Food & DrinkEasyYear-round

Join the inevitable line for a taste of SLC’s most famous culinary institution, celebrated for its complex, traditional Mexican mole sauces.

Itinerary tips

  • 1Plan for a 30 to 60-minute wait as this location does not accept reservations and remains consistently busy.
  • 2Order a mole sampler plate to taste all seven varieties before committing to a full entree.
  • 3Take the TRAX Blue or Green line to the North Temple Bridge station for a short five-minute walk to avoid parking hassles.
  • 4Utilize the small overflow parking lot located just west of the restaurant if the main street parking is full.
  • 5Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the outdoor waiting area is shaded and can get breezy.
  • 6Visit the 'Red Iguana 2' location nearby on South West Temple if the original North Temple line is over an hour long.
