What People Are Saying

"Looked up best restaurants in SLC and this was number one on a lot of websites. We went on a Saturday evening and there was a wait for a seat. It was short though, about 10 minutes. The host is outside the restaurant so you’ll check in with them and then wait outside to be called in. The food was amazing. The queso dip was some of the best. I had the king prawns and they were extremely filling! I couldn’t finish it all in a sitting. Their famous mole was also delicious. Our waiter was super fast and friendly. For such a busy restaurant the food came out in record time. Our appetizer came out in 10 minutes and the food about 3 minutes after that. The food was amazing. No wonder this place is crowded 24/7. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for Mexican food in SLC."

"I recently discovered this wonderful Mexican restaurant in Utah, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by incredibly nice and polite staff who made me feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious - authentic flavors that transport you straight to Mexico. But what really impressed me was the pricing - it’s incredibly reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you receive. In today’s economy, finding great food at awesome prices feels like striking gold! The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff’s genuine warmth added so much to the dining experience. Whether you’re craving tacos, enchiladas, or any classic Mexican dish, this place delivers. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Mexican food with friendly service and wallet-friendly prices!"

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Red Iguana, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was cooked to perfection — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. I was able to finish my entire plate, which is always a good sign of quality and portion size. What truly set this visit apart, however, was the service. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Our waiter was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, ensuring we knew exactly what we were ordering. At no point was there a moment when our drinks or chips weren’t replenished — everything was consistently on point. Every time we needed anything, the staff responded promptly and courteously, making us feel valued and well taken care of throughout the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was welcoming and comfortable, perfectly complementing the outstanding food and service. Every detail, from the presentation of the dishes to the attentiveness of the team, contributed to a seamless and enjoyable dining experience. Overall, Red Iguana exceeded all expectations. For anyone looking for amazing Mexican cuisine paired with top-notch service, this is an absolute must-visit. Five stars without hesitation — a truly exceptional restaurant that I highly recommend."

"Overall good customer service and food. The server was but a bit short when I asked about the menu items. She just pointed at the menu and left. The food was serve promptly. We ordered the Red Iguana platter which was good except the enchiladas tasted a little bitter and the steak dish was also good but a bit salty. Loved the strawberry margaritas and the flan with strawberries was excellent!"

"Visited the Red Iguana on vacation this summer and had forgotten to leave a review! If you've never been here, u need to go! The food is excellent and the staff was super friendly! It was my 3rd time here and is a must-visit everytime I'm in SLC! I dont think there's a bad choice when it comes to the food. My party of 15 were all happy with their choices! I live in Idaho and I cant wait to visit again!"
