Red Iguana - Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City - 736 W North Temple St, USA

Fist time to this place and I loved it. The service was great. I recommend to get a taste sampler of the different moles. The mole was good flavor and had shredded chicken. I have not tried other dishes but I definitely give a 5 /5 for the mole experience. Lunch time was buzzing not overflowing. They have plenty of seating.

Our visit was 6 August 2023 during a business trip with a total of 6 of us. My dish was the Gringas and Iced Tea. The restaurant was a referral by one of the people in our group. The food was great, we all enjoyed our plates. Place is small but long in length. We did have to wait 20 minutes to get in. Staff were pleasant and professional. The location was clean. We enjoyed our first dinner on our business trip. Would visit again. This location was crowded so not many pictures because I don’t like to included others out of respect.

An awesome Mexican restaurant with amazing flavors. I’d highly encourage to make a reservation. We got 1. Encurtidos (5/5) one of the best dishes I have had so far. The jalapeños had perfect spiciness and the flavor was amazing. The cheese was icing on the cake. Would highly recommend this dish. 2. Mole dish (with mango and pork). A great flavor and spiciness to it. I would highly recommend this place.

Very good! I see why all the hype. The tortilla chips aren’t greasy and the salsa has a nice kick to it. I ordered the 7 mole sampler so I could taste each one, wow…amazing to taste each and the differences. I forgot all the names, but my favorite was the darkest one with chocolate undertones. I ordered shrimp fajitas and a skinny margarita on the rocks. The drink was strong & good and the food was even more delicious! Highly recommend reservations. I had one thankfully otherwise it was an hour wait.

Loved this restaurant. The food was awesome and our waiter was fantastic. The outside doesn't look like much, but when you get inside the restaurant, it is colorful and really cute. Everyone is so friendly. The restaurant was packed as the night went on. My hubby ordered a shrimp dish. OMG, it was really good. I ordered Red Aguana Plate. That beef Taco was so good. We had such a nice evening. What a wonderful experience. We ordered some drinks that were great too. My hubby had the fried ice cream. He loved it! I would 100% recommend this restaurant.

This place has a very well deserved positive reputation! Stopped in while in town for dinner and had an amazing time. Service was wonderful, their margaritas are amazing, and of course the food was incredible and plentiful. Really excellent, will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

Came to Salt Lake City, Utah to check out a car for my wife and I and we bought it. So to celebrate we went to the Red Iguana by recommendtion the food was fabulous and the drinks. Great service , for a little hole in the wall the place was packed. And people kept on coming in . We loved the place but I've got to say we probably will not be because it was a Five hour drive from Boise, ID....and this place is in the middle of the ghettos wow there so many homeless in the area..........probably will not be coming back to Utah.........if this helps please give a 👍like....................

I’m not sure why people think this restaurant is so great?? The service was lovely, but the food was mediocre and bland — a sorry excuse for authentic Mexican. I got fish tacos and had to drown them in salsa. Their tortilla aren’t that great either. We couldn’t even finish the guacamole because it was so dull… my husband got pork tacos and said they were forgettable. Definitely not interested in going back.. which is a shame because I had high expectations based on many recommendations (and the fact there was a line out the door).
