Authentic and Unbeatable

Every big city has a hidden gem where the locals love to eat that aren't fancy or trendy, but which have outstanding food that people come back for time and again. In Salt Lake City one gem would be "the home of killer Mexican food", the Red Iguana a Utah tradition since 1985. You just have to see the crowd waiting outside for a seat to know this perennial favorite doesn’t disappoint its legion of fans.

Nachos, chili verde burritos and moles too numerous to mention are all stand-out menu items, as are the margaritas. Say mole, salivate and open your mouth to the tastiest Mexican fare in town. Choose from seven different mole sauces or the yummy chile verde and chile Colorado entrees. Huge meals can be had for about $10. – Funky - 2008.07.27

After a long day at work and then adding another 4 hours working the UofU basketball game, the TV crew celebrated Cinco De Mayo in style at the Red Iguana. Reminiscing the game's highlights and past crew's battle stories over great food, great drinks and great Mole is the best way to celebrate with friends and colleagues. – Funky - 2009.05.05
