Best Mexican food I've ever had. The enchiladas verdes are to die for, and you can never go wrong with any of the mole dishes. Make sure to get there early as there is usually a wait to get a table.
Don't let the "whole in the wall" facade fool you. The wait staff is very knowledgeable , the mole has very complex flavors, and the drinks are strong. Best Mexican I've had outside the country .
The Mole Negro and Mole Coloradito are to die for! You can split your plate and have two moles here. Get the mole sampler to see what you want before committing. Cocktails rock, too.
The mole is incredible. Get a free tasting plate to try them all before you order. Great vegetarian options .
A friend wrote "I had the Puntas de Filete a la Norteña. It was mind-blowingly delicious. And the service was top-notch--comparable with the service that I had at Per Se in New York."
Never had a strawberry molé before but apparently it’s on the specials list most Wednesdays. You need to visit on a Wednesday!
ENMOLADAs!!!! The mole sauce is literally dancing around your mouth and the flavors are I-want-them-in-my-life-always. Great atmosphere, staff , & venue. ❤️????
Try the molé sampler plate first. I had the Wednesday special which was Pistachio Molé , after trying all the options, and it was AMAZING! The Tamarind Margarita is something special, too!
Best Mexican food in slc. Maybe even the best restaurant in slc. Come with friends because there is usually a long wait . Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
I lived and worked in Mexico for a little over a year and this is the best Mexican food I’ve had north of the border. Cochinita Pibil is great, and don’t skip the horchata .
Esquire: In state not exactly famous for its flavor bombs, delivers Mex classics—mole negro, mole poblano , enmoladas , carnitas , fish tacos , enchiladas suizas—w/respect for tradition &attention 2detail
Get the mole sampler before you order They are all delicious. You can even get the mole sauce you like best to go.
Amazing mole - you have to try it. Guacamole is the best I have ever had. Great micheladas , & if you like spice, ask for a side of Serrano peppers .
The service is top notch and the food was delich! Try the moles and Micheladas . Come early as there is typically a wait - even on a late Wednesday night, but it's worth it!
Best Mexican food ever.... Ever. Got the mole negro and Amarillo both were outstanding with a depth of flavor that is unparalleled.
Definitely get the encurtidos (pickled jalapeños stuffed w/ shrimp & queso & fried) & the puntas de filete (sirloin tips w/almond mole ). Skip the fish tacos . Delicious food nonetheless & good service .
I had a steak and mole dish, and it was literally one of the best Mexican dishes I’ve ever had.
Experiment with all the moles . All these dishes are delicious. Enchiladas with mole sauce are my fav
If it is your first time, ask for the Mole Sampler. Best way to get an idea of what you might like!
The sample mole platter is a must, as well as the marguarita. We had the signature dish with sirloin and the mole with chicken ... Everything is absolutely delicious and the service is one of a kind :)
Best mexican food !!!! Great portions and friendly service . Everything tastes very authentic ! Red iguana combo for a taste of everything ????
Awesome food and really good waiters ! The best food we had at Salt Lake City!
Authentically delicious. Try all the moles as a sample plate before making your selection. Every single one is worth it.
Best Mexican I’ve ever had. Salsa was amazing and enchiladas were worth visiting Utah for.
Holy mole ! This place is as amazing as it sounds. I recommend the Mole Amarillo of you like spicy .
Everything is so good! If you're bad at decision making don't order the mole sampler because it's impossible to choose just one!! Sour cream chicken anything is yum.
An all time favorite spot! Recommend the Chile Verde and endless chips and salsa !
Amazing enchiladas !! I went through a few glasses of water for the spice, but if I didn’t get so full I would have had more!!
Different sets of tacos on different days. Try the pibil!
Definitely worth the hype. The food came out really fast and was delicious!
Carnitas were excellent. Amazing variety of mole sauces--so if that's your thing, this is definitely your place.
Amazing, authentic food! Get there early cause there is always a line ! Also funny enough they only valet but it's free!
Great food, awesome drinks. The salsa was some of the best I've ever had!
Get the jalapeno margarita - its all freshed squeezed and its full of flavor without kicking you in the throat
It's worth the wait! We live in Virginia and eat here every chance we can. Great service, ask for the hotter salsa . Yum!
Best Mexican food I ever had! The tacos are amazing.
Great food, great atmosphere. Try the mole and chicken enchiladas . Ask for Victor to be your waiter . And then ask him to dance .
The Red Iguana plate is a huge and tasty sample (5 items!!) of many of the best dishes.
This place looks like a dump on the outside... so you know it's gonna be great mexican food ! The chimichanga was top notch. If I wasn't stuffed after it I would have ordered more. Go here now.
Mole verde!!!! Definitely get the mole sampler plate to try ALL the sauces! Super trasty!
Mole ! Get the mole . Do it to it. Also there is a bear outside.
Some of, if not the best, mexican food I've ever had. I tried the special that might which was strawberry enchilada , simply amazing.
Simply the best Mexican food I've ever had, with primo bike parking right out front.
Okay, the burritos come in pairs on the menu, but allegedly you can order just one?! (Which I’d recommend. It’s a lot of food.)
Mole platter for sure. Get there early, can be a long wait in the evening!
Coloradito mole is divine!! The sample mole platter will definitely help you decide what to order.
Everything was great - loves the guacamole and the SF quesadilla was amazing!
The moles are amazing. Best with enchiladas .
This is the best Mexican food in the state . Don't forget to try the mole sauce or the flautas !
I just read all 61 tips and only one mentioned the salsa . It's spicy and rich and delicious.
The chile verde pork burrito is amazing. - Chris Human Development League
Super great restaurant - delicious food with reasonable servings and amazing margaritas. I only with I could've gotten doubles. Ah, Utah liquor laws... - Amber Miller
Try the Iguanarita and come with big appetite since the food portion is big. Shredded beef w/bacon, rice and beans is SO good! - ✨#IamRomdelacrème✨
Awesome place for concerts! Make sure to get lower level though or the view is terrible - Natalie Jeffrey
