• 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.

What an incredible meal! The food was outstanding, and the presentation was that of a Michelin restaurant. Our server Christine was impeccable and did not miss anything. The ambiance was rich and warming. The elk loin was cooked to perfection and the halibut was delicious. If you like beef tartare, this is the place to get it. The salted caramel pudding was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for that special place for dinner.
