My buddy and I were traveling to his grandparent's house and we noticed that they opened a Portillo's out here in Champaign. It was mad busy which is understandable because it's new out here.
We waited in line to order for about 10 minutes, then waited about 15 minutes to receive our food. Surprised it wasn't longer for the amount of people there.
I ordered the Big Beef sandwich dipped with hot peppers. It was extremely messy because I had them dip it, but it was so worth the mess. It was delicious, the meat was moist, and so flavorful. I also got the Chocolate Cake Shake. It was a shake like no other. It was thick, creamy, and had chunks of an actual piece of their cake in it.
The atmosphere was really cool. Neon signs are everywhere. They have windows and you can see them making your food. It's a little cramped but you gotta find a way to fit that amount of people somewhere.
Overall it's a solid 4 star restaurant. I recommend to anyone that hasn't been before.
