    First time trying Portillo and oh man its comb!! I got the jumbo hotdog with onion rings and cheese dip. Ive never had a Chicago hot dog before, and wow they sure load up the hot dog with toppings. Comes with mustard, relish, celery salt, freshly chopped onions, sliced red ripe tomatoes, kosher pickle and sport pepper over a perfectly steamed poppy bun. Its so good!!! The onion rings is also a must get. I dipped the onion rings and the hot dog into thr cheese dip, definitely a game changer with the cheese dip.

    This was genuinely one of the top three worst chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I ordered a regular charbroiled chicken sandwich with no lettuce and no tomato and I did NOT ask for extra mayo. Apparently, they decided to substitute the lettuce and tomato with an absolutely ridiculous amount of mayonnaise. The sandwich was completely drenched in it. Just looking at the picture says enough.

    The one and only time I've ever had portillos was in Chicago. So I was excited to try the one in Buena Park after visiting Knotts. We are locals to LA and love a good hot dog. I got the Chicago style which comes with peppers and pickles and it was so good! Also got the chili cheese fries. And I'm so picky with chili cheese fries and these were actually really good! The woman taking orders was so friendly as well Loved that they had a drive thru as well

    After our Ensenada cruise, from Longbeach terminal, my daughter took us here on the way home so that we can taste their hotdog and cheesesteak sandwiches. Ive been missing polish sausage so I definitely ordered this one We got fries with it of course. Yum yum burp burp!!!! Definitely hits the spot. We got 2 hotdogs and 2 cheese steak sandwiches 2 fries and a lemon cake for $70... Not bad. It's really worth the money because it doesn't taste like an actual fast food. I tasted their cheeseteaks and hotdogs and both were good. The posi The service is fast. The whole place is clean and I love that it's spacious. You won't feel overcramped. Parking is okay. Lots of parking space. I highly recommend it.

    Portillo's is home to famous Chicago-style hot dogs, sandwiches, burgers, salads, chocolate cake, milkshakes, and malts Today we Stopped by for lunch, no drive thru today, we actually wanted to come in today. From the outside it looks closed but they are open :) No complaints just yummy dogs Ok bye

    Love coming here, the food is always good. Favorites include the Chicago dog and Italian beef. Big fan of the chocolate cake shake.

    I have been to Chicago and never went to Portillo's thinking it was a touristy place. Since my wife has been traveling to Chicago for work she has raved about this place and their beef dip sandwich . So I had to go to the only spot in So Cal to check it out. OMG why have I never tried Portillo's!!! The Italian Beef Sandwich with mozzarella and their sweet and hot peppers. I even got a side of cheese sauce. Seriously one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The beef is juicy and lean but with so much flavor and the peppers give it a great kick. I even got a Chicago dog too. That wasn't bad but the Beef sandwich was amazing!!!

    Chicago style hot dog
    Leonard K.

    I love this place. It's great. I was driving back from some work stuff and for some reason, there was a freeway closure so I had to take the 91 instead. As I approached the five, I thought about it for a moment and realized I could get a Chicago hot dog. When would be the next time I would be here? I didn't know or have any idea. So I came and got lots of hot dogs! I love just how the flavor of all the ingredients, from the tomato to the pickle to the chilis, chopped onions, green relish and the amazingly tasty hot dog and bun all come together. It's one of the best combinations ever for a hot dog and if I could eat them every day, I probably would. But I like living, so I don't think I can do that. The service here is nice. You have your choice of going to the register or kiosk. You also get a huge dining area with a fun ambiance as well. If you've never been to portillos for a hot dog, you have to go!

    Love Portillo's! I absolutely love the cheese! Get the French fries with cheese sauce. It's such a great combination. They make the fries crunchy and salt them perfectly. One thing I noticed, is that they always have top notch customer service at Portillo's. They make sure you have your order correct, and provide condiments and napkins. Ambiance is usually just, but worth the wait. The food is consistently good.

    Dipped Italian Beef with Sweet Peppers and Giardiniera Peppers
    Erik G.

    I've been wanting to visit Portillo's for a while, but we're always busy when we're in Anaheim. Finally, I got the chance to check it out! As a chain from Illinois, this is one of only two California locations, and it's in Buena Park. The place was packed early, even shortly after opening. You can order at a kiosk or in line. Be sure to keep your receipt; they call out your number when it's ready. The Italian Beef with hot Giardiniera and sweet peppers is pretty good. I recommend getting the dip on the side; it gets soggy quickly, especially if you take it to go. I ordered food for the whole family, but they didn't care for it, so that means more for me! Haha. I even ate the leftovers the next day, and heating them up on the stovetop was just as good, if not better. I heated the broth on the side and drizzled it over the sandwich, and also used it for dipping. I tried the Chicago Dog after having the Italian beef, and I thought it was the best. It was the perfect bite - the spice of the peppers, sweetness of the onions and relish, and the great snap of the dog really hit the spot. I even ate it when the bun was soggy, and I still loved it! This fast food is as good as it gets! As with any fast-food place, mistakes can happen with orders. I checked my order upon receiving it and everything seemed correct, but I mistakenly didn't check for the sauces. I saw ketchup in containers, so I went to the counter to ask for packets. However, I forgot to check for the two sauces I ordered with my son's chicken tenders, and they were missing. We didn't realize it until we left, unfortunately. The onion rings were pretty good, and I would order them again, but the crinkle-cut fries were a bit soggy, so I wouldn't order them again. They offer Coke products with free refills if you dine in. I love Portillo's logo, with the weiner dog in a bun with white and red stripes - it's a very iconic design. I definitely will come back to Portillo's; it's my go-to spot for a Chicago Dog. However, since we don't live nearby, I won't be able to visit as often as I'd like. The restaurant is spacious, and I love the Chicago-style decor - it makes you feel right at home. I would definitely order the Italian beef again with the dip on the side, and I'd also get two Chicago dogs.

    Double Rodeo burger
    Jenny T.

    Seriously, Portillo's has the best onion rings in the game; they're super crispy and crunchy, and seasoned to perfection. I absolutely love the rodeo burger. It's like the western cheeseburger at Carl's Jr, but much much, MUCH better quality and taste. It's paired with their amazing onion rings inside the burger, so it's phenomenal in flavors and textures. I eat it with their delicious refrigerated ranch ( you can ask for some when your number gets called at the pick up window). They have a wall full of cute merch at the check out line now! I received a slice of chocolate cake for free for my birthday month by being in their loyalty club. So decadent! Overall, I love Portillo's. They have ample seating and the staff are all so nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

    Ordered to go so I can't really speak on the service. Fun family atmosphere. Lots of tables and you can see into the kitchen. I got the Italian beef sandwich and the hot dog. I could hardly wait for the Italian beef so I ate most of it walking to the car. The bread was soft and soaked up a lot of the juice from the meat. There was a large amount of beef. Flavorful and just delicious. The hotdog I ate the next morning so I can't give an honest review of how it is when it's fresh but when I heated it up, it had a great snap and was delicious. I'll be back if I ever see another Portilllo's.

    Bacon cheeseburger
    Jorge C.

    One of my friends recommended this place to me, so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because I was not disappointed. The restaurant has an old-school diner vibe, which I really appreciated. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger meal, which came with fries and a self-serve drink. The food was good, and the customer service was solid. The only thing that threw me off was the layout. When you walk in, the first station you see is actually where you pick up your food, not where you order. You have to walk all the way to the back of the restaurant to place your order, then walk back to the front and wait for your number to be called. It was a little odd and confusing at first, but the wait was pretty short, probably no more than five minutes. They also forgot to put napkins in my bag, which sucked, but I'm assuming there were some available somewhere in the restaurant. I didn't bother looking around, so I'll take that one on myself. I also went through the drive-thru, and that was an experience in itself. There's no traditional speaker box where you place your order. I completely overshot it because nobody was there when I drove by, and then someone suddenly popped out behind me. I stopped, backed up, placed my order for chili cheese fries and a slice of chocolate cake, and the girl put a little sticky note number on my car and told me to drive to the second window. I did, got my food, and was on my way. Overall, it's a good spot with good food and a unique old-school feel. If it's your first time going, hopefully this review saves you from looking like a confused rookie like I did. Once you know how everything works, it's pretty simple. Oh, and apparently their hot dogs are really good, so I'll definitely be trying one the next time I stop by and you should too.

    Two Chicago dogs, onion rings and a drink. Filling!

    Portillo's Buena Park Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Portillo's Buena Park

    Do they except EBT?

    Good question. I googled and it says yes. They are a part of the restaurant meals program.

    Do they have dollar hot dog days?

    Hell no. I wish.

    Is it possible to place an order verbally instead of using a kiosk at this establishment?

    Yes, there is STILL a counter for traditional ordering.

    Do they still have outdoor seating ? And are dogs allowed outdoors?

    They do have a large patio and last time we went I also was able to take my pooch in the patio area to eat with us.

    Do they have gluten free buns?

    I don't think the bun is... but you can ask for gluten free options. Double check tho, I'm not 100% certain.

    Do they have the Field Roast vegan dog like the Chicago locations yet?

    They had a plant based garden dog when I was there on Sunday May 29th.

    Are the beef hot dogs kosher?

    I doubt it. They don't keep kosher. They mix dairy and meat. If you're looking for a Kosher dog for the flavor, these dogs taste good even if they're not Kosher. But if you're trying to keep kosher or want kosher style, look elsewhere.… 

    When will you be opening the dining room again? I'm not into eating in my car.?

    It's already open for dinning inside.

    Are the hot dogs all beef?

    I believe they are all beef. I don't like hot dogs that are made with pork and can tell the difference in taste when they have pork in them. I really love these, so my guess is all beef. You can call the location and ask. I'm sure they would be able… 

    Do you guys show all Cubs games?

    I don't really see TVs inside (I would double check but i wouldn't drive 1 hour and 40 minutes just to check) but there is music.

    How much is the chocolate cake shake?

    Small 3.99, large 4.99

    Do they allow dogs (pets)?

    As a general rule of thumb, most food establishments do not allow pets due to health concerns. However, this location does have a large outdoor patio accessible from the front entrance which may be suitable for animals. I personally have never…

    This place is a total hidden gem that's tucked away inside the Arirang Supermarket food court! I…read morereally enjoyed all the food I tried here with my friend today. I would definitely recommend this place. The food was tasty and the workers and owner were all so nice and genuinely friendly too Their portions are very generous for their affordable prices. Love that they use quality ingredients and everything was very fresh tasting, not too heavy feeling and very flavorful! So much variety here to choose from too. Love all the different options available here as I have friends with dietary restrictions so it was great she was able to enjoy the food here with me Their red chojang sauce was tasty and not overly spicy or too concentrated. It mixed really well with the cupbaps we got and tasted just right to us m. Both my friend and I enjoyed all four of the items: The pork katsu salad, the crunchy fried shrimp roll, spicy baby octopus cupbap over rice and the crunchy raw fish cupbap over udon! Love that you have the option to do rice or noodles. They also give you a lil udon soup as well as a small banchan tray with a salad and Korean pickled veggies to complete your meal! Will definitely be back here to try some of their other items and spread the word with my love ones!

    JUST DELICIOUS!! I got a #4 spicy chicken bulgogi( I replaced pork for chicken ) for a to go order…read moreand it's as pictured on the menu. The to-go bag well curated. I was craving something quick , easy to digest and close to me and this happen to pop up on my search which is inside the AR mart .I was greeted by a very kind and sweet lady . I didn't experience a long wait , maybe because it was a Sunday early dinner , not sure but was served in a timely manner . It's a little treasure of a spot and don't forget to get your punch card because you will come back . Enjoy !!
