I found it! I have been looking for a San Diego style Mexican restaurant since moving to Portland several years ago and I have finally found it. The carne asada burrito did not come with rice and beans, as is popular here in Portland, but strictly steak, pico de gallo, and guacamole. Delicious! Also tried the beans, which were delicious, and the al pastor tacos, which were seasoned perfectly. Burritos top out at $4 and tacos at $2, a very good price for what you get. Portion sizes are above average, though not excessive. Restaurant was clean and well kept for a taco shop and the staff was friendly. Definitely looking forward to my next visit. read more

I have been going to Don's for months now...and am proud to say I eat here 2-3 times a week...ha! My favorite meal is the 6 rolled chicken tacos (taquitos!) with guac and cheese on the top. I also love their corn/street tacos. I always go with chicken. Love their horchata too! read more

Everytime I want to feel a little closer to home (San Diego) I'll come to this place. I also really love that they don't use tin foil to wrap their burritos! read more

Ordered and paid for a supreme quesadilla with added steak. Got a plain cheese quesadilla with steak... that's fine, I like paying for things I don't get. Especially when I don't have time to go back. read more

Great food and authentic with a twist. New person made no eye contact and was super awkward.. Other than that foods always good. read more

I legitimately eat here 2-3 times every week. My SO and I get 2 burritos and 4 potato tacos for $12 and we go into taco comas every time. The service is ooooookay, but the rewards card kinda makes up for it (make sure to ask for one! They won't give you one otherwise) Personally, I like the breakfast burritos at Rico Taco more, but the $1 potato tacos make this place worth the trip! read more

I came here lurking for a new 'defacto' mexican fast food joint and found this place after two other places closer to my house were closed (temporary power outage) I ordered the chicken burrito, shrimp burrito and chicken nachos. I wished I ordered a steak burrito to try it out as well. pros: Food tastes great, Their chunky salsa is excellent, their prices are reasonable for the most part. The chips were nice and thick which gave a great crunch while eating and had great coverage. The other hot sauces were flavored well and definitely had a nice kick too. cons: there is no 'super burrito' which meant I had to modify my orders to the tune of 2-3 dollars per item to deck out the burritos the way I like them (with cheese, pico de gallo, cilantro, avocado or guacamole, and had to add some things to some and other things to other burritos to get what I wanted) that chunky salsa I mentioned above was only available 'to-go' upon request, meaning I had to get a plastic ramekin and lid for it - I wanted more of them, but figured I would give their other sauces which were already prepackaged a good try as well. (they have 3 other more thinner hot sauces). Needless to say, I got home and wished I got more of that chunky salsa (that was my fault for not speaking up), they should have the chunky one also prepackaged too! Biggest faux pas: my shrimp burrito felt skimpy on the shrimp as it had all of the meat pushed over towards one side of the burrito (and don't get me wrong, that side tasted great! BUT) the other side was devoid of shrimp. I know that was a bit of a wall of text for a restaurant that gave me 4/5 stars, but I would have probably ranked it at a full 5/5 if those things I mentioned were better. I'll probably come back at some point later to give an updated review on other items ordered. read more

Love this place! Always a to-go place for tasty tacos. Haven't eaten one that I haven't liked. The staff is friendly and always greets you with a smile as well. They deserve the 5 stars! read more

The ground beef tacos are just simply perfect....homemade crispy shells of course. Just LOVE the specials...please don't ever take them away! In fact..I suggest adding a six dollar special with a few more extras :) three taco Supremes and a pop for example. One note would be to keep the dining room cleaner. I know you all are super busy but the customers deserve a clean dining room at all times. Maybe someone has a grandma that wants to do odd jobs and dining room patrol LOL. In know my grandma would love doing that***! ***(That is a classic example of identifying a problem and providing a possible solution...instead of always whining about something...offer ways to make it better...even if your solution is not the ultimate answer, hopefully it gets the wheels turning on what is.) read more

I have been wanting to try Chuy's, and after reading rave yelpers reviews I was compelled. Huge menu with combo plates, burritos, tacos, taquetos, Enchiladas, quesadillas, tostadas, tortas, sopes, chimichangas, breakfast burritos and plates, etc. Ala cart these items range from $2.00 to $4.00! (not a misprint) Excellent salsa bar with home made habanero hot, roasted pepper hot, medium, mild (green), and avocado sauce with tiny bits of jalapeno. Also at the salsa bar there is the pickled carrots, onion, jalapeno appetizers plus raw radish and cucumber. All gratis I had the carnitas plate. It was a little different than I was used to, but still good. Typically the pork is cut into cubes or shreds, then fried in lard. Here it was shreds, flattened and grilled. You get a generous portion of meat, 4 warm and soft flour or corn tortillas, pico de gallo, lettuce, guacamole, refried beans (pinto or black) and rice. The beans are excellent. (of course they are, they're cooked with lard). Traditional and tasty yes, healthy no. It was $6.70 I washed it down with a Mexican Coke (cane sugar, not high fructose corn syrup). They also have horchata, pineapple, and other fruit drinks that go well with Mexican food. The only very small con is that the food cools faster on the Styrofoam plates than it would on oven heated, but that keeps Chuy from charging you a couple more bucks a plate. Overall a very friendly family ran, clean, inexpensive gem of a restaurant. Do yourself a favor and try Chuy's. It will be your new destination in the Gresham area for very good Mexican food. read more

The food and price was great. A family of 6 can eat for less than $40 is a steal. Carnitas and Taco Salad had great taste. The other reviews were dead one. Good customer service. I recommend this place. read more

I am in the area for work. Used Yelp to find this place. Super delicious food and super friendly staff. I will definitely come back here!

Get the carnitas. Just do it. Critique: The sauces were mediocre. If this place had the verde from La Herradura, it would be unstoppable. The prices more than make up for the lack in flavorful sauces. read more

Horrible...food was cold, when mentioned they basically shrugged their shoulders... Never Again read more

Quick review: Really good food with large portions. Inexpensive and quick. Clean. Please don't eat here so that the line will be shorter for me on my frequent visits! read more

We have been eating here since 2010 and have not one time been disappointed in the food. We missed them for a year when the old chain closed and the current owner worked to buy and open the new restaurant Chuy's. The food is plentiful and tasteful not to mention always the freshest in town. Having been raised in El Paso and San Diego I know Mexican food and this is the real deal. The staff is like family always waiting for you with a smile. They don't even mind this old blind guy taking forever trying to decide which treat to have for the day. If in Gresham and hungry this should be your first choice. You'll never be disappointed. read more

Love this place. Always solid and you can beat the prices! Margaritas would make it even better.... We love the carne asada tacos! Carnitas is also good (but can be dry sometimes). read more

I was in Gresham today so I "instinctively" searched on my Yelp app for tacos in Gresham. All right, it listed Chuy's Taco Shop as #1, and I was immediately on my way there. It's located at the Gresham Town Fair Shopping Center, so it was really easy to find. Chuy's is very clean and tidy, and has good prices ($2.00 tacos). I got two tacos: al pastor and carne asada. They were pretty big, with a generous amount of meat in them, and the ingredients looked good. Personally, I think maybe the al pastor could have used a bit more seasoning while marinating because it didn't seem to have much of the al pastor-like smokey spiciness that distinguishes al pastor. Still, it tasted OK, and Chuy's has free wifi too. . .so, for "good sized" $2.00 tacos, I have no complaints. read more

Carne asada fries and the burrito are my go to! Even when busy, food is made pretty fast. Love it here!

Love it all still. Recently had them feed the swim team. A ton of rolled tacos and fixings all packed up nice and ready right when I got there! Heading over right now in fact! read more

The tacos are fine. Comparable to a taco cart, although I think maybe leaning more towards fast food relative to a taco cart. Inside decoration is sparse and things aren't that clean, although the prices are fairly low so one is not expecting fine dining. read more

Finally got around to trying this New Mexican restaurant close to my house. Saw that it opened awhile ago just forgot to try it. But i finally remembered today. I went in and was instantly greeted by a young girl who helped me decide what to get. She got my order right away and even gave me a stamp card for a free burrito after ten purchases. Awesome! It only took about 5 minutes maybe not even that long to get my order. I saw the cook in the back drop my fresh tortilla in the fryer as soon as she got my order. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I got a beef taco and a chicken enchilada. YUM! The place seems new which I know it is so I don't mind that vibe. The food was awesome! I'll be back for sure! read more

I wasn't expecting a five-star restaurant by any means when I came to Chuys . But I'm here to tell you that as my first experience which seems like a pretty average experience from what I saw this place is actually a pretty solid four star dine in or take out place. Chuys is very family oriented as you can tell by all the babysitting going on, probably most people that work there are related. I will be back. I've tried many things on the menu and would like to try more. I've been to the other Mexican places in Gresham and believe me this place is worth a try in comparison to a lot of the " Mexican" restaurants in town. read more

This little taco shop is as good as it gets. Their Chuy's special breakfast burrito is great. The al pastor burrito is good, but it had a little too much onion for my taste but the chicken had awesome flavor. The prices at this shop are insane. The are great for someone on a budget. The amount of awesome food for the price can not be beat. I would highly recommend this place for great food, prices and value. read more

I come here so often I think they might know me now. However they can't ever guess my order because I love to try everything and I've yet to be disappointed. Chile verde: amazing. Carnitas: omnomnom. Lengua: fugheddaboutit. Breakfast burritos: asombroso. Churros: yes please! So much good stuff! And the prices! So. Cheap. There's always cute little kids running around in there (belonging to employees) and they usually have sports on the TVs (or soap operas). The staff is super friendly. I only wish they would get a little better with their cooking timing. Sometimes we get our meal staggered so either someone is waiting or something is kinda cold. It's worth waiting for and still delicious cold so I don't really ever get bent out of shape there. They do stamp cards and I have one filled already...case closed. read more

This is my new favorite spot. Seriously amazing food, huge portions and fantastic prices. I ordered the Flying Saucer which was delicious. Get one! The young lady behind the counter was extremely nice and very helpful. We will be returning soon!! read more

Love love love this little place .I grew up lucky enough to get homemade Mexican food all the time. The past few years I've found some ok Mexican places but now here a chuys I've found everything I could want. Amazing beans, best tacos. The most crisp shells. Hands down best food without have to spends hours cooking!!! read more

I really don't get it. We went to this place for dinner since we were in the area and they consistently get good ratings here (over 170 reviews with a 4 star average at the time I'm writing this). We walked up, looked at the menu for literally a minute and went to the counter to order. In that short time span, the girls behind the counter started to have a conversation and completely ignored us waiting to order. My girlfriend ordered a shredded chicken quesadilla and I ordered a beef burrito without lettuce. My burrito was...beef? I mean, sure I guess it could be beef, but it didn't look like beef or taste like beef. It was such a low quality meat that it was worse than ground chuck. There were also random bits of onion, tomato, and what may or may have also been beef in my burrito (none of which it was supposed to have). I managed to eat 3/4 of the burrito since I was hungry, but this was absolutely disgusting in every sense of the word. I get that people want a cheap place to eat, but Taco Bell serves better Mexican food than whatever this was. The habanero sauce/salsa was a weird creamsicle color and was the consistency of a oily water. For my girlfriend's quesadilla, it arrived wet. Like the chicken has been sitting in its own juices for awhile and was scooped into what vaguely resembled a quesadilla. There's an amazing Mexican place not far away in Wood Village. Pay the extra money and go the extra distance there instead. I've never felt physically sick immediately after finishing my meal at a restaurant until now. read more

I had the chicken sopes and chicken chimichanga both were excellent. There was plenty on the plate and tasty. We had the medium hot sauce and it's just right. Love the Mexican fountain drinks yummy! read more

Thanks for all the past reviews for leading me here! Craving SoCal style Mexican food and finally found it. Better carnitas than I've ever had. Super service -- ya even get a tattoo with your order :) I'll be back tomorrow!!! 4 stars because I haven't tried anything other than carnitas, and it's tricky to find/get to ... I would like to have a franchise at the end of my driveway ;) read more

Stopped in to grab some lunch to go today. Ordered the Carne asada fires and two carnita tacos. Sooooo goood!!!! I didn't realize how huge the fries would be, easily can split between 2-3 people. The tacos were also very good and flavorful. Didn't have to wait long and have plenty left overs for later. Definitely will be coming back!!! read more

Eh don't tell an original while you have a mouthful of food that you can't take their order after having them hold because you can't properly take a break thanks for the great experience but I won't be coming back here again such incompetent cashiers you have best select them by hand.

Best taco salads, took away one star because the prices keep going up. Pretty soon they will be the same price as a more of a sit down place which sucks, and will more than likely lose my service if the prices keep going up. read more

Yum! while not everything is equally good, most selections we have tried are really tasty. I'd love to see a more smoky enchilada sauce, some fresh jalapeño. and a little more cumin in general, but you can't beat the value and the selection. Don't expect ambience for $5. read more

This is my favorite spot to get a quick and delish dinner! I love there carne asada nachos they are the best!

This place has a nice atmosphere, it is in a old location with plenty of parking places. The food is great, and somewhat fast to get to you. Overall the reason I am rating this a 3 Star is mainly due to the rushed service I receive each time I come here. It is a popular restaurant and is usually packed, especially around the lunch hours. Calling ahead would help if you consider this place. read more

A super great place to go out to eat, there food is always great, and you can't beat there prices. They have one of the best horchata around!! read more
