“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant on earth. In all of the earth. The enmoladas are my go to. The service is friendly and the food comes quick. I was a patron of their red brother for 20+ years, but once I tried Blue, I was converted forever. The ambiance, the food, all of it. It’s so good.”

“We were a party of 10 on 4th of July dinner and they accommodated us beautifully. Most of us were from Texas, having traveled to SLC for a wedding, so we weren’t expecting such great margaritas or food!! The Cadillac Margarita was perfect, and everyone loved their various dinner choices.
The menu had a ton of great options so the only hard part was making a decision. I had the calamari tacos which were wonderful and not something you’ll find on most Mexican restaurant menus. My boyfriend ordered one of the moles (mole verde with chicken) and it was simply outstanding. Their hot sauce was also delicious.
The customer service was perfect (we wanted for nothing and we were 10 of us!!) and they went above and beyond by finding and securing a pair of expensive sunglasses we accidentally left there, only realizing it when we got back to Texas. When I called, the person who answered the phone remembered us, told me they’d found them, and gave me info on who to talk to the next day. The owner had to make a special trip to send them via UPS. I can’t say enough great things about them and their food and service! The place was also well-decorated with a very fun environment. Be sure to make it a stop when in Salt Lake City! Cheers!”

“Lovely place! Loved the decor. Very eclectic. Food was great too. For a weekday lunch, the place was pretty busy, but our server made sure everything was right and even recommended a couple of options.
For a person living in AZ with no dearth of choices for Mexican food, this place was right up there with some of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to.”

“The Mole covered chicken enchiladas are so freaking good. Was visiting SLC for work 2 weekends in a row and we ended up going 3 times and recommending it to everyone we saw. The variety of moles was excellent. The live singer was great and the location was perfect right down town. Can’t wait to go back!”

“It took a while to find the Blue Iguana because of all the construction around downtown Salt Lake City, but it was worth it. It’s a little dark inside, but the wait staff are friendly and they walked us through the extensive menu. After some crispy chips dipped in spicy salsa and a refreshing margarita, we got an order of fish tacos (crispy battered flaky whitefish smothered in veggies and cheese over corn tortillas) with rice and refried beans. And then the camarones with mole. We got the Amarillo mole because it was a little spicy and boy was it delicious! My mouth is watering just thinking about it again. The Blue Iguana is a little oasis in downtown Salt Lake City. You definitely have to give it a try when you’re in town!”

“I wish I could give a higher rating – I had an amazing experience at Blue Iguana when I visited yesterday for dinner with my friend. There is a parking garage nearby that is free if you get validation from Blue Iguana.
I was surprised at how tasty their Skinny Margarita is – it doesn’t have that artificial sweetener taste that I was mentally prepared for. I will definitely be ordering that again. I ordered the combo fajitas and it was so delicious – it came with shrimp, chicken and steak. The portion was HUGE so I got two meals worth from the one order, which is great! It came with a side of guac, sour cream and pico de gallo along with two flour tortillas and rice/beans. My friend ordered cheese enchiladas and loved it so much her plate was basically licked clean. The service was also great. General Manager German was serving us and was so nice! We hope to see him again next time we go in!”

“This was our first time going and definitely not our last!!! The service was quick, the food was out of this world and the flavor was magnificent!
We got seafood enchiladas and puntas de filete! What stood out to me the most was the mole de almendras (almond mole). I had never had it before, but the creamy, savory, earthy flavor was a great balance to the salty, spicy flavor of the meat. Truly a masterpiece!
With its beautiful festive colors and friendly atmosphere, this place is a must try!”

“You want AUTHENTIC Mexican then this is it, they have such a fun lively atmosphere and awesome signature margaritas. Delicious chimichangas, burritos, tacos, fajitas and more.
The traditional molĂ©s is my favorite thing at this restaurant. They are famous for it. You can choose to have it with choice of chicken, turkey, or pork chops served with rice, beans & corn or flour tortillas. My wife had it with chicken and it was to die for. The mole she chose was poblano and it came with Red chiles, peanuts, pecans, cinnamon, chocolate & peanut butter. Mmmmmm .. soooo flavorful it’s a slightly sweet sauce and you can taste the chocolate But only a little bit, it’s not too rich. This one was not spicy at all. We both loved it .
We also got the seafood enchilada. They give you a big portion of seafood in it and it was fantastic I could only eat half of it, I had to take the rest home.”
