Portillo's Is Coming to Avondale
You can start contemplating
catching a hot dog, Italian beef or Polish....before or after a Cub's game at Wrigley...or just heading out on a spring or summer's eve to the restaurant's outdoor patio. The chain's third Chicago location is going up on the corner of Addison and Kimball Avenues.
Surf to their website
with this link
and sign up for construction updates and a chance to attend a sneak peek taste prior to the grand opening late 2019. The chain, started as a simple hot dog stand in Villa Park in the early 60s, has numerous themed locations in the suburbs but only two others in Chicago in the RIver North and South Loop neighborhoods.
