There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

Go to the Red Iguana. Do it. Don't you dare NOT do it.
Order the Puntas de Filete a la Nortena, but instead of the almond mole, ask for the mole amarillo. Best. Dish. Ever. Has a bit of a kick to it and the flavor is rockin.
Really you can't go wrong no matter what you get there.

It's not tex-mex and it's not "authentic Mexican" either. It's billed as pre-Hispanic and Aztec cuisine. The price is reasonable, and really the food is just amazing.
First time we went there was in 1997 and we grabbed a city guide to SLC for restaurant recommendations. That one had good reviews so we decided to hit it up. When we arrived it was this dinky little hole in the wall place which made us go hmmmm...but we gave it a shot anyway. Oh my. A few years later we moved to SLC and it was a place I regularly went to eat. The original location has gotten so popular that they opened up a second location a couple blocks away so they wouldn't have to turn down customers. It's not a chain- it's the same restaurant, they just have an overflow location lol. If the original restaurant is too busy they'll direct people to the other so they don't have to wait as long.
Here's a bit about them. I really can't say enough in their praise.

Well hell, if I ever end up in Salt Lake City again I'll be finding that place. That's as solid an endorsement as I've seen for a restaurant that wasn't a paid one.

is it any coincidence that it was recently labelled the gayest city in America and you are announcing that you are going there for business?

Exactly right.
Hopefully the women will have let their guard down.
