Just came home from shopping and was craving an Italian combo sandwich with Italian beef Italian sausage peppers and mozzarella. Unfortunately the Sausage was missing so I've got an Italian beef instead which is fine but I just am a little disappointed. It was good. Fries were cold. I feel like you always have to check everything twice.
February 2026: This most recent visit I tried the Italian Beef sandwich with hot peppers and mozz cheese I may get that everytime from now on. It was so tasty! The peppers were Nice and crunchy and had a little heat. just right. The bread soaked up all the juiciness and held together perfectly. I signed up for their perks club and got free fries coming with my next visit.
Food was fresh and out quickly with barely a wait in the drive through during lunch on a weekday! The Chicago dog kept me full for a few hours and was bursting with flavor. The neon blue relish took me aback but everything tasted delicious and staff and manager always give a smile.
Tasty spot for a quick lunch! The beef is really good and has a nice flavor. The onion rings were really delicious and super crispy! Fun 50s vibe inside.
My last stop in Tucson before heading back to Sierra Vista was at this new Portillo's by Reid Park. I'm from Chicagoland but never have been to Portillo's. My friend lived in the Chicago area for many years and enjoys Italian Beef sandwiches. I wanted him to take one home for himself. I'm not a fan of Italian Beef sandwiches, but I do like chicken. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich to eat for lunch the next day. We went inside to order as this was my first time inside and wanted to become familiar with the menu. My first impression was how cheerful the interior was. The red-white checkered tiles reminded me vaguely of Freddy's custard. There were computers to order from, but also humans at registers to order from. We ordered from a friendly human and a few minutes later our food was ready. I enjoyed the many photographs of historic places and celebrities. My sandwich was good, but too heavy on the jalapeno. I'd come back here again to try other non-beef items.
One thing I love about Portillos is my food is always fresh. Stopped through the drive through for some onion rings. I typically dine in, but it was awesome to see the service was still fantastic. Ring ding ding ding, they totally hit the spot. A real sliced onion and crispy panko type breading, you can't go wrong. I ordered the Maxwell St. as well, but no way to eat and drive. That one you have to sit and savor it. Lol
Here for second time and again, the service excellent, food delicious and atmosphere perfect. I brought my mother and each of our dogs this time so we sat on patio. Went in with order and waited in line that went rather quickly, while mom was on patio with both leashed dogs. The cashier was as friendly as another I had last week and just smiled her way throughout. We both had the delicious Chicago style dogs , shared French fries and I had ice tea to drink. My mom had the chocolate eclair cake and I, the chocolate cake. Everything delicious- and yes dogs shared her fries! The cakes? My goodness, frosting on both super good and cakes textures both soft and delicious. Highly recommend all of it! My mom went to fill her drink and check out decor- which she loved and spoke to gentleman in carry out section on way out saying she would take our order as it was ready but he had tray in hand already. He followed her out and was so kind when I remembered I needed to order a couple hotdogs only got our "kids" and he brought those out when ready as well. He pet my dog and was so kind. We had patio to ourselves and it was just the best weather and place to be for the visit we needed.
Always enjoy a little piece of Chicago in the desert. Nice location, clean facilty and efficient drive thru. Love the cheese sauce!
When I'm ready to cheat on diabetes, Portillo's is one of the usual and favorite suspects! They won't take extra bread out like Jimmy does, but they will hand the sandwich over to you as the individual ingredients. So I do that and absolutely pull as much bread out of it as I can, down to the crust. My blood sugar still spikes but falls quickly as well. But man, the deliciousness of Chicago makes it all the way to Tucson, can close my eyes and feels like the Chicago burbs. I do have a few fries, although they are absolutely forbidden, and one time I got the banana cake. I was a BAD boy, had to walk for miles! Food is always delicious, the restaurant is always clean, peeps are always friendly and helpful! 5 Stars!
We were really surprised by Portillo's. There was a Yelp Elite event here and my family came with me and ordered food too, which of course we shared after realizing it was delicious! This is the review of the meal they paid for (and were nice enough to let me taste)! We purchased a bacon cheeseburger and a single rodeo burger along with an order of fries and an order of onion rings. The burgers were delicious (fluffy bread, perfectly sized patties, cooked to perfection). Our rodeo burger was actually missing the bacon which was a bummer but the bacon cheeseburger had so much bacon we were able to share! The patties had great flavor and weren't greasy. Those onion rings; so so good! Will definitely be back for more! Fries were solid but nothing memorable. We also ordered a strawberry shortcake and a vanilla shake, both delicious. Shake was a bit too sweet but the texture was wonderful; super creamy and delicious. The shortcake was incredibly good. Service was fine; staff was pleasant. The location itself is really cute, with some great artwork. We will definitely stop in again when we're in the neighborhood again!
Ordered the beef and cheddar on croissant. It definitely did not look like the picture. It was dry and there was barely any cheese and not much meat. When I asked an employee about this, I thought she offered some cheese sauce but she brought me some cold shredded cheese. Not a great experience. The chocolate cake was absolutely amazing though.
Portillo's will always be my favorite spot! I was introduced to their amazing food by my boyfriend, who's from Chicago, and I've been hooked ever since. They offer a wide variety from hot dogs and burgers to salads and chicken tenders and I've tried it all. Every item easily earns a 10/10! Don't forget to add a cheese cup for your fries it's a must. And whatever you do, do not skip the chocolate cake shake. It's legendary. Calories don't count at Portillo's; you just eat and enjoy! You can even take home a slice of their famous chocolate cake or go all out and get the whole cake! A big shoutout to the wonderful staff, who are always friendly and welcoming. On my last visit, Liz (also from Chicago!) helped us out and she was fantastic. The inside of the restaurant is super cool too. There's so much to look at on the walls, and the fun decor adds to the whole experience. If you haven't tried Portillo's yet, you're seriously missing out. Trust me you won't regret it!
My first time in and I had such a delicious experience at Portillo's! I ordered the Maxwell Street Polish Dog on French bread, fries with cheese sauce, and the chocolate eclair cake--everything was absolutely amazing! The food was ready fast and the dining room was decorated so cool and everything was very clean. The Polish Dog had the perfect snap and the bun was perfectly made and held the generous grilled onions and yellow mustard through the whole meal. The fries were crispy and golden, and dipping them in that creamy cheese sauce? Next level. But the real star of the show might have been the chocolate eclair cake--light, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweet. You have to get dessert - they are sinfully delicious! A big shoutout to Jon at the counter--he was super helpful, took the time to walk me through the menu, and made a spot-on recommendation. His friendly attitude and patience made the experience even better. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
Portillo's is the best! The Maxwell Street dog has a meaty sausage that has a snap, perfect amount of delicious mustard, tender and slightly charred onions makes the sandwich so incredibly good. Add the crispy crinkle fries and a Coke, and it's heavenly. The staff is always so professional and courteous. read more

I wanna just say first off.This place is amazing. As we went there, we were immediately wowed by the cool pictures and awesome memorabilia. It has. We were served immediately, and the food was enormous. And so good. The manager ray was a character to say the least. Hooten and holler, when we made our orders it was the best experience I've had in a long time. I highly recommend it 5 stars.(teen challenge.) read more

Portillos offers Chicago-based fare such as Chicago dogs, burgers, sandwiches, etc. It seems like many other fast food places with rushed preparation of food and lower quality. I had the bacon cheese burger and onion rings, along with an Eclair cake for dessert. The onion rings were good as was the cake. However the burger tasted a bit weird to me. My boyfriend's order didn't come as he ordered it. He ordered a large Italian beef sandwich with cheese sauce and a root beer. What arrived was a regular Italian beef sandwich, no cheese sauce and no root beer. Portions are decent. Overall it wasn't anything that I would probably get again. Or if I do I'll try something else on the menu. We ordered takeout so I can't speak to atmosphere or ambiance. read more
Came here for the sandwich deal, Spend a dollar get free sandwich this week only. The manager was super friendly and helpful and actually gave me the deal because my app wasn't downloaded yet. So I had the fish sandwiches. It's really good. My husband got the Italian sub, which was really good as well. Everything was very tasty. Restaurant very clean. Food was awesome. Will definitely be back read more

Hi Isaac S.,…
Loved the ambience of this place but flavor was lacking. Ordered charbroiled burger that only had a hint of charbroiled flavor. All of the ingredients were fresh however. The restaurant was very busy but the food was served relatively quickly. read more
First of all walking into this place is like going through a portal to Chicago with all the memorabilia decorating the place. Staff were very friendly. It's one of the best beef sandwiches I've had. Definitely need to go back for the chocolate cake. read more

One of the best chili cheese dogs I've had in a long time, so goo in fact I forgot to get a photo lol, the food was hot fresh and delicious. Love the set up it was very roomy clean and inviting inside. The employees were friendly and very helpful as it being my first time here. At the suggestion of the cashier, I also got a piece of the chocolate cake and it was amazing that I did get a photo read more
Had been waiting for them to open, and went when able, which was February 24, 2024 BIG place, they have a drive in and sitdown. If you have the time, I recommend dine in. Ambiance/Cleanliness-The ambiance is fire, it's got a very well curated selection of decorations that feel like diner 1950's. Really had a good time checking out the decor. Super clean. 4 stars Service-The staff member stationed at the front of the house ignored me, leaving me standing there for more than 5 minutes. In house orders are taken at the BACK of the restaurant...having never been here before, I didn't know. Once I got sorted out, it was "ok". 2 stars Food. Got a Big Beef combo, crinkle cut fries and a Coke. The sandwich was delish, char grilled sausage cooked perfectly, great flavor, beef on French bread with peppers, onions and giardenera...jus dip. 12 bucks for the sandwich. Fries were good, Coke is coke....but it was all together a bit expensive for a slightly above average Chicago style meal. 3 stars read more

Oh this place is cute! I don't know if it's a this place thing, or a this guy thing, or a chain thing... but the little rhymes when your order number is called is just delightful! Tim really liked his hotdogs! The fries were SO. DANG. GOOD! The cheeseburger was fine. The holiday special papermint cake milkshake was a great treat! I'd honestly go back just for the fries... read more
