About Us

Ramon and Maria Cardenas started in the restaurant business
over forty years ago. Ramon was born in San
Luis Potosi. Maria, born in Chihuahua,
Mexico, passed away in 2002. Together, they shared a passion for Mexican
cuisine, and created recipes and dishes proudly served as delicious expressions
of their cultural background.The Red Iguana restaurant opened its doors
in 1985 to resounding applause and numerous local and national awards.
The Cardenas family has had the pleasure of serving its dedicated patrons
in the Salt Lake Valley since 1965 with the Casa Grande and Red Iguana
restaurants. Ramon and Maria created unique yet traditional Mexican recipes,
now passed on to the Cardenas children who are proudly continuing the
family tradition.Serving the Salt Lake Valley all these years has been
an honor and we are very grateful to all our loyal patrons.
With the addition of our third restaurant, Taste of Red
Iguana, we present selected dishes from the original RED
IGUANA.
Thank you,The
Cardenas family
