Red Iguana 2

The food was good, nothing too crazy to write home about. People talk about how it’s the best Mexican food they have had, and maybe I’m a harder judge after living in Texas but the food was good, not great. Waiter was good! I would go back and try again.

We had a great experience visiting Red Iguana 2 during our trip to Salt Lake City. The food was excellent. I ordered three tacos with shredded chicken and my husband got a steak of some sorts. The flavor of both was really good and we enjoyed it. Our waiter was fabulous. The atmosphere was so great. I loved the art and the lighting. Great palce for a family dinner, we had a family of 9 and they got us right in. Parking wasn't available right next to the restaurant bit we found it just down the street.

Mauricia was an amazing waitress! Very attentive and gave us great recommendations. The food was super good! We enjoyed the mole sampler. I got the mango enchiladas and they were so good!! Lots of food and very reasonable prices. The desserts were yummy as well. Can’t wait to come back! It was very busy but the food came out so quick! Very efficient and impressive.

Great Mexican meal. Simple decor. Very busy - easy to tell it is well liked. I had iguana plate with beef, and a margarita. Both were excellent on taste - five star. Contemporary pricing. Some off street parking. Would definitely return.

I want to give it 5, but I just can't. We heard about this place all the way down in Florida and we were told by locals that it's the very best there is. We were seated quickly, party of 4, but then saw that we were ignored for atleast 10 minutes or longer, while the tables on both sides of us were catered to - being seated after us. This does not sit well with me, huge pet peeve. Chips, salsa and drinks need to be done within 1-2 minutes of being seated. The chips and salsa were great. Really good. The drinks are good. Wife had the limon drop and it was REALLY good. The rest of the food was about what we would expect. I had the red iguana plate and it was good, wife had the chicken enchiladas and they were just standard offerings you would find anywhere. The nachos were decent but I think the Mexican food spots down south know how to nacho much better. The chimichanga was solid. Nothing to rave about, but a good meal. Overall our party of 4 was content. We were slightly let down based on the reputation, but we were not disappointed overall. One thing we didn't really care for was how soaking wet most of the entrees are. Maybe thats just their style, but it was quite soggy. Location was great! We might be back before we are out of town. Maybe try the other location and all different entrees. Solid place overall. 👌

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We heard Red Iguana 2 had some of the best authentic Mexican food in Salt Lake City, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The place was packed on a Saturday night, which was a great sign that this is the place to be—and the lively, colorful atmosphere made it feel like a true fiesta. The salsa was fresh and flavorful, and we loved that the chips were gluten free (a big plus for my wife). They came out warm and perfectly crispy—I’m pretty sure they were made in house. We also ordered guacamole, which was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor, served with plenty of chips. For mains, my wife went with the enchiladas, smothered in rich sauce and cooked to perfection, and I ordered the carne asada burritos, which were hearty, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted homemade and authentic. Our server, Deya, was wonderful. Even with the restaurant packed, she gave us great attention, made recommendations, and had our apps and entrées out surprisingly fast. She also checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. If you visit, I’d definitely recommend asking for Deya—she made the evening even more enjoyable. Between the incredible food, the vibrant atmosphere, and the outstanding service, Red Iguana 2 is a must-visit when you’re in Salt Lake City. We’ll definitely be back!

Every time we visit Salt Lake City, we make sure the visit includes a trip to Red Iguana 2. A favourite restaurant of ours. The food is authentic, flavourful and perfectly prepared. An absolute 10/10 and will definitely keep recommending this place.

This place has some of the best mole I have ever had! I ordered the Puntas De Filete A La Norteña. It's steak with almond mole with beans or rice and flour tortillas. This place is super cool and unique. If you're in salt lake city you gotta give this place a try it's only 10 minutes away from downtown. The service was just OK... the server we had was not tenitive, but he was friendly. Get a picture next to the Red iguana in the parking lot.
