• Mexican • Downtown

Booked 30 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.

This place is incredible! The vibe, the drinks, the staff, literally EVERYTHING. We sat at the bar and made friends with the bartenders almost instantly. Leo and our homie that also works at the westerner (I’m so sorry I’m forgetting his name, I think it was Brian?) were absolutely remarkable. This place is a must visit.

This was my second dinner service at Ivy and Varley. Again they blew it out of the water! We were on a time crunch and we made it out the door with plenty of time. The food was again delicious with great flavor experiences all around- from the burgers to the pastas. The portions were large, and the beverages were excellent.
