Red Iguana

The 29 Best Restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah | Eater

"Started by Ramon and Maria Cardenas in 1985, Red Iguana features a wide variety of Mexican recipes, including many utilizing house-made corn tortillas and moles, at three downtown locations. Try the standout puntas de filete a la nortena (top sirloin tips sauteed with bacon, jalapeño strips, onions, and fresh tomatoes, served atop almond mole) or the enchiladas suizas (two corn tortillas filled with avocado and chicken cooked in sour cream, topped with a complex mole poblano, and finished with melted jack cheese and an extra dollop of sour cream). Know before you go: The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so arrive early to ensure you snag a table or be prepared to wait." - Sarah Entwistle
