Red Iguana - Utah's Most Awarded Mexican Restaurant

Holy mole! Can anyone remember a year when Red Iguana didn’t win the Best of Utah award for Best Mexican? Will it ever happen? We should live so long. When Red Iguana founders Ramon and Maria Cardenas got into the restaurant biz more than 40 years ago, they couldn’t have possibly foreseen the success they’d have. But Red Iguana is so popular with lovers of Mexican food that it’s now spawned Red Iguana 2 and Taste of Red Iguana with, undoubted, more Iguanas to come. The reason: A fun, funky atmosphere combined with friendly service and signature dishes such as cochinita pibil, papadzules, chilaquiles, puntas de filete a la Norteña and, of course, those glorious moles. Multiple locations.

Most Faaabulous Mexican Food
Red Iguana

Obviously, Red Iguana has won just about every food award in existence, so why shouldn’t it retain its 2009 Fabby title? Salt Lake residents have been gobbling up the Cardenas family’s “killer Mexican food” for 40 years now. And if the lines that stretch around its two locations are any indication, Red Iguana will be doing booming business for another 40. Their molé is, indeed, holy.
