I thought the cheeseburger was alright. I’ve had several others of their burgers but they were also average. The rest of their stuff is good though.

I got a Maxwell street polish. I could tell it was sitting around for a long time. I didn't finish it and threw away. Too bad, I was looking forward to it.

I'll tell you about my experience this is what it is everything was beautiful it worked like clockwork last week I went I ordered a double cheeseburger and here I only got a single now today when I went of course I get my food after waiting over 15 minutes and my food was cold everything my double cheeseburger was cold my fries were cold the only thing that I was happy about being cold is my soft drink what the hell is going on with this location this location is rocketing down Hill
Is it really that hard to serve people hot food like I stated before when this place first opened up and for the first couple of years everything worked fine what the hell happened

Hey manager of the New Lenox Potrillos,
It’s December 13, 2025, and 11° outside. We *do not* need people outside managing the drive-thru. Some people *might* complain about having to order through the speaker, but those people will never be happy. In really hot or really cold (or snowy, rainy, etc), let your employees stay inside. I’d rather do business with a machine on days like that.
Thanks!
*** update to reply to your response: with all due respect, your employees looked miserable and were muttering “I’m dying out here.”

Let me just start off saying I’m used to portillos in the Chicago land area. Not what so ever does this portillos even compare. As soon as I began to order the cashier just had no character, seemed very mad at the world. Tone of voice, eye contact and even the toss of my change back to me.
Then I proceeded to go and use the restroom, I over heard a young lady very upset. As she came out of the stall eyes balling I had no choice but to ask her what was wrong. Let’s just say the management brings such stress to there young employees here at this establishment. I doubt they are working on that due to the story’s I heard.
I got my food finally which seemed a while wait, over 15minutes for sure. Cold after that I just expected and off the bat I knew my experience wasn’t going to be a good one.
I hope this establishment, establishes itself a bit better at the future moves forward.
