Green Iguana Mexican Restaurant is a family-owned Mexican kitchen at 250 Red Cliffs Drive, Suite 14A, in a strip center off Red Cliffs Drive on St. George’s east side, near Interstate 15. Locals and road-trippers go there for generous, familiar plates, cold beer and margaritas at fair prices. It holds a 4.1 rating on Tripadvisor and ranks in the city’s top 30 restaurants.
The menu focuses on smothered burritos and combination plates. The signature California Burrito wraps carne asada, fried potatoes, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo and cheese in a 12-inch flour tortilla. You can top it with green, white or red sauce, or order it “Bandera” style with all three to echo the Mexican flag. There’s also the house Tres Queso cheese sauce. Burritos come with rice and beans, and black beans are available on request (Yelp). The dining room is relaxed and kid-friendly, and service feels personal.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Weekday afternoons between lunch and dinner are the quietest times. Expect waits on Friday and Saturday evenings and during spring and fall, when Zion National Park visitors fill the city. To skip the line, order takeout through the restaurant’s online menu. Portions are large, so consider sharing a smothered burrito. Confirm current hours on the official website before you go, especially on holidays.
