Provided by YP.comThey now have an additional location which alleviates the long lines a bit at the original spot, which is nice.
I can’t get enough of the Chile Verde burrito – very tasty.

Provided by YPmobileI no longer live in SLC but I get to visit every other year and the red iguana is on the list every time. The chile verde will change your life.

Provided by DexKnowsthe food was good but the service at the bar where i sat was very poor would not recomend it the servers name was antonio to the owner i would keep a eye on this guy he is not good for buisness as i own a buisness to good luck
If you really enjoy Mexican food then this is the restaurant for you. The food is excellent and the portions are large. My favorite is the Carnitas. The rice and beans are flavorful and mole is great. Service is friendly and fast. There is a parking lot for conveinence. Get there before 4:30 or after 7:00 or you will wait. It is very popular and for good reason. Dress is casual.

Provided by YP.comI've lived in Texas and spent many vacations in Mexico, and I have to say that the Red Iguana is the finest eating establishment I've ever been to. It has a great mix of authentic dishes (the moles) as well as what folks expect from American-style Mexican (burritos, enchiladas). Try the empanadas for dessert as well.
Be sure to show up a little early on weekends. The wait gets very long around 5:30 pm.
