Blue Iguana

Terraces of tortillas tower over simmering basins of mole, like the temples of ancient Tenochtitlan. Here, in Blue Iguana’s kitchens, Chef Castillo imparts the culinary arts of the Aztec empire to his team of cooks using his labyrinthine knowledge of Chihuahua, Mexico. In this province, families fiercely guard such traditions to honor their forebears and preserve their culture’s legacy for future generations. Castillo specializes in premodern mole recipes, which teem with rich ingredients such as chocolate, almonds, and pumpkin seeds. Guests seeking a lighter meal can customize tacos with a choice of more than 10 fillings, including grilled yellowfin, charbroiled sirloin, sautéed mushrooms, and spicy pork chorizo. Brimming with top-shelf tequilas such as Patron Silver and Don Julio, the restaurant’s margaritas are as heady as a Hydra turned sommelier.
