    Portillo’s is always a required stop while I am in the city. This specific location is my go-to. Love the spacious dining room, including the upstairs area and the variety of merchandise to purchase. The chocolate cake is to die for!!

    They lie about their hours fyi, past 8pm they won’t serve you. They can reply but that’s the truth. Plain and simple.

    My favorite place to visit when I’m in Chicago. If you haven’t been to this restaurant then you’re missing out! You need to give it a try as the food is delicious. The service is fast and there’s plenty of seating. It’s a Chicago favorite.

    Cant hate the classics, always love dipping my chili dog inside my cake milkshake like a true chicagoan. The lady behind me saw me do this and visibly gagged and made a wrenching noise which wasn’t nice but I thought it was delicious. 10/10 love Portillos.
