• Mexican • Downtown

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.

    It was literally one of the best dining experiences of our lives! The service was impeccable, not to mention so perfectly personalized and endearing. Every staff member seemed concerned with every guest and every table. We started off with one of their signature cocktails and the carpaccio. I got the risotto with white truffles and my wife got the zucchini gnocchi. The carpaccio melted in your mouth and my wife loved the gnocchi but the star of the dinner was the risotto and yes I paid over one hundred dollars for Arborio , but it was not only the best risotto I’ve ever had but one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Five stars for the entire experience.
