    Very disappointed in staff somewhat, they seem a bit out of it, and most of them. To their credit it was shortly after open.i am always happy to be at portillos for the beef.

    Worst Portillos in the area. Manager couldn't care less how dirty the dining room was and out of ketchup and ketchup cups. I expected better from somebody supposedly in charge of maintaining the restaurant.

    Thoroughly Disgusted. Food prep person came from the food line to stand in the door way off the kitchen to pet a play with a customer's dogs...went right back to the food line...same gloves, no hand wash. When did Portillos start allowing dogs? Is this a Algonquin thing?
