“Yum!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

All I really have to say is Yum! What a wonderful find on a business trip to the LA area. Was referred by a co-worker having experienced the food during a Chicago trip. Was overwhelmed by how good everything on the menu sounded. Could not make up my mind. Decided to go with the Italian Sausage to start. Was not disappointed. Definitely worth more than one trip.

“Chicago comes to California!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

This is REAL Chicago food - Italian Beef, Hot Dogs (done right), Polish Sausage, Italian Sausage - the works. We are from the Chicago area and it tastes just as good here as it does back in sweet home Chicago! You haven't lived until you've had an Italian Beef with sweet peppers - dipped in gravy! Everyone from here that we've referred there - Chicagoan or not - loves it!

“A Taste of Chicagoland in California”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

I'm a big fan of the Portillo's chain back in the midwest. This location does not disappoint. The thick shakes, chocolate cake, dipped roast beef, sausage, and everything is authentic and delicious. Come with your appetite and leave satisfied and full! My recommendation is the beef and sausage combo, dipped (dripping with au jus), and with hot peppers.
