Our new Portillo’s will be located at the intersection of Buford Highway (Highway 20) and Mall of Georgia Boulevard, bringing our signature Chicago-style favorites to a popular Georgia shopping and dining destinations.

The approximately 4,900-square-foot restaurant will have room for nearly 100 guests inside, plus another 20 on the outdoor patio. And whether you’re staying awhile or grabbing your favorites on the go, we’ve got you covered with our signature double drive-thru lanes, Portillo’s Pick-Up shelves and a Grab and Go area.

Beef, Burgers, Dogs and Cake? You Bet.
