"Red Iguana has been making some of the city’s best Mexican food since opening in 1985. Both its downtown locations are right by the airport, so it makes for a great stop if you just touched down and sipping a margarita is more important than unpacking. They have six signature mole sauces—spice lovers will enjoy the habanero-spiked mole amarillo, while the mole negro and mole poblano lean sweeter. And if you’re actually headed to the airport, take one of the mole sauces to go, if you can be trusted to properly wrap a pint in your suitcase. Just know neither spot takes reservations, and you might have to wait an hour for a table. photo credit: Blake Peterson" - Jenny Willden
