Portillo's Villa Park

I didn't realize that they had opened early for the holidays when I was waiting in the parking lot at 10:00. Nevertheless, I decided to go in and grab some snacks. I was warmly greeted by about half a dozen staff members who wished me a merry holiday, and I couldn't wait to place my order. I needed to complete a carryout order to take down to my dad in Kentucky, so I required something quick and easy to transport. They offered me a beef kit and asked if I wanted bread to go with it. Luckily, my dad has some delicious bread, so I declined. I have to say, it felt like I was catering my own party! I made sure to get both hot and sweet peppers. I ended up spending more than my dad and I actually needed, but the food was fantastic. They even sold me a generous jar of giardiniera peppers. I dashed out, wishing them a happy new year as I left. They packaged everything up in no time—quicker than it takes to wait for a sandwich. Go Portillo's! You rock!!!

I've consistently had excellent service and delicious food at this location. I've been coming here for years, and I can't recall a single instance where my order was incorrect. The staff is always friendly, and I leave feeling happy after each visit.

It was good. Service was good. Food was good and hot. It's gotten pricey, but what hasn't?

The food was delicious and the employees were very nice. The decor along with the pictures and music gave it a going back in time feeling .. I loved it! Would definitely recommend people eat here!

That was the best experience I can remember from my teenage years. Having Route 66 right in front of me made it even more special. Thank you!
