" Red Iguana has been on my radar for a while, so finally getting to dine here was thrilling! I selected the tacos don Ramon, which were tasty and paired wonderfully with their delicious salsas. I truly enjoyed the uniqueness of the mole options and appreciated the ability to sample before choosing. One downside was the wait for a table, which was expected. If you're planning a visit, make a reservation to avoid lines. Overall, an impactful dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

They even let me sample different moles, which was quite the treat! I left feeling very satisfied and certainly hope to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

I went with the seafood enchiladas, and they were stuffed to the brim! So fresh and flavorful. The ambiance was joyful with Latin music playing softly in the background. When you come here, make sure to leave room for dessert; the tres leches cake is out of this world! " (*Curated Review*)
