Growing up in Naperville, Portillo's was a staple in my diet, and the city version is just as good. They are so consistent and do everything well. Burgers, Polish, Beef, and the Cheese Fries are the best. Kind of a pain to park, but worth it. Best "fast" food around...

Place is cool - but isn't this a restaurant? Shouldn't they be focused on food? I dont care how nice it appears to look, i want good food and fast! If i can't get it, as i couldn't here, i will not and am not coming back!

Portillo's is just excellent: great food and value. Everything they do is really good: the burgers, the dogs, the salads, and even the deserts (have you tried the apple pie or the rum cake?). What can you say about a place that after taking your out-of-town friends to all the nicest restaurants in Chicago, you receive a call a couple of months later and they ask: what is the name of that simple restaurant in the corner with those awesome ribs?

Once in a while you stumble across a food so good, you want to call it perfect. 4 years ago I happened upon the chopped Salad from Portillo's, and perfection was achieved. Averaging 3-4 salads a month ever since, I can't say enough about the salad. If I could move Sarita(the woman who makes my salad weekly) into my kitchen to make salads every night, I would do it. Next time you're in the area I highly recommend you stop by and pick up the best chopped salad Chicago has to offer.
