This is one of my favorite spots to eat in Salt Lake City. The service is always fast - 5 The food was excellent - 5 And atmosphere - 5 This restaurant is the original and has limited seats when busy. Make sure to reserve a day before so you can get in quicker. Had my favorite usual - steak n shrimp fajitas and a good dessert Fried Ice Cream.

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! And then, the food- I AM STILL THINKING ABOUT MY MANGO MOLE ENCHILADA. The chicken was so perfectly cooked and tender. The mango mole had such a wonderful comp
