on tv so we had to try it for lunch. At 1:15 pm we waited about 15 minutes to get a seat. Very lengthy menu with all fresh Mexican specialties including moles.
I had Enchiladas Verde with green mole, tasty and fresh very good! Cyndy had the Tuna Fish Tacos and said they were good as...

I had the sour cream chicken enchiladas, which had the best enchilada sauce I've ever had. I also had the chile verde super nachos and they were nothing short of amazing. Service was great and fast despite the full restaurant. Absolutely great value!

Our family went there when my stepson visited SLC. The seafood appetizer platter was amazing with huge shrimps and scallops. I love the chili verde, and el carbon.

Everything I've had at Red Iguana has been outstanding. Although they are known for their moles, they can be a bit sweet for my taste and there are lots of other options on the menu, all of which are superb. There are always long lines but everyone is so cheerful they are about to eat at Red Iguana that they...

Plan on a wait outside if you are dining in, but a wait that is well worth it. The best Mexican food around.

Elengant mole dishes rival any restaurant I have ever been to in and out of Mexico. Not fancy just outstanding food and drinks. Mango Margarita really tasted healthy. Even some nice wines available that compliment the meal. Great reason to visit Salt Lake City.

I am not a lover of spicy and hot Mexican food but the dishes here have converted me into one who craves the awesome cuisine the Red Iguana serves. There is so much to choose from, so many options and such a wonderful staff, this place should be on the list of ANYONE who visits Salt Lake City because this...
