Red Iguana 2 Mexican Restaurant ·$$

With a passion to bring authentic flavors of Mexico right in the heart of Salt Lake City, Maria and Roman first opened Red Iguana in the year 1965. Red Iguana 2 was launched in the year 1985, and ever since, it has continued to delight guests with an extensive menu of Mexican preparations, including the famous mole and red iguana. While the national delicacy of Mexico is presented in seven varieties, diners also get to devour the equally toothsome enchiladas suizas and the cochinita pibil. Some creative offerings like corn tortillas stuffed with pumpkin seeds and diced eggs, perfectly garnished with cheese and mole verde, are also popular among its varied list of clientele. The main dining area is vibrantly decorated, complete with some lively stickers and brightly colored accents adorning its doorway and other areas. End a lavish meal with their delicious margaritas or other chilled libations.
