The Good Kind of Mole

So in Salt Lake City, UT there is a small local Mexican chain called "The Red Iguana".  I will not be giving a full review but i did get to try their moles. For those who do not know what a mole is, it is a sauce that uses fruits, vegetables, spices and cocoa as the base of the sauce. It is the equivalent to a "curry" in India but originated in the Latin American region. The Red Iguana's main specialty are these moles. When i went i had it on the go but you still get a sense of how much food and flavor you get when you order one. Just one of the dishes could easily serve two people and maybe even still have leftovers. Flavor wise they are unique in many ways; they are homemade moles so all of the ingredients are fresh. These moles also range in the area of flavors, most moles are heavy in cocoa but you can select from more fruit or vegetables oriented moles. Overall this has to be one of the best places i have tried to get a very great quality mole. I will say i have not tried anything else BUT i assume it would be just a great as the moles. They have many locations located though Salt Lake and i would suggest going to check it out if you have a love for Mexican food or want to try something new.
