| The Red Iguana Sign |
The Red Iguana is a Mexican restaurant located in Salt Lake City. It is a little off the beaten path but is an easy ride from downtown. It is a Mexican restaurant. But it is not Americanized at all. We had a 30-35 minute wait. The outside of the restaurant was filled with people waiting but wait was shorter than we thought.
Once we were inside we sat down and ordered drinks, they came quickly. My parents both got food with mole (sauce) which is what the Red Iguana is famous for. I got a deep fried taco like thing. My dad's food came with pumpkin mole and my mom's with chocolate mole. They both said the mole was awesome. Once we were almost done our meal two guitarists came over and asked if we would like music. They played us De Colores a Mexican kids song.
The decor was great. The walls were covered with Mexican posters and such. Also the door had different stickers that covered it so you could not see any part of the red door. It was a great meal. And my parents who thought it was going to be Americanized were proven dead wrong. It was a real Mexican Restaurant. Lastly the whole place was great and super family friendly. Plus it was loud so you could not hear my brother screaming.
Yummm! Sounds perfect - wish I could taste that pumpkin mole. We'll have to check it out next time we're in SLC.
ReplyDeletei like how you colored the name of the restaurant in red!
ReplyDeleteall in all what rating out of ten would give the red iguana? the fact that they did not try and seat you near the bathroom (like that other restaurant) has got be worth at least a rating point or two.
btw-vf (very funny)comment about the noise level.
Sounds like an exciting meal. You would make a very good P.R. man for this restaurant. Even found a positive use for the loud noise. Very creative. However, it is a little out of the way for me to consider. Perhaps I should give Mia a try one day. Who knows, I may even see Pippy there.
ReplyDeleteP.S. What is mole? sounds like an exterminator may be handy dinning companion.
