The chain, known for serving ‘Chicago street food,’ currently operates 94 restaurants across 10 US states.
Hot dogs and chocolate cake won’t be the only things Portillo’s serves in the coming months, as Chicagoans will be the first to get a taste of the chain’s new breakfast items.
The company announced last week it will begin testing breakfast at five Chicagoland locations on April 15, available daily from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. for a limited time this summer.
The limited-time menu offers a lineup of “savory egg sandwiches with a Portillo’s twist, an exclusive chocolate cake donut collaboration with Stan’s Donuts, locally roasted coffee from Metropolis Coffee, and even the brand’s iconic Italian Beef – now breakfast-approved,” the company said in a news release on April 11.
As part of the test, the company is also offering Breakfast Meal Deals, which feature a signature breakfast sandwich, a small coffee and hash brown bites for $7.99.

According to the company, Portillo’s breakfast menu is “packed with bold, satisfying options made with quality ingredients and local flair.”
