They are also heavy on seafood so there are plenty of choices available. The lunch menu is just a shorter version of the dinner menu. There is a full bar with specialty cocktails. I ordered up sparking water to was down the guacamole and salsa with freshly cooked tortilla chips. M ordered up a mango margarita, it had a full rim of salt and spices, looks good. My Linner was a baja taco, one shrimp, one fish, M ordered the shrimp and cheese taco. I had to ask that the shrimp in our tacos would be shell off, our server confirmed, shell less. I asked because most of the photos on the menu show the shrimp with head, without head but all with shell on...I prefer not to fuss with peeling the just cooked hot shrimp. The guac was really fresh and good, the chips a bit over cooked. Then the drinks arrived and the entree's followed shortly there after Plain and simple three various taco's with some tasty refried & whole beans with your standard orange Spanish rice....hum. I guess it's a toss up on the rice, a unique almost Spanish rice with a flavor twist or the comfortable, household, everyday orange Spanish rice that won't scare anyone away. The taco's were great, fat with plenty of the larger shrimp (with no shell) cabbage and other stuff to fill the tortilla. We all enjoyed our meal and I would certainly entertain a return visit if we lived closer. By all means it's a great place to try what you like and maybe add something you wouldn't normally order to enjoy something new. Great Service! Thank you, Martin-foodguy

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 !

Great price and authentic food doesn't get better than this. Tamale Factory is conveniently located in downtown Gresham. I was so impressed with the pork tamales, I had to try the chicken, beef, jalapeño & cheese and the bean & cheese tamales as well. The next one I plan on trying is the spinach & mushroom tamale. Each one was packed with incredible flavor, the secret must be the corn flour used to wrap each tamale. On top of everything else, the service was quick, friendly and attentive. Tamale Factory is my "go to" place when I want great tasting affordable food on the run. They are only 2 blocks from my office and I plan on going there again and again. read more

This restaurant offers standard yet expanded Mexican fair like tacos, flautas, tortas, burritos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, empanadas, and more.

There is parking behind the building. My $10 veggie burrito was alright. I enjoyed the red and green hot sauces provided. I wish them the best of luck!

I asked about pickled jalapenos, carrots and onions because that is usually how I know if I will like a place and they said they make them but they ran out yesterday. So I will have to come back and see if they have them next time. Maybe it's an LA thing but all good the good Mexican spots always have that and it's my own personal barometer of if I will continue to go back. But the food was good.
