• Mexican • Downtown
Booked 45 times today
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.

    If you are looking for top-tier, unforgettable sushi, look no further! From the moment I took my first bite, I could tell this restaurant prioritizes freshness and quality above all else. The fish was incredibly fresh, with flavors that were vibrant and pure. Each piece was carefully crafted right in front of you balancing texture, taste, and presentation. The spicy tuna hand roll was absolutely outstanding, with perfectly seasoned rice that complemented the delicate, buttery fish. The nigiri was excellent as well, the presentation and friendliness of staff made the experience even better. Beyond the sushi, the atmosphere was live and inviting. The service was attentive without being overbearing. It’s clear this place takes pride in every detail, from the sourcing of ingredients to the delivery of the food. If you’re a sushi lover, this spot is an absolute must visit. It is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared!
