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.

In the six years I’ve lived in Utah I have heard that Red Iguana has the best Latin/Mexican food in the state. I cannot believe I didn’t try this place sooner. EVERY PART of our experience was absolutely top tier. The homemade salsa and chips were divine, to the point that when we were about to leave. I poured the last bit of salsa into my mouth. It was that good! I didn’t want to waste a single drop. Our server whose name escapes me, but he immigrated from Venezuela deserves a raise. This man was so pleasant, funny, got everything we needed, answered every question we had. We almost forgot our leftover boxes on the table and he ran to find us before we left it there. He was marvelous! I wish I remembered his name so I could shout it out for the owners to recognize how great he is. All of the staff was so wonderful and friendly!

I have been meaning to try the Red Iguana for several years now and I finally made my first visit today. It definitely lived up to all to all of the positive reviews I’ve seen. The first thing that stood out was the great service. We were immediately met with friendly smiles, taken to a table, and we had our water and chips and salsa quickly. After ordering, our food came out quickly and tasted great. I had the Tacos Don Ramón and they were amazing. I will definitely be retuning.

This place was on just about every “must do in SLC” blog I read, so I felt I had to try it, and a lot of times those places don’t live up to the hype. This exceeded it! Not one thing we had was not amazing. We ordered the stuffed shrimp jalapeño appetizer, the red iguana sampler & the las gringas, all delicious. Had to take most to go though, portions are massive & we filled up on the incredible chips & salsa. Definitely recommend making a reservation it gets super busy. Only “negative” is the margaritas although super tasty, were weak (apparently that is a Utah thing tho)

The red iguana is indubitably the most incredible restaurant i have ever had the pleasure of entering. The service is charismatic and loveable. Our server, the man in the green shirt, was AMAZING. He was rapidly refilling our water and attending to our needs. The food exponentially adds to the experience. The best item on the menu is by far the kids quesadilla. The tortilla is cooked to perfection, the cheese beautifully melted and stringy, but most of all the motts apple sauce really completes the meal. The flavor is immaculate; hands down the best apple sauce i have ever partaken of. Much love being sent to The Red Iguana.
