oh this place is good, very good. sure there may be a waiting line, but it's because the food is excellent. this is one of the best places serving food in slc. it does though of course have it's imperfections mainly because of the location and building, but the food is absolutely excellent. Pros: authentic food, not typical Cons: there may be a waiting line

The wait is much too long for a restaurant that serves bad food. I don't know what all the hype has been about but the food is NOT good. There was so much cinnamon cooked into EVERYTHING that I couldn't take more than a couple bites. The seating itself is much too crowded and too loud to carry a conversation with anyone. It?s like a yelling match to talk to the person next to you. Horrible food - will never go back. If I could give zero stars I would have. Pros: Nothing Cons: Everything

Red Iguana 736 W North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84116 Headline For the love of god, can RI get a decent place for people to wait or WTF? It's complete torture to wait for a table at RI; usually some beggar comes up and wants me to fund their drunkeness campaign, or a huge bus pulls up and lets 30 conventioneers off (all the while i am sucking bus fumes), or some other baudy street scene from one of SLC's WORST neighborhoods unfolds. No shade, no shelter, no drinks, a couple of bombed out benches facing North temple, the ugliest place on the planet. Good grief, make a small bar out of the quarter of the parking lot in the back and SERVE your customers. Sheesh Pros: I can smoke on tailpipes for free Cons: waiting outside in the WORST place on earth.

Red Iguana is the Orrin Hatch of Mexican Restaurants. Orrin Hatch took office about the same time Red Iguana opened. They both took Utah by storm and established their presence as a major player in their respective fields: Hatch = politics & Red Iguana = Mexican food. 25 years later, both Orrin Hatch and the Red Iguana are living and succeeding off of the reputation that they built many years ago. However, their product and service have gone down hill and they are both past their prime. Hatch is out of touch with the average person because he's been in Washington way to long. Red Iguana believes that their reputation can overshadow their sub-par food. The common thread between Hatch and the Red Iguana is that the people of Utah continue to sing their praise because it's all they know. They follow blindly echoing the sentiments of their friends, neighbors, and ward members. I will admit that the mole at Red Iguana is very good. However, the rest of their menu is unimpressive. If you'd like to try an authentic Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake City, try either Mi Ranchito on State St. or Hector's Miramar on 1300 South. ***I've eaten at Red Iguana since 1993. I only eat there now when I have clients who request it. My wife is Mexican. I've spent considerable time in multiple cities in Mexico. I wish Red Iguana had better food, because I live on Capitol Hill and Red Iguana is very close to my home*** Pros: Mole Cons: long lines, average food

This is the best mexican restaurant in Utah. Nothing else comes close. I order something different each time, and it's always good. You can't go wrong here. Pros: everything is good Cons: none

I love this place. Every time my in-laws come to town they take my husband and I here. It has authentic Mexican food and a cool (but crowded) atmosphere. The food is always great! If you don?t like waiting outside in the hot/cold weather, you can call in your order and eat at home! I would recommend trying both. This place is great. Pros: Yummy Food, Great Service, Reasonable $$ Cons: It's in Rose Park, Long Wait Time

This has to be one of the few places in the entire state of Utah that KNOWS what authentic Mexican food is, should taste like, and how to cook it up right. I have eaten here twice now since I've lived in Utah, and it's as close to what I ate on a regular basis back in So Cal. The wait is usually long, which stinks, but it lets you know that people are coming here, and keep coming back, for a reason. The eatery itself is small and seating on the cramped side. It's very noisy during busy hours, so not a romantic place by any sense of the word if that's what you're looking for. If you're looking for tasty, spicy, plentiful food - this is your place! Pros: Excellent food! Cons: Crowded, with long wait times to be seated

We have been here often, many of our friends love this place, but one thing.... we do not understand why everyone goes crazy about the food.... we feel it is quite average... but fun place to go, like the family and the staff, but the food could be much better. We would recommend a better Mexican Food place in Park City called El Chubasco... tiny mex diner type place with great authentic mexican food, not Baja Mex, and crazy cheap prices...
