  Portillo's food is always consistent and delicious. The atmosphere at all their joints is great. We Chicagoans love our Portillo's and we love to hate the perpetual sub-par customer service staff... Try the Como if you've never had one before. My go-to sandwich here is the Italian beef, wet with sweet and hot peppers, and mozzarella cheese. The one con - I am convinced that no matter what location we visit and no matter how hard I ask (plead) the staff to serve my beef with the mozzarella melted; they refuse to do it. I've attempt to pay them for a well done melted cheese beef to no avail. It's a bummer, I love their food but I want it served Rosati's style, toasted and melted and actually piping hot.

  **A Chicago Institution at Its Finest** The Portillo's on Addison Street never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by that classic Portillo's energy: bustling, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The staff here work like a well-oiled machine, moving quickly through lines while still making you feel taken care of. Of course, the Italian beef is phenomenal. I got mine dipped with hot peppers, and it was perfection: tender, juicy beef piled high on a perfectly steamed bun that somehow holds together despite being gloriously messy. The seasoning is spot-on, and that giardiniera adds just the right kick. But don't sleep on the other menu items! The Chicago-style hot dog is textbook perfect with all the fixings, and those crinkle-cut fries are addictive. I always save room for a chocolate cake shake, so rich, indulgent, and the perfect way to end the meal. The location is convenient with decent parking, and the dining room is kept clean despite the constant flow of customers. Whether you're a Chicago native or just visiting, this Portillo's delivers that authentic Chicago experience every single time. It's comfort food done right, and I keep coming back for more!

  I came for their famous hot dogs. The hot dog was burnt to a char along the entire outside. The fixings were excellent and the inside of the dog was great, but it was pretty disappointing to be served this.

  This is the worst Portillos in the city! After innumerable failed chances I’m done. The quality of the food here does not compare to other locations. Salads are consistently under filled and mostly lettuce and sandwiches have shrunken. The fries are often suspiciously soggy. Don’t bother ordering ahead because your meal will still come out 20 minutes later than promised. Do you like surprises? Great! Because every order I’ve ever placed has had at least one thing incorrect.
