I lived in Denver for 5 years and hadn't been back to Red Iguana 1 since moving back to SLC. Tried to go last week, and....shocking as this may be....it was out-the-door packed. So, reluctantly, I let my husband talk me into going to 2. Boy howdy was it good.
I know I say everything in Denver is better, but people, there ain't no Mexican food in Denver like this. In fact, the only better Mexican food I have ever had is at El Fagon in Playa del Carmen.
My husband had the puntas de filete a la Nortena, which was amazing, if you like Mole. I had the Tacos Dona Ramon, and they were insane...so insane with goodness. Seriously, deep fried corn tortilla shell, tastey, juicy meat, fresh toppings, and spicy salsa made for one of the best taco experiences of my life.
I always say I'm not big on Mexican food, but that's just because there are too many bad Mexican restaurants. This is quickly becoming my favorite Utah restaurant. Tons of Mexican beers, too. It still gets busy in here, but they have valet, and more open seatin than 1. So, so good, ya'll.
