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

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

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Chili cheese dog and cheeseburger - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

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

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Plant Plant-based Garden Dog! - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

Great hot dogs - I try to get these when I am in the area . Go to is Italian beef and fries

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

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 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

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

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Outside entry - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

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

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

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

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

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

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

Came on a Saturday afternoon , wasn't too busy The staff were so rude. Just the whole atmosphere was off. The kids chicken tenders cost 19 dollars that's so crazy Doesn't come with drink or fries. Just the tenders so I paid for that The Philly cheesesteak was so bad the bread was so soggy the meat was so greasy. Didn't enjoy But I will say the bathrooms were super clean lol read more

Gotta try the beefs! Get the hot peppers with cheese and full dip. It's delicious! Walk right and order, sit an enjoy.

Chocolate cake shake and moist chocolate layered cake with delectable chocolate icing, need I say more? Try dipping your fresh crispy hot fries into the shake! Their Italian beef sandwich dipped in the gravy is my favorite but their spicy sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers, and chopped salad are all very good. If you don't want soggy buns, ask to have the gravy on the side. Good quality comfort food in a clean family friendly ambiance. Great Sevice! read more

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

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

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

Absolutely horrible tasting food. The Italian beef sandwiches were flavorless. The fries were cold and soggy, the cheese sauce was barely warm. And the side of gravy was just a small spoonful of grease. What a waste of $75. Will never eat here again and will definitely not recommend this place ever again. The most inconsistent quality of food you will ever throw away!! read more

Great first experience. Very lively restaurant. Easy to order at the kiosk. Our food was ready less than 10 minutes. Young lady handing out orders was really nice and friendly. Food was fresh and tasty. Tons of very spicy jalapeños so maybe get them on the side. read more

Portillo's Moreno Valley - Salted caramel spice cake - Burgers Near Me - Moreno Valley, California

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

What can I say other than Portillo's always delivers. The service is great, and the food is amazing no matter what you order. Everything is consistently fresh, fast, and flavorful. I honestly wish all fast-food restaurants would follow Portillo's way -- they could learn a lot from a place that clearly knows how to do things right. Keep up the great work! read more

Portillo's began in 1963 as a hot dog stand near Chicago. They expanded to Moreno Valley in 2008, which is only one of two California locations. The Buena Park restaurant opened in 2005. I placed an online order for chopped salads, chicken tenders, a chili cheese dog, and charbroiled chicken sandwich. All was delicious, fresh, and customized as ordered. read more

Been to this location a few times now and absolutely love the food here! Have had their beef sandwich and street style polish hot dog and would recommend them both. The hot dogs in particular are a highlight for me as the sausage is very well done and the toppings bring a unique Chicago flavor to the hot dog. Service has been great here and the restaurant has a classic retro feel which makes it an awesome place to dine in! read more

Great service and some good eats! Their famous chocolate cake by the slice or whole. I like their little shop area right before you check out. It's alluring. Order at the kiosk or at the register. Drive thru available, plenty of parking. read more

My friends swear by this place and made the long drive to pick up a catering order for our monthly game night. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the meats and freshness of the bread. The toppings for the wet beef sandwiches were literally the cherry on top of yumminess. I ate it without the bread to cut back on carbs, but my husband enjoyed his sandwiches and I didn't mind eating more meat and veggies. I know they shelled out a pretty penny, but I'm not 100% sure if their hype was legit worth the drive and price to me personally, but everyone dug in and seemed to enjoy themselves. I would probably try it again, but only if in the area. read more

I honestly came here solely for the chocolate cake shake. I saw some videos of how they made it on YouTube and was close enough to the area for a detour. I also picked up an Italian Beef Portillos way with hot peppers to go. I ate it after an hour and it was still good despite the bread becoming soggy. The cake shake was good. I liked the chunks and the richness. When I look at the nutritional information I almost want to cry. I think the cake shake is one of those items that I try once, or maybe once every few years. I did like it and have no regrets. read more

I finally swung by Portillo's today and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint! I ordered a regular sized hot dog with everything on it, small fries and a small drink. The hot dog was surprisingly filling and all the flavors worked so well together. I'm a sucker for mustard and pickles so this was perfect for me. The crinkle cut fries were hot and perfectly salty. I only spent around $11 and boy am I stuffed! I will say the drive thru line does take a little bit longer than a different fast food chain, but the food and service makes up for it! Sarai was very sweet when she was taking my order. Check out this Chicago based chain! read more

Portillo's is a place you have to experience one time. You'll feel bad about yourself afterwards, swear to never go back, only to return because you can't get the cake shake out of your mind. We drove an hour to check it out, because why not? We ordered the Chicago dog, fries, the Italian beef dip, a slice of cake to take home, and a cake shake. The hot dog had a good snap but wasn't hot. The fries were hot and nicely salted. The beef dip was meh and just not my thing. I don't want soggy bread and think it's gross. The cake shake is the reason you go. It's delicious, chocolately, has an entire slice mixed in, and you want it again. Will I return? I say no, but am positive that cake shake will lure me back in. read more

1 of 2 California locations (currently). Located on Day St. & Gateway Dr. directly across the street from Baker's. Plenty of parking and drive-thru service. I was in the mood for a Chicago-style hotdog, so Portillo's it was. I'm lucky to have this location nearby. You order at the counter & seat yourself. Menu items consist of Chicken, Fish, Italian Beef & Sausage Sandwiches, Hotdogs, Burgers, Salads, Shakes, and even a 'Grab & Go' section, including merch. We ordered their 'Two Hotdogs' combo and 'Italian Big Beef' sandwich to share. As a dessert, I had their Lemon Cake slice. Everything tasted amazing, just as if I was in Chicago. I made sure to order their hotdogs as is, absolutely no changes, no ketchup and/or mustard added as Chicagoans taught me lol. The Italian Beef sandwich was perfectly wet. The restaurant is big, and clean, with a fun atmosphere perfect for family dining. Service was fast and efficient. Overall, it has always been a good experience at Portillo's, and will continue to enjoy their iconic Chicago-style hotdogs & Italian Beef sandwiches. read more

One of my favs in the area. Usually get the western burger, beef that's used has tins of flavor and the perfect amount of char that you get whenever you cook over an open flame. Hot dogs are amazing, that perfect snap from a natural casing dog. And the CAKE SHAKES!!!! What's not to love there. The decor is cool, always find myself looking around when I'm eating trying to read the license plates that are throughout the building, and the servers are always friendly, always get the order spot on no matter how complicated I make my order. read more

We love Portillo's. The friendly Chicago decor is classic old Chicago just like all the Portillo's we were in when we lived in Chicago. Their Italian Beef is fabulous. Good chopped salad, especially the hit version. The cheese fries are the best. The hot dogs are absolutely the best. Fun counter staff but not a lot of contact with staff especially with the order kiosks. We'll be back whenever we pass this location. It's one of our favorites. read more
