The moles at Red Iguana are legit

Good info GF. This probably made up my mind not to go. I like mexican food but basic food. Beef enchilades, tacos, beef and been burritos... so we will be eeating somewhere else.

If you want to hit up Red instead of Blue, it's an easy .8 mile walk from your spot. Or, you can take the GREEN TO AIRPORT trax directly across from the arena to cut down on the hiking. The area seems rough, but it's Utah rough. I walk that place all the time with no problems. If anything, the crackheads & hoes are pure entertainment. I had one going off on me the other day at the crosswalk about how big of a *gay pejorative* I was. Not talking directly at me or anything, but it was funny as hell.

If you can handle the price I highly recommend Flemmings in the Gateway. Splurge on a $45 steak and a side or two. They cook a 2" steak to perfection. That's hard to do (go tech).

One last thing, knowing your wife is illegal is just one more reason for me to get driven over amnesty. I know a few people in your position who have a spouse and kids and their partners are banned for life from USA due to too many illegal migrations. It's ****ed up.

She is actually thinking steaks as well instead of Mexican. That's a good tip as we will be at gateway at some point lol.

Also lmfao at "Utah rough". I've seen worse. Also my EX wife is illegal. My current wife is as white as they come.

I've eaten at Red Iguana once. I was taken there by a guy who grew up in Mexico City for 25 years before immigrating. He recommended the mole. I hated it and haven't had mole since. That's nothing against RI or the reason I haven't returned. I think it's hard to cook bad Mexican food so it's a price point choice for me. There is very good Mexican and very chef boyardee Mexican. Many of my co-workers love a Rose Park place you may know called Chubby's. I've been there at least 100 times and their slop is nothing short of out-of-the-can trash, yet still edible and enjoyable.

Maybe my palate is refined enough now to give mole a second shot. I'll hit it up next week and let you know since you're such a huge RI guy.

I agree with most of this.
**** mole. Nasty ****

My favorite Mexican restaurant is La Luna. For my wife and I the combined bill plus tip is only about 15 dollars. Really good food too.

Good Mexican food can be found for very very cheap.

How did this trip go?

I just remembered this was happening at the same time I did a birthday pub crawl Saturday night that made it to 8 bars, maybe some overlapped?

We ended up doing some shopping. I got a bunch of crap for my girls. Hoodies, ear rings, purses, toys...my main pick up is a nice leather jacket. Love it.

Then we ended up going to Olive Garden of all places lol. They nailed their stuffed mushrooms, Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Braised Beef with Tortollini. Waiter told us how much he hates Utah lol.

Then we hit Keys On Main and had a reserved stage side table. Rocked out. Our tab after a dozen drink was like 60$ lol.

Had a great weekend.
