Don Pedro Restaurant

You know the food is great we always stop in at night after a long day of work and don't want to cook but I'm going to start looking for a new place every time we come to this one no matter what they act like they can't hear us we have to repeat our order five times and the woman who is taking the order is rude and laugh when they hear we are getting frustrated because we have to keep repeating our order over and over how hard is it to hear number 15 pollo asada and chilaquiles with steak we even try and say it in Spanish and nope we can hear them very well when they keep saying this or that and we say no pollo asada number 15 but Tonight was the last time we will be coming especially how rude they were tonight. On 9/5 it is not worth it to us anymore especially when we spend 30 to 40 dollars. And to make it even more frustrating we get our food home and I'm eating my chilaquiles and my eggs have shells on my eggs that are fried hard I've literally bit in to eggshells now I can't or I won't eat my food. This is our last time now.

Love me some Don P's. I work near this location and visit often. Great food and service.

So basically everyone in there was nice and greeted us with respect. But when we got to the food… Let me tell you it was really disgusting, I’ve tried the same food in different don pedros but for some reason it wasn’t good here. Me and my mom felt disgusted from how bad the meat and the chicken was. In the torta she ordered they added too much meat and barely any veggies. And on my chicken salad everything was bad about it. If you want to come here go ahead but it’s a no for us. I don’t think I’d come again…

I've been coming here at least twice a week for over a year, specifically for Carne asada fries. I've ordered them 100 times with no special requests. It comes with fries, asada, Pico, sour cream, guacamole and jalapeños. I ordered tonight and received fries and asada smothered in nacho cheese sauce. No other toppings(didnt even know they had nacho cheese). I took it back thinking I got the wrong order and was told no, that's how the asada fries are prepared. I explained that I order them all the time, and that they never come this way, and explained what usually comes on them. They said I was wrong and they would not correct the order or refund my money. NEVER RETURNING TO ANY DON PEDRO!!

For the most part, the people are great here. However, I have had very bad service from 1 young lady twice. I didn't get what I paid for and so I came back to see if I could get it replaced. She spoke English to me and spanish to the manager. She said that I was lying. Apparently, she thought that I didn't speak Spanish or that I couldn't understand her. I'm truly disappointed. Outside of that experience, I have always had a pleasant and tasty visit!

I gave them a 4 star because tortillas were more in the cold side then hot, same with asada meat, but it was still good. The portion is very good too for the price.

I usually order the Carne Asada from other Don Pedro locations and have always enjoyed it, but unfortunately, this location was bad. The Carne Asada tasted old and was extremely chewy—so much so that it was nearly impossible to eat. The rice seemed like it had been sitting out for quite a while and lacked any freshness or flavor. The side salad was disappointing as well—no toppings at all, just plain lettuce—and the ranch was incredibly watery. Overall, it felt like very little care went into the preparation of the food at this location, which is disappointing given how good the food usually is elsewhere.

The white cheese on top of my wet carnitas burrito that I bought today was absolutely rancid. Completely spoiled. There was *no way* they didn't smell that before they served it. It was friggin putrid. Buyer beware!! The orange cheddar inside the breakfast burrito was fine. I won't eat here again for a long time, if ever.

My husband and I eat here WAY TO OFTEN. Our go to is breakfast burritos. Cheapest and largest burritos in town! I always get the vegetarian burrito with fajita and my husband gets the steak breakfast burrito. Basic, huge and just what you need after a long run or a night out on the town. I would recommend getting the orange habanero sauce. It's amazing! Very convenient location off 122nd and it's great to call ahead and have the food ready, super nice staff! The inside is lack luster but it's not about the seating, it's about the delicious food. 10/10, grab a burrito from here!

Food was served quickly but not very hot. Efficient counter service. Meals are called out when ready and you pick up your own order, utensils, napkins, etc. It's a quick service restaurant. They have over 50 items, including American style breakfasts. My chile relleno tasted very good, as well the rice and beans. I should have ordered a cheese enchilada instead if chicken. The chicken mix was a little dry. Across the parking lot is a strip club. Some people might care about that.

Ordered four deep fried ground beef tacos they tasted like cardboard! And way too expensive $15 with a drink I've been to the 82nd one before and ground beef. Deep-fried tacos are amazing! But at this location, they're horrible.

The all meat chicken burrito we got from the drive through was somehow saucey but dry bone, and speaking of bones, I bit into a half dozen 1/4" flat pieces of bone. Luckily I didn't damage my teeth or we might have had a law suit. No wonder this particular Don Pedro has such low ratings on Yelp. Seriously how do you screw up Mexican food amigo?

I usually order the Carne Asada from other Don Pedro locations and have always enjoyed it, but unfortunately, this location really missed the mark.

I have been coming to this Don Pedro since my birth and existence 23 years ago. My mom would take us here for fish tacos growing up. It's a core memory of mine. The food here is always amazing. I love chicken, steak, and pastor on tacos and burritos. Ceviche is very good. I have a soft spot for chicken quesadillas. I do not like guac or sour cream so I ask for it without and it's a bit expensive so I wish I could have rice and beans instead. I also love their horchata. The breakfast burritos are a hit too. The staff are nice and very fast. When I don't understand something they kindly explain. The drive through is usually pretty fast although there isn't a great spot to park and eat after the drive through since it takes you right to the road. You could risk your life and drive on the wrong side of the road to get back to the parking lot but that is not something I would do. The location is in an interesting part of town so it's not the nicest.

I go to the Camas Don Pedro often. I got the chilaquiles with steak and it was good. The service was fine, but not as cheerful as some of their other locations. It's the best of the PDX Mexican food chains. Check it out.

Friendly service but for the love of god why is there always a single green bean in my burrito, are you using frozen veggies as filler??? No green beans please!

I really love their breakfast menu. The pancakes and French toast tasted delicious. Their fries are well seasoned. I really enjoyed my experience being served at a reasonable time. It does get busy, but the food is worth it. The staff is friendly. I do see that they are clean.

As I predicted in my last review their tamales are delicious! That's what I will get next time as well! Definitley a big enough plate to share w your sweetie!

My third review. I USED to love this place but it is going down hill and fast. I got a breakfast burrito this morning and the potatoes are BURNED!!! Hey people, I do not eat burned food and you should not serve burned food. I am seriously going to start taking my food back inside to complain about it. Do NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. Go somewhere else.

The Don Pedro breakfast burrito has almost become a Sunday staple for me and my boyfriend. I sleep in while he makes the coffee and goes on the Don Pedro run. I like their burritos because they aren't so overwhelming huge you don't know where to start and they aren't so small they leave you wanting more. Usually I can only eat half. Also they aren't very expensive. 3 votes for my boyfriend, he's useful, funny and cool for so many reasons including bringing me breakfast burritos. 2021 - Review # 29

My mother in law was in town and wanted to pick up some Mexican for lunch, so we stopped at Don Pedro's. My wife got some al pastor tacos, and I got a steak burrito. Tacos were pretty dry, and even their house habanero sauce didn't help make them more of a 2/5. The burrito was hefty, and seemed to have random vegetables tossed in intermittently with the beans, rice, and steak. I found one random hunk of carrot inside... carrot? Weird. Overall, the food had very little flavor going on other than a general greasiness. Speaking of grease, the bag carrying our takeout had about half an inch of standing grease at the bottom (which is also where they put the napkins). A couple hours after eating here, I started to feel kinda ew. Not sick, but just icky. Was it the food? I can't say for sure, but I hadn't had anything else that day other than water, so...

I am by far not an expert but I know what I like and I love their breakfast burritos. They make a solid meal and they offer a generous variety of salsas. If you catch them on a good day they even have sautéd onions, scallions and jalapeños in the crock pot. They do a stellar drive through business and I have used it, but prefer to eat there and partake in all the extras. Staff are bilingual but Spanish is the predominant language spoken with customers. They can get really busy and orders can take a little longer but it's worth the wait!

Excellent breakfast burritos. Not badly priced and they have it ready relatively quickly.

Food here is always so yummy! We eat here often! Their carne asada burrito is amazing! Meat is not dry like some other places. The whole family enjoys eating their food!

Got a breakfast sandwich. It was pretty solid and a good deal. The salsa bar helped add a lot of flavor. I do wish I had known they out mayo in it, as I don't really like mayo. Overall, decent spot for a breakfast sandwich.

Pros: *The breakfast burritos are really good! *Salsa is good but not the best. Cons: *Very expensive for what you get. * They take a long time to make food so know this before ordering in the drive thru as you will be there for awhile

Don Pedro on SE 122nd and Stark was so bad that it made me write a Yelp review for the first time in three years to keep people away from it. Not only did they screw up my order, but the burrito contained CHUNKS OF FROZEN VEGETABLES. I ordered a burrito al pastor from their drive-through and specified "no lettuce." When the person on the intercom asked if I wanted anything else, I asked if they had salsa de aguacate, which I'd had at another Don Pedro restaurant just a few miles away and loved. They did not recognize what I was asking about, so I didn't press the issue--I know that not all Don Pedros have that one. At the drive-through window, an employee asked me if I wanted salsa, and I said yes, and received one red and one green. Nothing at all unusual. When I got home and bit into my burrito, I was disappointed at how bland and dry it was. I found no beans, no cheese, no sour cream, barely any onions, and what little meat it contained was almost tasteless. Salsas only made it a bit better--the green was serviceable, but the red was bad--more like a spicy, watery ketchup than a proper salsa roja. As I continued eating, thinking that maybe they just didn't mix the ingredients within the burrito, I was disturbed to find random bits of mixed vegetables--the kind you get frozen in a bag. A carrot here, a pea there, a kernel of corn further in, and so on. I'm surprised I didn't find the obligatory lima beans and chopped green beans. Contaminating a burrito with this detritus from school cafeterias and TV dinners is a revolting insult to Mexican AND American cuisine. It was so bad that I couldn't even finish it, so I threw it away and looked at my receipt. Upon inspection, I noticed that they also botched my order. No wonder it was bland--the receipt said "no salsa." I don't understand how they could make this mistake. I asked for salsa on the intercom. I said yes to salsa at the drive-through. I suspect whoever keyed this in also told the cooks not to put anything else with flavor on it. I don't normally complain about service or mistakes. They happen sometimes and I'm not a high-maintenance customer. But making such a drastic assumption about an order and not asking to confirm or clarify is an unacceptable error. And for that matter, frozen mixed vegetables DO NOT BELONG in a burrito! Oh, another thing that might cause you problems--they don't list their prices legibly on the drive-through menu. Buyer beware. There is no excuse to eat here and subject yourself to this trash. There is plenty of great Mexican food in Portland, especially in East County. For example, La Tia Juana, El Cazador, Tortilleria y Tienda De Leon, and the tamale/esquite kiosk outside of La Tapatia, to name just a few delicious examples. For that matter, the Don Pedro on SE 190th and Stark is pretty good (especially their breakfast burritos and their salsa de aguacate). Let me reiterate. DO NOT EAT HERE. They're incompetent enough to screw up your order and wretched enough to put random frozen vegetables in a burrito.

Literally I stood there and watched the "cooks" put fridge food in the Styrofoam! Boxes! And heat up not just my food but everyone else's meals in the microwave! Totally not cool and not safe! I politely asked for my money back but I did buy the drinks cause thats about the only thing they did right. Be aware of how your food is being made and cooked.....guess it is true what they say in Spanish, " el que no tranza, no avansa" so sad....

Wow.. this place is fucking price gouging!!!! 8.75 for a cheese quesadilla that's fucking outrageous. The menu says 3.75 but no they throw 5.00 dollars on because of a pandemic. Same with the tacos, menu says 1.30, sign in drive thru says 1.75, charged 2.50. This place has mediocre food at best and being a once loyal customer, I will no longer be frequenting this chain of restaurants anymore. Good job you lost a customer to your greed.

LOVE their breakfast burritos!!! And now you can get them all day YEAY!!! Everything else on their menu is great.

This is one of the worst Don's out here. The quality is horrible and it has been known to find cock roaches in the food. Do not eat here. Shut them down.

Same great tacos and burritos during Covid-19 lockdown. Tacos are now $1.50 and combo burrito $5.99, but still great deals and great food. Drive through is fairly fast, too.

4 stars for consistent, well prepared Breakfast burritos for 3.99 ! Choice of bacon, sausage, chorizo or my favorite just eggs, potatoes (hash browns) with a slight char on them and cheese. I've ordered over 25 burritos ( for work event) and it's only a 15 min wait. They also are open way early too. 6am (that's early for Oregonians) I also think they make a pretty tasty enchilada. This location has a drive through ! What they do, they do well.

Best breakfast burritos in town! Every Don Pedro location is awesome! Friendly staff, clean restaurants, and great prices!

They don't use gloves while handling food and they are rude to customers and bathroom are a mess

The best place for a late night snack! Always come here when we have the munchies and only order the tacos. Tacos are relatively cheap. I always get pork or steak. Don't get sour cream as it really racks up the price - just make sure you have some at home. Comes with pickled veggies and red and green sauce. I will never get tired of their tacos. Can't beat it !

They keep fairly clean, the burritos are good but I'm not much a fan of the others, especially the carne Asada fries. With nacho cheese. Eww. My girlfriend used to love it so usually when I went it was for her, or when the taco stand around the corner was closed on Sunday.

My Darling Husband and I ate lunch here earlier. I ordered the Sopes (I ordered two Pollo - that's chicken). My Husband ordered the Taco plate. He ordered Carne Asada- there were also refried beans and seasoned rice on his plate. I asked for two glasses of H2O. The wait was brief. The Sopes were tasty. My Husband liked his lunch plate. I went back to ask for a box for my leftovers. There weren't any other people ordering when I arrived that were inside. The television was on a Spanish language station. I think the News was on. There were a few other people who ordered after I sat at one of the booths. The Salsa station wasn't out because it's a Pandemic. The Don Pedro restaurant was clean. The Clerk who took the orders was able to speak English so my Husband ordered his lunch in English. In the refrigerator on the counter to the side were smaller containers of Flan, Jumex cans (it's fruit juices), and bottles of Jarritos sodas. We will be back.

I went there on my lunch break to order a simple lunch; Two chicken tacos with onion and cilantro only, and a side of rice ... What I got was a mess that I will never forget I got beef with cheese and lettuce. Yuck. My rice was half covered in smashed beans that I didn't order. There was coleslaw everywhere I called and was told the manager wasn't in. The workers didn't give me a receipt I call several times over the next few days being told the manager wasn't in I finally go there early before work four days after being given the run-a-round The manager still isn't in because she's sick. But I was told if I called they would help me. I told them to check the names of all the callers. They don't do that. I pulled up the times I've called on my phone. I was told to leave.

Kearny Carne asada tacos with a big ass onion pit in the middle of it all when I go there all the time and I asked for no onions and it never looks like this. Like the pit of the onion should be thrown out. I go back to get my food remade and I get attitude from the workers and they roll their eyes at me and slam the door in the middle of me talking to them then someone else brought me back different tacos and I asked her if I can speak to the manager because I didn't like how they were treating me and they said "no give me my tacos" then I said no I'm asking for a manager I'm going out of my way to come back and get my food remade I'm just asking from an extra taco for the ride back. I work in the food and this is not acceptable of where I work.

I haven't been to Don Pedro's in years so I paid a visit based on how good I remember them being and this visit erased that memory. My all meet chicken burrito was heavy with cilantro & too spicy to taste anything but heat. I also ordered several hard shell tacos & I wasn't expecting shells out of the box from a name like Don Pedro. And the carne asada was majorly dry. I went back for the memories of great food and only got memories. I recommend driving a little further to any other place.

I think I'm addicted to the carne asada torta. My first trip to Don Pedro's was 2 weeks ago. I've been back twice since. My first visit I got a boring pastor burrito. The pork was gristly and lacked flavor. I'm glad my Don P experience didn't end there. I decided to grab a torta to go so I would have something to eat later. Best decision ever. The asada was everything the pastor wasn't. It was juicy, lean and amazing. If you told me carne asada was Spanish for unicorn meat I would believe you. This stuff is too good to have come from some ordinary cow. With a torta, this perfect meat comes gently cradled in delightfully soft bread. The torta experience is made complete by generously applying the orange salsa found in the salsa bar. The salsa isn't too spicy and the flavor is the perfect complement to the sandwich.

For just "dropping in for a visit" with my daughter and son in law, the Must do on the weekend breakfast list was here!! (ps I am not really a breakfast person so I got the Relleno's) Yes it is set up as a "fast food" joint but the food is very good! Yes I would go back if in the area.

The WORST menudo I have ever had in my entire life. I grew up eating menudo but I didn't think a child could make it this bad let alone an adult?!?! I vomited after I took my first bite. It shouldn't be LEGAL for them to be open. I'm shocked to the fact that they still serve this to other people. DO NOT EAT HERE. You will immediately regret it. Unless you want food poisoning and a horrific taste in your mouth then stay away.

Just what I wanted from a taqueria - cheap, big portions, and a GREAT SALSA BAR. Being a short waddle from a Max station is a huge plus, too. It was worth the 50+ minute ride, and I will definitely be back. I'm on the fence about awarding a 5th star, and here's what it comes down to: my meal didn't include chips. I would have regretted eating them had I been given chips, but the gesture would have pushed Don Pedro into El Farolito territory. Maybe if the nuts and bolts (that is, rice and beans) on my plate had had more verve, I would have no brainspace to allocate to missing chips.

My favorite mexican place. It was once a wendys, but now home of the beef burito plate! Love this place

Customer service is never great but today was a pisser. I go through drive thru for lunch and order a burrito. Now their burritos are big, I get to the window and ask for 4 sauces and the veggie packet (I notice when your white they don't give the veggie packet) she says only 2 per order - extra sauces .25 each. Fine whatever, I'd never been charged before and .25 is ridiculous for sauce but its good sauce. They give me my order in a little paper bag. Driving back to work I peak in the bag - no veggies. I go to carry the little paper bag with my burrito in it to work and the bottom rips out because of the weight of the burrito and splat goes to my salsa :(

This is by far my worst visit to Don Pedro's. It wasn't busy at all and they were over staffed, with that said there should be no reason for having way over cooked/deep fried taquitos. The only thing I'll come back for is a breakfast burrito.

All the food here is good! I have had a couple of hit and miss customer service issues here but the food quality is consistent. The flavors are spot on and prices are very fair. They're the only place in town you can get ceviche for less than $15 and they don't add too many jalapeños. The tacos are great, my kids love the club sandwich with french fries, I love the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and my husband is a sucker for the chicken dinner. Should you choose to eat inside there are several items available like grilled peppers, onions and salsa for you to add to your plate at no cost. Don't be fooled by them having a drive-through, it does not make this fast food, expect a wait and double check your order before you take off.... I had a chicken dinner that was missing chicken and I didn't know until I got home. They did make it right though they give us a refund and a replacement dinner. It's a great local spot, good for kids, quick lunches and the grilled chicken salad is delicious.

I used to love Don Pedro so much. They recently raised the prices and started using powdered eggs in the breakfast burritos. I'm not sure if that's only something they do after a certain time. Nonetheless, it is really disappointing, not to mention an obvious change in taste. Come on, guys, eggs aren't even that expensive to begin with.

My daughter stopped by there last nite to pick up dinner for us. The sack ripped as the girl handed it to her but my daughter thought it would be ok, that is until she got home and walked in the door, the sack busted and the burrito fell out on the floor. Her dogs were right on that and there was nothing left of the burrito. She called the restaurant to see if she could get it replaced. It was a $20 order including the tip. She was told that they could not replace it unless she brought it in. She tried to explain why she couldn't do it but was told it was "policy". .She argued on the phone for about 5 minutes and I told her to take the whole order back . She left and took the order back. She called me after about 10 minutes and asked me to come down there because they were only going to give her 1/2 of her money back. She was very upset and mad because she couldn't believe one of her favorite restaurant was giving such bad service, The restaurant called the police, When I got there the officer was talking to my daughter and I backed her up saying all she wanted was to have the burrito replaced. Anyway this went on for about 20 minutes. I left because there was another officer there and the first officer went inside with an employee (manager?) It ended up that the employee called someone who had told her to give my daughter the money back. It is such a sad case that they were essentially calling my daughter a liar and putting her through the stress over a burrito that good customer service would have given the customer the item They had the receipt that showed her order and showed she had even left a tip ...thru drive thru. Better train your employees to match your food which is very good,

I've eaten at this Don Pedro on 122nd several times. While the food is decent it's primarily the convenance and location that keeps me coming back. Breakfast burrito is good. Burritos are decent. Pancakes are great! Decent food decent prices. Fast food made fast at good prices.

This is the second time I've got food poisoning from this location. Now my girlfriend and my 2 year old son are so sick they can't even leave the bedroom. Thanks for this horrible pain n my stomach, ruining the next four days of our lives and shitting on my food !!! P.s. I will be contacting the Public Health Service

Ordered a vegetarian burrito, and when I received it, there was meat in it. They made me a new burrito, but were not very apologetic about it. Otherwise the food tasted awful. If it's late, you're hungry, go ahead. But I don't feel it's worth it. I most likely won't be back.

They didn't even give me limes or radish with my tacos and burrito tacos were soggy and not to good I asked for no onions and they still gave them to me and there claw machines suck

Amazing bean burritos! Have to have one every week. The staff are always very nice & have great suggestions!

Ordered 2 breakfast burritos, asked for "some" salsa, and the lady only gave me one. Are you serious? One?!? So disappointed on so many different levels!
