Excellent! Best Mexican food ever. We came from Michigan, headed to Seattle and we made a side trip to revisit the Red Iguana. Well worth the effort. We lucked out and only waited 20 mins. We were prepared for an hour wait.

One of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever eaten at. If you ever are in salt lake city this should be your first choice. Also the wait (an hour or sometimes more) is well worth it. Just be ready for the wait when you go.

Came here after hearing all the great talk about it, there's absolutely nothing authentic about this place. *Disclaimer* I didn't have the mole, which is supposedly what they're known for, but 2 obvious red flags were that there was no Pastor or fresh juices on the menu. Any good Mexican place would undoubtably have both. We ordered the nachos regulares and the cochinita pibil. The nachos were extremely mediocore, I'm pretty positive I've had better nachos in a movie theatre and the cochinita was fine but literally just fine... read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food! Well worth the wait outside - even in the winter.
