" What a delightful experience at Red Iguana! I came in for a dinner with my family and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The mole enchiladas were a highlight, with rich sauce and tender chicken inside. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. The kids found their options appealing too, especially the tacos. The atmosphere felt festive and warm, making it perfect for family gatherings. Friendly staff made sure we had a great time. We'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Iguana became my go-to spot for Mexican cuisine during my stay in Salt Lake City. Each visit, I’ve had a different dish, and they’ve all been excellent! I especially recommend the chicken enchiladas with mole poblano. The server was incredibly knowledgeable and offered great suggestions. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for both families and couples. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dinner here last night! The decorations give it real character, making it a fun spot. We started with a guacamole and chips appetizer while enjoying a healthy serving of margaritas. The main course was a chicken mole dish, and it was absolutely delicious. The waiter recommended a mole to complement the chicken, and I’m glad I followed that. Fantastic flavor! The service was a bit slow but overall still attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Driving through Salt Lake City, I made a stop at Red Iguana based on a friend's recommendation. The service was quick and friendly, which made the visit pleasurable. Tried the mole sampler which was an adventure in itself! The portions were great value for the price, and I appreciated the authenticity of the flavors in every dish. All in all, it is definitely worth checking out if you want to delve into some genuine Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally had a chance to visit Red Iguana and it lived up to the hype! The mole emperador is something I’ve never tasted before, and it was an excellent combination of spices and flavors. I wish I could have tried more from the menu! The only slight downside was a little wait time during peak hours, but it was well worth it for the food and the charming atmosphere. Definitely will be a repeat customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Iguana has earned a place in my heart! The mole is top-notch, and I loved their flautas. The atmosphere is buzzing, and I found the staff very welcoming. It was one of those places where even after being stuffed full, I had no issue ordering dessert because it just sounded that good! If you haven't been here yet, make it a priority next time you’re in SLC! " (*Curated Review*)

" Red Iguana is a feast for the senses! I absolutely adored their mole sauces, particularly the mole negro, which complemented my enchiladas superbly. The ambiance was festive, filled with local art. I appreciated the knowledge of my server, who guided me through the extensive menu. The only downside was how packed it was; it was definitely wise to make a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)
