Both. Silly question if you ask me.
Plus, if you come to Arizona you are going to Chino Bandido, but thats another thread.

Fund won't let me do both, but I think I have heard you talk about that one. Chinese Mexican? It is intriguing
 
Well looks like I know whats for dinner...now the real questions is do I go to the Portillo's that is two miles West of me, 6 miles East of me, 4 miles North of me or the one on my way home! Guess I have to go to all of them!
 
Sleeper Portillos Item to check out: Chopped Salad

My wife and I usually get a burger and a chopped salad and split them...so good.
 
Things to get at Portillo's: Burgers, Chopped Salad, Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Shakes, Cheese Fries, Hot Dogs.
Things to never ever get at Portillo's: Italian Beef. Most overrated beef in the Chicagoland area.
 
Honestly for me it would be Deep Dish for dinner and then a chocolate cake shake at Portillos for desert. Granted, it would be 3 days worth of calories, but I would do it tonight if it was available.

Portillo's is ok for italian beef, but I prefer Pops.

No but my sister has lived there for going on 10 years now. I really need to snag a chocolate cake shake next time I'm out there.
 
Chopped salad is a Barnelli's item guys, c'mon. It's distinctly important since Dick still owns Barnelli's.

I'm hoping the new Portillo's owners will allow franchising. I need to open one in Iowa!
 
I had forgotten we were getting one of these, drove by the other day and a good amount of progress has been made. I should be trying it for the first time in the next few months.

We saw a lot of people get the chopped salad and it looked incredible. I also saw a guy put more salt on his fries which is crazy because they already over salt their fries (in a good way, but anymore is just too much).

I was also shocked that we weren't the only 2 people ordering a chocolate cake shake when it is snowing and in - 4* outside.
 
I love all of their food including the beef. Burgers are a sleeper pick for sure. Chocolate cake...well i mean, it's chocolate cake and I like it. But I've had better in the cake department. Gosh I haven't been there in so long and there's one right down the street from my work.

The chopped salad is always a solid choice and their dressing the use is great! Plus you can never go wrong with a chocolate cake shake...never!
