This is yet another place I'm surprised I've never written a review on. I've been going to this place for a minimum of 10 years. I'm pretty sure I've had just about everything on their menu from the hot dogs to the burgers to their sandwiches and salads. I have to say they're chili cheese. Fries are probably my favorite from any restaurant. I think it's something about the nacho cheese that they use, which doesn't say much, but they are incredible. The service is always pretty quick here, even when I ask for my dogs to be well done. I love the decor inside of this place, because it's a throwback to an old time. Chicago era. The only thing I wish they do is get rid of their kiosks to order because I don't like when businesses replace employees with computers. That's my only gripe. So, stop in and enjoy a dog but make sure a person takes your order, not the funky kiosk. read more

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Drink cup. - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Drove all the way from Beaumont to try Portillo's for the first time as I heard they use Vienna Beef hot dogs with a nice snap to them. I ordered the chili dog with onions and got a side of nacho type cheese to dip it in and for the Fries...... Not bad overall, but the chili had BEANS in it and was too watery. It needs to be THICK like at Tommy's and Cupid's. The fries were no big deal. Speedy service, as the inside was just about empty on Thursday around 3 p.m. How about selling just the raw dogs so we can take them home and make our own? These were not anywhere near as good as Cupid's in the San Fernando Valley on Winnetka.....which has been the gold standard for decades!! read more

I did not enjoy the taste of my food and their was hair in my hotdog the first and only time I went. The service wasn't bad or good it just was. The ambiance is like an old school diner theme. It wasn't bad it just wasn't anything to call home about. If you like hotdogs and just want one that taste like anything then this is your place. read more

Every time I come to portillos I HAVE TO order the Italian beef combo sandwich it's my favorite. This time I ordered it with the sweet peppers however after trying it this way, I can say that I prefer the taste when i get it with the two types of peppers and the spicy ones give it a nice kick and a good flavor contrast. My son likes getting the chilli dog and he always says it's super good. I wish I had not order the bigger sandwich so that I could have had a strawberry milkshake. The milkshakes are always a must try! We like the old timey look inside. Always a treat eating here :) read more

It had been quite awhile since we had dined here, but again Diane and I were afforded a 4-1/2 star overall experience. My ordered double dipped Big Beef Sandwich with Sweet Bell Peppers, melted Mozzarella Cheese, and Giardiniera was enormous, and after initially having my breath knocked away by the Giardiniera's overwhelming spiciness, my intestines soon settled down and I greatly enjoyed the melting concoction. The hoagie roll supporting this mammoth edifice of tender roast beef and embellishments nicely sopped up the au jus, and sank under the heat. The Chicago Dog that accompanied the Big Beef was a classic all-beef Hot Dog with a snap, rounded out with Emerald Green Relish, White Onions, Sport Peppers, and Yellow Mustard. For purists no ketchup is allowed on Chicago Dogs! Crinkle-cut French Fries added to my enjoyment of the meal. Diane liked her Fish Sandwich with a slice of American Cheese, and was especially fond of the Cheese Sauce into which she dipped her Fries. read more

Always amazing Mexican food. Cooked to order and super fresh. They take really good care of you and offer authentic Mexican food.

I finally made it back to my hometown and had to stop by Portillo's in Moreno Valley again!!!! This was the first time I decided to try their burgers and boy I'm glad I did because I've definitely been missing out. The char-grilled burgers were cooked perfectly--juicy, flavorful, and loaded with fresh toppings. The Italian beef sandwich was tender, juicy, and even better with the hot and spicy peppers that added the perfect kick. The French fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. And if you're ordering fries, the cheese sauce is a must--it takes them to the next level! Daughter had the Chopped Salad with spicy chicken, and it was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. The spicy chicken added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the salad. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the staff was friendly. If you're looking for delicious burgers, amazing Italian beef sandwiches, crispy fries with cheese sauce, and a fresh, satisfying salad, Portillo's in Moreno Valley is definitely worth a visit! read more

I met Portillo's the way all great love stories begin: through Yelp and sheer destiny. One bite in, and BOOM.... true love!!! Let's be clear: the hot dogs are elite, but the real super star here are the malted milkshakes!!!! I'm talking "ruined all other milkshakes for me" levels of good. I've been thinking about that malt like it owns me!!! Walking into Portillo's feels like time-traveling to the 1950s... retro vibes, old-school jams, and a whole lotta nostalgia w a side of ketchup. It's not just a meal; it's a vibe!!! A delicious, greasy, joyful vibe!! We treated the menu like a checklist.... Italian beef sandwich, burgers, chicken fingers, fries, cake, the works. Verdict? Most things were great!! However, the Beef & Cheddar Croissant showed up soggy and uninvited, so we politely said "no thank you" to that one. After extensive (and delicious) research, my kids and I unanimously agreed: hot dogs + shakes = MVPs!!! Pro tips: *Get the fries w.cheddar and dip EVERYTHING!! * Add grilled onions to your hot dog. Trust me. Your taste buds will thank you! Highly recommend dining in, bc the food is great, but that 50s throwback experience is awesome!! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a long time! A foodie YouTuber I watch had me craving the cheese fries. We stopped by on our way home from Palm Springs, and it did not disappoint. The drive through service was friendly and had a efficient system. I ordered the Chicago veggie dog and cheese fries. The dog was delicious, and the cheese fries were just as good as I expected. I loved the crunchy veggies with the seasoning and relish. We even got an extra fry with cheese since my veggie dogs took a little longer to prepare. Thanks to the staff, we absolutely pigged out. We may have found a new tradition of stopping here on our way back from Palm Springs. Also, please do not take away the veggie dog. It is so great to have plant based options at a fast food spot, and they can be hard to find for vegetarians. We are out here! read more

So worth the drive got here 1 hour before it closed. Service was fast and friendly, got the Chicago hot dog meal. Hot dogs were so fresh and delicious. For the size it's plenty of food for you to get stuffed or you can share it. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing with music playing in the background. Highly recommend bringing the whole family and enjoying some great affordable food. read more

I wish there was a Portillo's closer to my home. Instead I try to go to this Portillo's on my way to Vegas or back. I really like their chopped chicken salad. The salad comes with ditalini pasta, tomatoes, bacon, and green onions. I ask for no Gorgonzola cheese. The house dressing is like Italian and it's delicious. The crinkle cut fries are my favorite. My husband ordered the cheeseburger and chili cheese fries today and he said they were really good. In the app, they gave me a free slice of chocolate cake for my birthday. I don't usually like chocolate cake but this cake was so moist and tasty. Can't really comment on service because we placed our order on the kiosk. The restaurant itself was clean. read more

First Visit. Always heard about this restaurant. More specifically, the location in Orange County. Decided to try here. The restaurant was too crowded. Arrived upon opening. Extremely friendly service at the counter. A great customer experience from the counter representative. I order a Hot Dog and a Polish Dog. The Hot Dog itself was outstanding. Had great flavor, and a nice crunch or snap. And the unfortunate side, it was extremely small. Way Way too small, as you can see by my photo. The Polish Dog was so good!! Not too salty and just the right amount of flavor. I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I recommend Thank You for reading read more

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Kids hot dog, large french fry - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Yelp! review #3 of 2026 Huge Portions - Great Pit Stop on the Drive! We were driving back from California and decided to make a pit stop here - a friend had taken us a few years ago and we really enjoyed it, so it was an easy choice. Ended up grabbing a bunch of food for the family: * Two chicken tender meals for the kids (these were MASSIVE - way bigger than expected, so we had tons of leftovers) * Four orders of fries * Two orders of cheese sauce (I think? - perfect for dipping) * A beef + sausage combo and a hot dog for one of the kids * Plus a 2-pound bag of meat to go, which was a great call for later meals (got my friend in Vegas that brought us here a few years ago. Everything came out fast despite a busy drive-thru, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Staff was friendly and efficient, turnaround was quick, and the dining area had a decent vibe - music at a reasonable volume and conversations weren't overly loud. Prices felt fair for the huge portions you get. The only downside for me was the beef + sausage combo - it fell a bit flat. The sausage wasn't as flavorful as I remembered/expect, and the "spicy" peppers were mild at best, nothing close to what's advertised. We totally forgot to grab the giardiniera mix that our friend specifically recommended, but the 2-pound meat bag saved the day for home. Overall, my wife and kids were super happy with their meals (especially the chicken tenders and fries), and the kids even asked if we could stop here again next time we're in the area. I'd definitely come back - just skip the sausage combo and go straight beef or the meat by the pound. Solid spot for a road trip break! read more

One of my favorite restaurant chains in SoCal. This location in Moreno Valley is much closer to me than the Buena Park location, and it's not nearly as busy as that one either. I wish we had one in San Diego, but that would be dangerous, lol. I like the chili dogs, but my favorite is the roast beef sandwich. I get the larger size, dipped, and then save half of it to heat up in the air fryer for another meal. You have to get the cheese sauce as a side, to either add to your sandwich or dip your fries in. And I love crinkle fries, so this is another plus. Last time I went, I also got a piece of the chocolate éclair cake to take home to my Mom. It was delicious, and tasted exactly like layers of flattened éclairs! They have a rewards app, and your first checkin earns you a free fry on your next purchase. You can also use it to order ahead of time. They have things like salads and fish sandwiches, etc, but I will probably never ever order those here. read more

4 out of 5 stars is the perfect way to describe this place. I wish I could give it a 5 out of 5, but the food didn't exactly meet the expectations I had for Portillo's. I ordered the chili cheese dog, and I was a little disappointed. The hot dog itself was good, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the chili--maybe I just chose the wrong option. On the other hand, the cheeseburger was really good. It reminded me of a classic backyard BBQ burger: simple, fresh, and satisfying. And honestly, simple is sometimes the best way to go. The atmosphere also added to the experience. It had a nice American charm that made the visit even better. Overall, this place was great, and I definitely look forward to coming back. There are still a few menu items I want to try next time. read more

Coming back after the Yelp Elite event, I was less impressed. It might be as simple a matter as what you order, but the value seems to vary--I had the jumbo hot dog this time, and it was definitely not jumbo at all. I'm actually curious what the normal hot dog looks like, considering this was about as average a hot dog as they come. It tasted all right; I liked the toppings, especially the peppers, but the sausage could have used more char. I also tried the fish sandwich. Sort of expensive for how thick the breading was compared to the amount of fish, but it did come with a comically large piece of lettuce. Overall: Nice interior, quick service, but the food value varies greatly. I definitely don't recommend the namesake hot dogs, but the sandwiches aren't too bad. read more

Hard to beat an authentic Chicago dog! This Portillo's location certainly keeps the high standards of the other locations. I have visited and provides a delicious meal. This time I decided to also try their crispy chicken sandwich and was personally surprised at hell while they do the chicken. They're certainly legendary for their hotdog in their Italian beef, but this is another nice addition. The fries are always great, especially with the cheese sauce. Certainly recommend it very highly. read more

Came back to Portillo's to try something new. I got the chicken sandwich and fries and it was amazing! The sandwich was crispy, without being greasy at all. I also asked for extra pickles and they use the good ones! The fries were still delicious and crispy, despite a drive home. I'm hoping to come back soon for my favorite chopped salad. read more

overall experience was excellent! The cashier was helpful and I was able to travel with my meal and have it be the best quality it could be.

I tried this place for the first time and was impressed by the decor. The Midwestern theme is well done and felt authentic based on my visits to the Midwest. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. I ordered the chili dog and fries, and for the price, I expected much better. The chili was thin and watery, lacking the hearty, meaty flavor you'd expect. It tasted more like a budget canned chili than something made fresh in-house. The hot dog itself was just okay--nothing memorable and certainly not something I would return for. Given my experience, I'm surprised by the current four-star rating. The restaurant looks great, but the food didn't match the presentation or the hype. I would recommend managing expectations before visiting. In my opinion, it's simply not as good as it looks. read more

The food here is gooood. Solid plant based garden hot dog. The meal came with fries and a drink and it was very filling for me. I don't eat much and if you do you may want to order more. Prices are reasonable with the plant based hot dog around $5. The service is fast and efficient. The ambiance gives off a Chicago/Italian style restaurant. There are many seats in there and great for families. I like the lights and dim lights in there. I recommend ordering your hot dog with grilled onions and giardiniera sauce for the most flavor. Plant based garden dog: 4.5/5 Fries: 4/5 (fries could've been cooked more) read more

Great staff, plenty of seating inside and so much fun stuff to look at while you are eating. Pretty much standard Portillos (at least the ones we've been to here in CA). Love the ambiance. The food is good as well. There are a few kiosks available for ordering as well as a walk up cashier if you prefer. I also love the option to mobile order and it is always ready when we arrive. Service is great, food came out quickly and was fresh and hot. Everything we got was tasty from the Chicago dogs to the chicken sandwich and fresh baked bread loaf. I got a few gravy dipped French rolls to bring home. They were good but I felt the Buena Park location were a little spicier which I liked better. Overall super happy we saw Portillos on our way to UCR and glad our son said we needed to stop on our way home! read more

Well darn it, I forgot to check in. I was here yesterday on my way home picking up some Italian Beef, gravy, buns and of course one chocolate cake to go (one of the many reasons I exercise Ha! Ha!). I have stopped here before and between this one and their location in Scottsdale I get my Portillo's fix. Quick service and helpful, I was out the door before I knew it, Location was busy per usual since their food is so tasty. I almost grabbed some crinkle cut fries to go but decided I had done enough damage with my purchases. The question remains - Will Las Vegas ever get our own Portillo's?? This Yelper is hopeful! read more

Signing up for perks on website or app is a horrendous experience in frustration. I was notified of an available Perk of free large fries with a $5 order. Kept getting an error attempting to apply the Perk so it went unused. I waited for my order at the pick up counter and when my number was called I repeated the number and showed my receipt and the staff just pushed the bag indifferently toward me with the back of his hand. Then spotted the same guy as we left, parking his large self next to the soda fountain getting his fill of soda. Food itself was decent which is why this place is getting one extra star from me than I would typically give. Overall pretty disappointing after spending $35 here. read more

Solid spot for chicago style hot dogs. Super happy that there's a location in the IE. It's almost like Disneyland inside with the design and lights. Love it! We ordered through the kiosk since it looks like its faster than going in line. The food did take a while, but it was a busy Saturday lunch. We had to order the jumbo hot dogs, with everything of course! The polish sausage was a great choice. I would also recommend getting the onion rings and dipping them in cheese sauce. For dessert, definitely get the chocolate cake shake, it's to die for! My only issue was that the hot dogs did come out kind of lukewarm. However, this is still a great joint for an affordable lunch or dinner! read more
