The food is always good. The drive thru service is a hit or miss sometimes. I've tried their cheese burgers, hot dog, grilled chicken sandwich and they've all been good. I didn't care much for their spicy chicken sandwich the chicken has too much breading and not enough spice for my taste. I like to share a large order of fries. Their fries always taste fresh and are cooked to perfection.

Went here for lunch, and I've always heard positive things about Portillo's. While the taste of the food was good, I'm a little disappointed by the size, packaging, and price. I ordered the jumbo chilli dog, but it was actually quite small and was packed messy in the wrapper. The hotdog seemed like a standard 6-inch hot dog, but for "jumbo" I was expecting longer, and the chilli was everywhere. For about the same price (or even less) you can go to Sonic and get a footlong chilli dog which arguably taste the same in quality. The fries were good, but the sauces were $0.50 each. The gravy bread was just atrocious, soggy, wet bread--I do not recommend it.
Overall, the food does taste good, but I'll probably just go to Sonic next time.

I recently discovered Portillo’s while researching popular Chicago restaurants for my upcoming trip. I was excited to learn there’s a location here in Texas, so I decided to try it out before visiting Chicago. Everything was great! I ordered the classic Chicago hot dog and the Italian beef sandwich—both were flavorful, delicious, and lived up to the hype. A great introduction to Chicago-style comfort food right here in Texas!

Actually impressed with the combo sandwich which has roast beef and sausage. For $10 I think it should be longer but it was good. More on the dry side, and sausage was a bit spicy. The roast beef sandwich also good, more saucy if you’re into that.
