I had a take out order. When I got home my Diet Coke wasn't a Diet and the bread served with my Wife's Caeser Salad was old or stale. It is usually very good but yesterday it wasn't

Something going on here. The franchised portillos food tastes good, but it is prepared in a substandard way. Portillos in the Chicago suburbs is a staple fast food for me, but the Mishawaka location is not consistently hitting it out of the park unfortunately. Sometimes sandwiches are soggy and sometimes dry when ordered completely the same. Sometimes fries seem over or under cooked. It's good fast food when prepared right, so hopefully Mishawaka can dial it in!

Oh my goodness! We loved Portillo's! The restaurant was recommended to us by friends who live in the area, so we had to give it a try when visiting Notre Dame. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was fantastic. We enjoyed having the Chicago dog, fries, onion rings...we saved the chocolate cake until later...WORTH IT! It was so very good.

While in South Bend, we wanted to have one of favorite foods...a Chicago Dog. The inside was like a nostalgic restaurant. The person who took our order at counter was dry and didn't create a warm & friendly atmosphere. We ordered the two Chicago hot dog combo that included fries. Reasonably priced. The dogs were good. Not the best I've had but satisfied the craving.

The jumbo chili cheese dog served on a poppyseed bun is always a great choice. Onion rings or fries can't go wrong. The sodas aren't syrupy or over sweet. Not a big fountain pop fan, but I'll drink them here. They have kiosk or counter service and either way it's very quick and easy. I work in the Mishawaka/ S. Bend area alot and usually will enjoy Portillo's once a week.
