Best Authentic Mexican restaurant in SLC next to its sister store "The Red Iguana". Overall good service . Absolutely perfect cuisine for the price and venue.

Kimberly Maul

A cute Mexican place close to the Convention Center , if you're looking for something other than burgers and beer . The night i was there, they had an adorable couple singing for the patrons!

Mara Coleman Carlson

You don’t need to add guacamole as an appetizer ! It came with both of our entrees, they didn’t even bring mire chips with it! Claim to have “Utah’s best Margarita ”, I don’t know about that, it’s good.

Mole de Almendras, Cheese & Jalapeño Tamales , jalapeño margarita , Cantarita

Try the Iguanarita and get a sweet swish between spicy bites with the blend of Triple Sec , Cuervo Especial and Roses Lime served in a glass with a cactus-like stem with salt around the rim. Read more

Iguanarita is 3/4 ice so order 3 or 4 for a tipsy experience. Food is served fast, hot and is the bomb!

✨#IamRomdelacrème✨

Try the Iguanarita and come with big appetite since the food portion is big. Shredded beef w/bacon, rice and beans is SO good!

Kenneth Shanafelt

Everything is great. Good spot for a date. Conveniently downtown local.

Jason Short

Its so delicious! But keep a toilet in site at all times on the ride home

Mark Shepard

Great food! Six different dishes and all had rave reviews. Beer is expensive and limited selection.

Maggie MacG

Spicy margarita is good. Food is passable. Salsa is not bad.

Matt Affolter

Good, but I prefer my Iguanas Red. This place has inferior atmosphere, authenticity , and taste.

Rob Weidmann

The mole is great.

Anthony Quigley

Eh not the best Mexican food around, but if you need a quick fix it works. Margaritas are good. Pass on the guacamole though.

Lionel Lewis

Order the plate that fits the name: The Blue Iguana Combination!

Topher Slade

Try the Chile Rellenos - Great! Good #vegetarian option !

Heidi Lynn

It felt like a Mexican Applebee's. If you want real Mexican portions, taste, and quality service head to Maria Bonita's in Orem. 10 million times better.

Joe Walker

Great Mexican food .

Candy Davila

This place and its sister restaurant are pure garbage. Nothing is Mexican other than their names. Would NEVER go here. Try some of the less popular places.

Essex

Best mole around.

Travis Wright

Loved the mole ! Wait was long on a Saturday night.

Patrick Leonetti

Loved the home made mole ! Chicken was so tender.

Michael Longwell

It's tough to find. It's located underneath Benihana and it's not on-street.

J

Great food and try the moles

Danese Blackwell

Before ordering try the mold sampler

Eric Chappell
