    Long time Dick Portillo Fan

    I first became familiar with Dick Portillo's offerings back in the '60's when he started out in the wagon parked in the Zayre's parking lot on North Avenue in Addison. I took my boys there after little league games and it was the highlight of their day, even more than their game. Now they are all grown and send me the Portillo's Beef kit here in Texas on a regular basis. I am very grateful for the service and find the product just as good as if served in one of the restaurants. Keep up the good work!Nick N.Fort Worth, TX

    Just Like Home

    I am originally from Chicago. I moved to Memphis back in 1989 and have longed for the delights of hometown food. I was really pleased with the quality of Portillo's Beef. The food was fresh as if I purchased it from the restaurant here in town. Thank you for the memories!!
