We went during the Golden Ticket giveaway to try the meals here. I've been to Portillo's before and had their italian beef so that was what I was aiming to have this time around. I got the italian beef with sausage and cheese fries. We got chocolate cake as well.
The italian beef with the gravy has a great amount of seasoning and worked really well with the italian beef! My bun wasn't too soggy. It was great :). I loved the sausage in it too (It had a nice kick to it) but it was a lot for me lol. I ended up removing the sausage midway through the sandwich and found there was a substantial amount of beef left! So yummy! The cheese fries were delicious. Perfectly crisp fries and yummy cheese sauce.
The chocolate cake, I heard, has mayo in it...this cake was so moist! I liked the frosting. Overall, the staff did a great job because it was SUPER busy and they were very friendly. Seems like it'll be a hit. I tried the random tamale that they also serve as well and this was yummy. Would make a great snack.
