Was just here for dinner. I've been eating Portillo's for decades. Food was actually very good. My only complaint is they changed the pickles on the hot dog. like a garlic dill. Change the whole taste of the dog.

Avoid this location. Dining room was uncomfortably cold. I brought this simple concern to a supervisor's attention, and he advised that Portillo's Corporate Office has complete control over all heating/cooling at this location, and dining room temperature cannot be adjusted by any staff member. I reached out to Portillo's Corporate Guest Experience Coordinator, and their response was: "I am not certain who manages the temperature settings or what the set range is..."

my husband clearly ordered the breaded chicken sandwich because we love it so much normally - we got a hamburger instead -
this is the second time this has happened through the drive-through at your Glendale office in Phoenix / I spoke with the manager he gave me his first name only JAELIN and he said he can't do anything even though we told him we had just been there -
$18.58 & 38 minutes ago on his Credit card& my husband had the windows open and the ticket must've flown out the window or she didn't include it - very disappointed in your customer service the first time we got an extra charge for extra breaded chicken on a salad and it came with grilled chicken that was dry. I had to throw it out.
I won't be going through the drive-through anymore I don't even know if I'll eat there anymore.

I ordered from this location through a third party delivery app and the driver took my food. It happens and while not ideal most restaurants will simply remake the order. NOT THIS RESTAURANT! They told 4-5 others drivers that it’s already been picked up and “not our problem.” My order wasn’t large so it would have been a minimal cost to remake to ensure good customer service. Instead they chose to die n the sword of “already picked up” and thus have now list a customer. That’s next level stupid!
