Portillo’s, the Chicago-based fast-casual chain, has opened its fifth Valley location near the southeast corner of Williams Field and Santan Village Parkway in Gilbert.
The grand opening officially is Friday, but the doors quietly opened Wednesday.
The new 7,800-square-foot building features a retro automotive garage theme, indoor seating for 180, and a patio.
Portillo’s is best-known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, Italian sausages, and chocolate cake.
Open for lunch and dinner daily.
A sixth Valley location is scheduled to open late this year in Queen Creek.
