Best Sushi in Salt Lake City. Be prepared for a wait (but it is worth it). I recommend getting your name on the list then going next door to "Post Office Place" for a drink and appetizer (same owner as Takashi)

Red Iguana is a pretty popular location for tourists and locals alike. The mexican food is authentic and solid. I know the owners well. Pro Tip: Skip "The Red Iguana" and go to "Red Iguana 2" which always has shorter lines/waits.
