Frommer's Highly Recommended

Another locals' favorite, owned and operated by the Cardenas family, the Red Iguana is one of the few Mexican joints anywhere that specializes in mole -- the spicy sauce named for a Nahuatl (Aztec) word meaning concoction. Just as the colorful dining room nearly overwhelms the eyes, the amarillo mole served over chicken nearly overwhelms the taste buds with its fiery combination of aji amarillo and guajillo peppers, vegetables, and spices. Other enticing variations of mole include verde, negro, red pipian with peanuts and pumpkin seeds, and several more. The menu doesn't begin and end with mole, however: a full slate of Mexican standards, seafood, and egg dishes is available, as are beer and wine.
