Everything we tried was great from the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa on the table to the dessert. I heard about Red Iguana being good but I had no idea how good. I went with a friend and spent around $65 for an appetizer, 2 alcoholic beverages, 2 entrees, 1 side, and dessert. I left feeling satisfied and full. I could barely finish my food but I wasn't trying to leave any of that delicious food on the table. Overall 10 out of 10!

No wonder this place was featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives show. This place is the real deal if you want extremely tasty Mexican food. First thing, make a reservation advance! Especially for dinner, it’s almost impossible to get seated without a reservation that day. Staff were very friendly and checked on us often to refill waters and get us drinks and more chips and salsa. They bring out complementary chips and salsa that is honestly the best that I have ever had. The chips are super crispy and well salted, and the salsa is surprisingly spicy yet boasting a lot of roasted and fresh flavors. I went with their tacos don Ramon, and my friend went with their chicken and steak fajitas. You can’t go wrong with either option. The tacos, while looking like entirely filled with lettuce at first, actually have a ton of beautifully seasoned and tender steak and chorizo. The tortillas themselves are lightly fried to that they’re in between us often a crunchy taco shell. It’s s

I had heard about this place many times but hadn't had a chance to visit til I was able to visit my son in SL, UT! Food was so good! Our server Manny was the best! Great atmosphere, family oriented, and u could tell people loved eating there! I can't wait to visit again! Make sure u get a pic with the iguana himself! He's a big boy!
