On a Diners, Drive Ins and Dives trip, we had to try the Red Iguana. It did not disappoint! The special Chile Relleno - a huge green pepper stuffed with ground beef, raisins, pine nuts, and other goodies, fried to a perfect crisp, then topped with a heavenly walnut cream sauce... Yum! The tamales topped with a mole sauce were outstanding! Definitely going back with a bigger appetite! Friendly hosts and fun ambiance too!

If you ever can, this is the singularly best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. I've been to many and this is far and away the best. If I was wealthy, I'd fly to Salt Lake and have dinner and go home. It's that good. 

Business response:

Thank you so much John Winsted! Very much appreciate our out of town patrons. We'll keep the moles hot4ya!

The waitress suggested the special as it was special to them that day. It was great. If you go there listen to your waitress.
