Editorial Review for Blue Iguana – by Jason Esplin and Robyn Galbos

The Scene
A covered stairwell takes you to this basement location where lively music and good food await. The small shaded patio is inviting in the warmer months.

The Food
Traditional Mexican favorites burst with rich flavors and come in satisfying portions. The shredded beef and fish tacos are simple and tasty. Savory and complex flavors come through in mouth-watering mole dishes. The enchiladas poblanas and enchiladas suizas, both topped with piquant mole poblano, are deliciously rich choices. Hearty appetites will appreciate the Blue Iguana: A chile relleno, beef taco, cheese enchilada, beef flauta and beef tostada. With a selection of eight tequilas, like Cuervo Gold, Herradura Anejo and Patron, the classic margaritas are wonderfully satisfying. The restaurant now offers an easy-to-read liquor menu to help the timid decide on something more exotic than your basic lime-green standard.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

We love Red Iguana and thought we would try the Blue Iguana. The service was severely lacking. We had to ask for a kids menu, had to ask for drinks and re-ask when one was forgotten. The restaurant was empty and while the food came quickly, we waited for a check and finally just went to the counter to pay. The food was mediocre at best, I assume that it was just all frozen and reheated, no real flavor. The margarita was good, but can you really mess up a margarita? Save your money for the Red Iguana. There is no need to waste time at this restaurant. I'm even disappointed that I had to give this place 1 star.

Pros: good margarita

Cons: hard to get to, service lacking

3 Star Rating: Average

The food was OK. The Salsa's were hot, but not really the fresh kind I expected for such a highly rated mexican place. The Pork dish I had was not good, but the other more standard selections that the others had were fine. This was similar to a Chevy's or a mexican chain restaurant. I have found some Taquira places in Murray that were better.

Pros: Downtown

Cons: Nothing special here
