It will be the chain’s 38th location but just the second in Arizona. The first opened in Scottsdale earlier this year and drew nearly 10,000 customers its first day.

Portillo’s menu features its signature Italian beef (pictured), Italian sausage, burgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, specialty salads, shakes, and desserts.
The 8,219-square-foot Tempe restaurant will have seating for 236 people indoors and 80 outdoors.
Hours will be 10 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
