That in itself is enough to make you turn around but you keep on going. The hostess will recognize you and seat you right away, but the reset of the... more

The upscale step-sister to the Red Iguana. Good salsa yet I have had better mole. I only sampled the Mole Poblano, yet judging by the burps on the plane ride home with the rest of the crew, there is something slightly off here. Flour tortillas not homemade. Despite the above, probably the better Mexican places in Utah. more

I can't say enough about this restaurant and the people who work there. They saved the day for a very important friend who left his cherished and irreplaceable hat there. God moves in mysterious ways and this was a wonderful demonstration of divine intervention. Thank You Blue Iguana. Maryann and Edward Smith more
