While in Utah, I discovered that thousands of Mexicans arrived in Utah in the early 1900s to work in the mines, which led to an abundance of great Mexican restaurants.
Red Iguana is one of them.
The first time we tried to go there, we made the mistake of going the same night as a Utah Jazz game, so it was packed.
We didn't want to wait for the 35-45 minutes we were quoted, so we returned the next day, at the recommendation of the employee, who said it shouldn't be too crowded.
We returned early afternoon, thinking it was an off-peak time, but we were wrong! It was very crowded, but thankfully no wait.
And we were lucky to get seated, because we were told that parties larger than 5 need to make reservations, which we did not have. Fortunately, the employee gathered seats around a little table to squeeze us in - we were grateful!

We were immediately given some Chips & Salsa that were so addicting. The salsa was smooth with a little spice. We loved it and got seconds (complimentary!)

| Shrimp Quesadilla |
The Shrimp Quesadilla was an appetizer, but it was huge, like a meal in itself!

| Beef Burrito |

| Enmoladas |
It was my first time having enmoladas, and it was delicious. There was a little sweetness from the mole, and I loved the smoky beans and pickled red onions.
The Red Iguana is a combo plate consisting of a cheese enchilada, a beef taco, beef flauta, chile relleno, and a beef tostada. It also came with rice and beans on the side. It was a huge plate and perfect if you can't decide what to order and / or want to try a bunch of popular items.
The food was fantastic and the service was great. Highly recommend Red Iguana when visiting Salt Lake City!
