Taco Rico — Restaurant in Marriott-Slaterville

Having read great reviews, I was excited to try their food. The first time I visited, they were out of the carne asada tacos the reviews raved about, so I got a different meat taco based on the (owner’s?) suggestion. There was hardly any meat and they were bland. Thinking it may have been a single miss, I went again. No answer at the drive through, drove to the window and still no help, went inside, waited, and eventually hollered to the man in the kitchen (wondering if they may have closed 3 hours early?) The cook knocked on the bathroom door and apologized multiple times. Okay, somewhat understandable since there was no one else aside from the woman in the bathroom to take care of the front. (There was another woman making salsa in the kitchen). I placed a simple order, asking for shredded lettuce on my enchiladas and confirmed two red salsas. When I got home to eat, the enchiladas had a hair in it (which of course we did not eat), we got one red and one green salsa (vs 2 red), and there was no lettuce as requested. The carne asada did not have much taste and I found bone in the meat. The refried beans were so dry they had a crust on them and were inedible. The atmosphere of the restaurant looked nice but the loud music would have prevented me from dining in. Needless to say, I will not be returning and I do...

Not 5-Star Tacos

I don’t usually leave reviews unless something really stands out—good or bad. This place looked like a 5-star spot, so as a taco lover (and someone born in Mexico City), I had to try it.

Sadly, the tacos didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered 5 (asada, al pastor, and lengua), and the meat was pale, bland, and had a weird shredded texture—like it was boiled or prepackaged, not grilled fresh. My wife had a carne asada taco and a quesadilla, and hers was just okay too. We had to load on salsa, salt, and lime to give it any real flavor.

On the bright side, the salsas were good, the flavored water was refreshing, and the place was clean with great music and friendly service. That’s why I’m giving it 2 stars—not for the food, but for everything else.

If you're after authentic, flavorful tacos—this probably...

Hiden gem. Worth finding. The reviews are real and they for sure have real cooks.

Met the owner and she is serious about quality ingredients and cooks. The mild salsa is the best in town.

I want to gate keep this one as the other day the line was out the door. Secret is getting out and that is good so they have a successful new business.

Truly supporting a real local business as the family has been in Ogden for decades.

Our new favorite place and they have breakfast...
