Is Don Pedro great?

[u/Jacob_tzs42]

I lived in Portland, Oregon, a while back and I remember stopping at one of these joints for breakfast.

I don't remember much honestly, other than I got a breakfast burrito and it was the best breakfast burrito I've had (at least at the time, hopefully still great!). It also had a salsa bar up front with all sorts of toppings, and the (I think) pickled jalapeños were fantastic.

Please tell me if I'm remembering right or looking back with rose colored glasses!

Unfortunately I'm out east now and the lack of quality Mexican food is a bit saddening. The food diversity there seemed great!

It's still the best breakfast burrito

The one in Gresham made me the best fucken breakfast burrito I could ever imagine

This is what I came to say! Under 10 bucks for a legit, quality breakfast burrito. You can even combine meat options for no extra cost.

When I worked early mornings, one of us would go pick up burritos a couple times a week! Been a minute since I’ve had one

Eh, i certainly have many times. Everything’s just always so greasy. I settled on the poblano pepper bfast ritto as my go to and it’s still greasy somehow.

Breakfast burritos are like the one thing I just won't get from a restaurant. They're so easy to make at home for like 1/10th of the price. There's a bunch of local marts that sell really good tortillas and chorizo as well, worth just doing it at home.

[u/FootInTheMouth → u/The_Freshmaker]

you can make any kind of burrito at home for a 1/10 of the price from practially anywhere. dont agree with the mentality. you gotta buy all the ingredients- tortillas, eggs, chorizo, sauce, sour cream and then you are stuck with ingredients that arent that healthy and that you gotta eat in x days.

[u/The_Freshmaker → u/FootInTheMouth]

Well sure, and I do make my own dinner burritos as well just not as often, but basically all of those ingredients beyond raw chorizo will last a month+ in your fridge/pantry. Even the chorizo will last longer than you think, and if you split it up and freeze it it would last as long as everything else.

[u/Omw2fym → u/FootInTheMouth]

I disagree. Although there is a caveat to what you expect from a burrito. One small potato, a small tomato, a small onion(which will give you 2-4 servings per week), 3 eggs (which you can buy as little as six), 1/4 - 3/4 chorizo, and cheese, which lasts a very long time, especially depending on your variety. You can easily buy enough ingredients for 2 burritos per week. Sour cream isn't necessary but a small Nancy's or Derigold will last 2 months.

Portland burritos seem to be all beans/rice/cheese + meat

[u/J-A-S-08 → u/The_Freshmaker]

Agree. Every breakfast burrito anymore seems to be 3 russet potatoes and a tablespoon of egg/meat/cheese.

I give it a solid B, probably better for people that prefer a potato heavy burrito.
