Purchased from the Red Iguana family in 1998, the Blue Iguana Restaurant has provided patrons with delicious, authentic Mexican food for over two decades. From day one, the only goal for Blue Iguana was to create a menu rich with traditional, old-world recipes while pushing the culinary envelope and creating new, one-of-a-kind Mexican cuisine.

Trained by the culinary artists of Chihuahua, our head chef, Chef Castillo, cooks up some of the most mouth-watering and unexpected Mexican cuisine outside of his homeland. After he learned closely guarded recipes created in the tradition of generations-old Aztec cuisine, Chef Castillo began applying these techniques to create everything from classic Mexican dishes to modern cuisine.

Our restaurant is warm, inviting, family-friendly, and full of energy. Dining at the Blue Iguana is more than a meal—it’s a journey back in time to the tastes and sounds of old-world Mexico.

Blue Iguana never disappoints. We had reservations and were seated immediately upon arrival. Our server arrived soon after to take our orders. My wife had Enchiladas Suizas. These are shredded chicken & sour cream enchiladas smothered with Mole Poblano topped with cheese and avocado slices. I had Mole de Almendras, the delicious original Blue Iguana mole with almonds, spices and milk served with grilled chicken. Both meals were served with rice and beans. We highly recommend Blue Iguana for both quality of food and excellent service.

Great atmosphere! Live music was fun. Loud but added to the atmosphere. Didn’t like chips and salsa on the table before being seated. Trash on the floor. Wait staff seemed stretched thin so every step took a while. Food was quick but also mediocre. Unfortunately, I can’t stomach the idea of trying again..

Forced to order dinner when placing drink orders, when normally you order drinks, and then review menu while enjoying drinks. Got wrong entree. No parking except street parking. Will never return.
Blue Iguana - Salt Lake CityResponded on November 12, 2023
Tom, thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, us downtown restaurants can't control the parking too much. While there's only street parking on Sundays, guests do have access to the nearby parking garage which we do validate from during the other 6 days of the week. However, we're sorry you got the wrong entree and we hope you were able to communicate that with our server so they could make that right for you. Your experience is important to us, so please know your feedback here was valuable to us.

Our food and service were delicious and very attentive! However although our table was set for us with salsa and chips and napkins and silverware the actual table was very sticky from probably a sugared drink! When I rested my arm on the table my sweater stuck to the table!

Shawnie, we are so sorry about the sticky table. We'll talk to our staff so that doesn't happen again. However, we are glad to see that you enjoyed your food and service. We hope you'll give us a second shot in the future!

We had a reservation for 10 people- they were ready when we got there…. But then forgot about us- we waited over 45 minutes and had to ask for a waitress to take our orders- then waited another 45 minutes and never got our food. Over an hour of no service. We never did get our meals and we were late getting back to our conference which was literally right across the street. Beware conference goers- you may be forgotten and hungry if you choose this place.

Thank you for the feedback. This is certainly not on par with our normal service standard. Please email me at biguana [at] aol [doctom], and we'll see what we can do to make up for this.

Food was basic standard Mexican fare, lacking freshness and unique flavors. My steak was particularly mediocre, overdone and the cut of meat was definitely not New York. Service was fine, but probably will not come back

Food was okay. Service was a bit slow. Waiter couldn’t tell us much about the food. No future plans to return.
