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.

Regular hot dog with mayo ketchup and mustard looks soggy but it was delicious

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

Chicago Style Hot Dog
Nancy B.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I was visiting the family home in Buena Park and decided to get some Chicago dogs from Portillo's. I've been a fan of Portillo's since they opened up this location, even coming to the grand opening of this one. I know Portillo's started in Chicago, and I've been told that the Chicago dogs are authentic. I'm not sure if they are or aren't, but I know that they're tasty! This location is in a standalone building in the parking lot of Buena Park Downtown. Don't let the Downtown part of the name fool you; it's not the actual downtown section of Buena Park. Anyhow, parking for Portillo's is easy to find. This Portillo's have a drive thru. which can save you time with their quickness. I like ordering at the counter with a live person. I've never had bad customer service. My go to order has been two Chicago Dogs, onion rings and a drink. I look forward to getting my order number, which is what the employee at the pick up area will call out in addition to something else that they'll say, such as, "Order number 108, your meal will be great!" or something similarly silly like that. The hot dogs are made of beef and have the casing on them, so you'll get that snap when biting into them. When ordering them, I always get everything on them, which includes sliced tomatoes, chopped onions, celery salt, peppers, yellow mustard and their bright green relish - everything piled in/on a poppy seed hot dog bun. The onion rings are deep fried, not too greasy, and are nice and crispy. Fountain drinks are self-serve. There are many more items on the menu, including burgers, sausages, salads and desserts. This place can get very noisy, depending on the amount of customers, and is a pretty good place for large groups. There is outdoor seating in the patio. Enjoy!

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…

We ordered a Fat Boy Burger, a quarter pound burger meal with fries, and a ground beef taco. I love ground beef tacos so I'll always order one if there's one on the menu just to try it. The burgers were good - - topped with cheese, lettuce, onion, and thousand Island dressing. The ground beef taco tasted very much like a Del Taco taco. The fries are those chunkier fries. All in all, the food was good. Someone came in after us and ordered the fried chicken meal and it looked so good, and another person ordered a breakfast that also looked pretty good. It's a cute place and I do like to support local small business. I may be back here.

While the brisket had cooled by the time we got home, it was still tender and flavorful--just like the pulled pork. The real surprise? The chimichurri that accompanied the brisket--an unexpected and delightful touch. Overall, I'd rate the experience as average. While it's clear they've got potential, a bit more effort could turn Wholly Smokes into a go-to spot. Leaning in on those small details would really elevate the experience.

Now I stood in front of this establishment their 4 screen menu and special that jump on the screen, for two specials. BBQ bacon chopped sandwich.. You can watch the grill as the cook staff makes the food. Impressive how the young man manages the grill with pride. Counter staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Food is made to order so it takes a few minutes which is great because it's fresh and hot. The special we got was any sandwich and drink and they had two more special flashing that's why it took a few to decide. The sandwiches were well made hot, tasty and good size drinks also good size. So so tasty so filling, bread to meat ratio well done. For a mall food outlet this place I recommend price to product is good They are POS ready and even have a kiosk if you want to order Food = 8 Quality = 8 Customer service = 8 Price to product = 8

Was exited to hear Cerritos now has a smash burger spot in their food court that differs rest of…read morethe fast food line-up. Not all smash burgers are created equal. Gotta say I was not impressed. Start with the Pros. Its fresh & hot made to order, wait time is expected when food is cooked fresh, but nothing, literally nothing stood out. I tried the Spicy Jalapeno Smash Burger, patty was nicely seasoned, but nothing popped. Sauce was ok, ingredients were ok, fries were nice but. Ot enough tj bring the rating from a solid 3. Solid Mid-rating, not the best but def not the worst. Did not try the chopped cheese samich, did not want to be more disappointed than what I already was.

This review is based off a to-go order on a weekend!…read more The place was sadly empty except for me and a couple that was dining in. I was greeted promptly and the server was kind enough to give me a glass of water while I was waiting as it was b*tt f*ck hot outside. I ordered: - Crispy chicken sandwich: served w/ house sauce, coleslaw, and pickles - KoKo curry katsu: served w/ salad, rice, miso soup, and Japanese curry - Tonkatsu ramen: creamy pork broth with sliced pork, soft-boiled egg, nori, and green onions - Super Philadelphia roll - Super Yellowtail roll - Rainbow roll - Baked scallops roll - Panda roll ...now that I think about it, I think I ordered more, but I can't remember. Though the rice in the sushi wasn't very well-seasoned, the cuts of fish were generously thick and relatively fresh. They have a large menu, so actually want to return and try other items. If you're seeking to support a small local business but not sure what you want, this place has it all from curry and sandwiches to noodles (udon, ramen, yaki soba) and sushi.

Wish I could give them ten stars. Been here many times, food is always great. Freshly made to…read moreorder. Family run and they care about their business. Dined in many times, the place is always clean, pleasant and the staff is very attentive. Also their takeout food is awesome, same good quality and care, made fresh to order. The general location is a little challenging. Beyond the control of the owner but perhaps the area will improve with years to come. I wish these hard working folks nothing but success, and from freshly made sushi, to and absolute awesome chicken sandwich that needs to be experienced. I would have posted a picture of the food, but it was so good, I forgot to take a picture to share.
