Maybe it was all of the build up that I had heard prior to going that makes this review 4 stars instead of 5, but all in all it was pretty good... But just that, pretty good.
I had heard so many amazing things about Portillos from all of my Chicago friends that I just expected this place to "wow me". Like I said before, it was good... but I was expecting great.
With all the hype on the Italian beefs, which ARE very tasty, the hidden gem for me was their burgers. very flavorful, well cooked and taste like they're cooked over an open flame. I don't know for sure whether they are or not but either way they're a solid order.
It's great when Ted's hotdogs is closed and I feel like a link and fries...
