Satisfying that late night craving for an Italian beef sandwich or a Chocolate Cake Shake is now a little easier.
Portillo's has extended hours at 15 locations, a majority of which are in the Chicago area. The expanded hours, which went into effect on Monday, "will offer more convenience and flexibility for guests" to enjoy their favorite items -- whether they prefer to dine in, go through the drive-thru or pick-up a to-go order inside.
In addition, all of Portillo's 86 locations will now open at 10 a.m. daily, according to a news release.
