What I found (see photo) was a mash of potatoes, refried beans & cheese; as i moved some of the contents around, i did notice some very small cubes of ham. But, Not one bit of bacon or actual sausage did i find ? It was pretty disappointing. I expected to get some real bacon pieces, and real sausage in there .. am i wrong to expect that ? The price wasn't exorbitant, so i guess theres that. I will say the service was great , ambience was fine , so I don't want to be super critical of the place in general.. and, Im not saying don't ever eat @ Gresham Burrito House by any stretch... just maybe avoid their breakfast burritos :) Have a nice day !

I came with my husband for a weeknight date. The place was two thirds full which made for a nice, relaxed atmosphere. I appreciated the colorful walls. The chips and salsa were delicious. I ordered a chicken enchilada. The portion size was generous and the food was well seasoned. My husband was pleased with his steak tacos. Overall, it was very workmanlike Mexican food- substantial and affordable. It felt comfortable and was a nice comfot-food casual meal. read more

On my last visit, service was lackluster and indifferent; the server rushed our party away from our table immediately after we finished eating, interrupting us mid-conversation, and indicated that she needed to seat another party that was waiting. Food, especially the rice and refried beans, were cold. A sad disappointment after a much more positive earlier visit. read more
