Red Iguana

Mexican restaurant · Fair Park

"There’s almost always a wait at this Mexican eatery, but it’s worth it. Located just off the northwest corner of downtown and within easy striking distance of a number of hotels, the flagship location serves around 700 hungry guests a day. When Ramon and Maria Cardenas opened the restaurant in 1985, it seated only 18 guests, but that location eventually burned down. After reopeningin its current location to great fanfare,they've since opened a second location, the Red Iguana 2, just a few blocks away. Most recently, they launched“Taste of Red Iguana” in the new City Creek Mall, serving their classic meals food-court style."
