My to-go order would have been great if only they had included the sauces that I requested in my initial request. You can see it on the order receipt that I've attached to my review. The place is very busy, which means it's popular. The other patrons in line were very friendly. There is a drive thru that was constantly full as well. I'll have to try it again and see if they can earn their star back.
I really like this place it's giving old school diner vibes like back in the drive in days when they showed movies yall know what I'm talking about. Anyway the place was crowded and we drove from LA to Buena Park just for this restaurant. It's always packed but they are good at keeping the line down. All the food is really good here and full of flavor. We spent about $75.00. I did a video for you guys and some pics. Enjoy....
Great place for a meal. The environment was interesting to the eye. Something to look at in every corner. By far, the best breaded chicken sandwich I've ever had! We'll definitely come back!

Chicago Dog in Orange County? Sign me up!
Portillo's is as authentic as one can get when you crave an Italian beef or Chicago dog. Situated in the bustling Buena Park, across from Portos, Portillo's is a massive shop that can't be missed. They are constantly busy both indoors and in the drive-thru, open from early lunch to late at night.
Once you enter, you're transported into a vibrant diner adorned with various artifacts carefully selected by the restaurant manager. It's bright, fun, and lively.
Let's dive into the food:
* Chicago dog - This is not your typical hot dog. It's garnished with pickles, tomatoes, relish, onions, and mustard, all on a poppy seed bun. Such a fun way to enjoy a hot dog. Once you try the Chicago style, you can never go back!
* Italian beef (dipped) - Tender, thinly sliced beef on French bread, with melted cheese and added peppers. Highly recommend getting it dipped; it's juicy, soft, and oozing goodness.
* Cake shake - Just as the name suggests, they've added a slice of cake to their shake blend. It's super decadent and delicious, but not for the faint of heart.
Portillo's is a household name for Italian beef, and you can't go wrong with any of their dishes here. It's a place for us to be transported back to Chicago whenever we miss the city, the food, and the beautiful architecture.
This place is fantastic. Born in Chicago, traditional recipes, and great value. Hot Italian beef sandwiches, cake shakes, cheese sauce for your onion rings, and a big patio for those nice days. The portions are huge, and there isn't any I've tried on their menu that isn't big in flavor. The gardinare is a must-have on your sandwich. It adds crunch, heat, and flavor. Their bread is fresh and soft. The beef is sliced thin and perfectly cooked. This place is awesome.

Being originally from Chicago this place is a little piece of Heaven. The service is quick and friendly, the food...omg . The jumbo hot dogs with everything are... everything. The chopped salad- delicious. French fries - hot salty crispy. Shakes are 2nd to none.
This place was Amazing! The service was great and the food was served up fast and hot! And it was delicious!! The atmosphere was that of a 50's style, eclectic collection. I LOVED it, and will definitely be back!
Really good Italian beef sandwich, Italian beef sandwich with sausage, double beef cheeseburger burgers and hotdogs. Chocolate cake shake is awesome.
