You can't compare the two. That guy from Mokena's food is so so at best.

Portillo’s will do well in TV. They started in Chicago and were famous for their hot dogs but their Italian beef has become truly their fast food menu leader. If you are a “chocoholic” you’re in for a treat with the chocolate cake at Portillo’s. Let it happen!

Portillo is the best! Best chicago roast beef! Took my kids there after every sporting event all through school! It’s a little big piece of chicago!!

Just what we need, another fast food chain. Sheesh!

They are a Chicago based company. Another fast food but better than the rest. Great beef sandwiches

Portillo’s is fantastic! Technically fast food, but a step up from the rest. Great Italian beefs and salads. The original owner sold it several years ago and I’ve heard that the quality has slipped a bit, but I’ll definitely give them a try when they open here.

Portillo's has a large menu. I would not consider it fast food, but yet in a way it is. Chocolate cake is made with mayo, that's why it's so good. They will do a huge business once people try them as they are a Chicago tradition. Started from a food truck and grew massively. They had a food truck at Edna's for a couple of days but were called back to Chicago because the pandemic was heating up. Most people in line were familiar with Portillo's and loving it. Others ate at the Mexican food truck because they weren't sure what Portillo's was. I was elated and the sandwiches large and filled with tasty thin sliced beef, great Italian style au jus on Italian style bread. They can be ordered juicy for extra flavor with sweet green peppers or hot Italian peppers in oil which are not readily available in Fl. Try it - much better than anything around trying to replicate Portillos.
