    the front of the restaurant

    Ended up at this little hole in the wall on accident. I was on lunch break working a construction job up in Ogden. Not being familiar with the area i put in my gps for one of my favorite places for chicken El Pollo Loco. However when i arrived at my destination i did not realize i had actually clicked on a place called El Pollo Rico. So i decided to try it out and i was not disappointed. The menu looked to be a Mexican/American mix with a lot of Mexican hamburger options but i was on a mission for chicken. 10 Bucks will get you a couple chicken thighs, beans, rice, corn or flour tortillas, a roasted jalapeño, a lime, and a little cup of pickled onions and a Jaritos. The chicken was nice and juicy and the skin was grilled to perfection nice and crispy. The green avocado salsita was very delicious and the red had great flavor and a lot of heat. I love tearing off pieces of my chicken and just dunking them in the spicy red sauce! Overall a great little unsuspected lunch break for a hard working construction gal like myself

    A friend told me this place has good chicken, so I dropped by while visiting Weber state university. Got the half-chicken, which came with rice and beans and tortillas. I was surprised how huge the portion was! And oh my it was good. As in really goooood. I'm definitely coming back!

    Quesadilla and 1/4 chicken with corn tortillas rice and beans!  Delicious!

    I stopped by while visiting a friend because someone told me about this restaurant. I ordered the Hawaiian hamburger, it was deelicious!! Since then I've stopped by to try their Mexican menu and everything is deelicious!! Definitely one of my go to places for lunch and dinner if I'm craving something healthy and not so healthy at the same time! Their grilled chicken is Soo good! Much better than El Pollo loco...

    1/2 chicken with rice and beans was my choice. Chicken was grilled perfectly and very juicy. Had 2 corn and 2 flour tortillas, both were handmade in house. Watch out for the spicy red salsa. Very good food, great service.

    Bought 3 taco combo which a drink is included, did all the math and there was $5 worth of charges that weren't accounted for.

    Chicken burritos are amazing. I don't know what is in it but it is really good. Also, the beans are really good.

    A birthday surprise I'll never forget!…read more This restaurant came highly recommended by a former employee, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we sat down, everything impressed us. I tried a mezcal cocktail for the first time, the blueberry mezcal,and it was incredibly unique, smoky, slightly sweet, and just overall delicious. For food, we ordered the corn, poblano tamales, and the chorizo steak burrito. Every bite was packed with flavor. Portions were generous, so much so that we ended up taking leftovers home (always a good sign!). But the true highlight of the evening? The birthday celebration. Our waitress asked if we were celebrating anything, and I casually mentioned a birthday at the end of the month. She smiled and said, "Leave the rest to me." I had no idea what was coming... Suddenly, the entire bar lit up? iterally. Flames shot up like a volcano erupting, the staff came out with fire, bubbles, and this incredible energy. It felt like a full-on performance. Then came a rich chocolate cake soaked in liqueur that was just as dramatic as it was delicious. It wasn't just dinner, it was an experience. If you're looking for amazing food, creative drinks, and unforgettable celebrations, this place delivers on all of it. We'll definately be back.

    After a quick morning flight to Ogden, UT to visit our besties, we found ourselves hungry and…read morecraving some Mexican. A quick Yelp search lead us to No Manches Way. THE LOCATION: This is where things got a little tricky. Street parking for No Manches Way is basically nonexistent. There is a small lot in the back through a narrow alley alongside the building. THE ATMOSPHERE: Eh... Awkward is a good way to sum it up. There's a tv with a DJ, in what looks like his parents basement, blasting club music. It was much louder than it needed to be for any restraint. Especially during the day. Aside from that, there were some neat murals on the walls and a variety of seating. THE EATS: Having caught wind of the birria craze back in Colorado, I was excited to see that they offered this here! Yay! So I eagerly ordered up a quesa birria (which is essentially a cheese quesadilla with a dipping au jus). My husband chose to nosh on a massive asada burrito, and our friend chose the street tacos. The meals definitely satisfied the craving and filled our tummies. THE DRINKS: Since they're across the street from a church and located in Utah, you will not find beer or liquor here. They do feature Mexican Coca Cola, Parrot juice drinks, among other things. I opted for a Pink Guava juice drink. It definitely paired perfectly with my meal. THE SERVICE: There's no table service here. You place your order at a counter in the back of the restaurant and receive a tray with your food when it's ready. Being the first time I've had birria, I was a little disappointed that how to season the broth was not explained more to me. It came with a plethora of cilantro and onion that I was unsure of how to use. Oh well. No Manches Way was A-OK in my book. I wouldn't be opposed to stopping by again next time we're in town and checking out more of the menu.
