I love Portillo's. But this location cannot get drive-thru orders correctly. They consistently order the wrong number of items, or the toppings that we ask for. We've had to call in literally the last 5 times we've been there telling them they missed something, charged us for things we didn't get, or because we were given other people's orders. Clean it up Portillo's. It's not that hard serving hot dogs.

Always a crowd, always good food!

Updated...Drive thru....October 2025...
No silverware for the two salads ordered...
No napkins....
No straws for drinks....
Very disappointed....

Always crazy busy there, kids working the lines and management supposed to be on the line with them. They get backed up and sometimes push orders out too fast food has been forgotten and I even received a free salad and oh boy did it taste good since it was free. They owed that that to me without judgment on my part as much money I spend there.
