Red Iguana
Red Iguana has been on every show imaginable about Salt Lake City’s food scene. Between downtown and the airport, Red Iguana is always packed with hungry crowds. The specialty here is the authentic mole that comes in seven varieties and colors. Perhaps the crown jewel of their many mole dishes is the Puntas de Filete a la Nortena, which features house sautéed sirloin tips dressed with bacon, jalapeno strips, onions and tomatoes, all on top of a bed of almond mole.
