Finally! All of you over on the Hillsborough side have had Portillo's hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, cheese fries and chocolate cake shakes all to yourself. Now St. Pete has its own Portillo's. Opening in just a few days at the corner of 66th and Tyrone Boulevard, the new location has a retro vibe with some Florida palm tree flavor mixed in. Take a look inside - we got invited to take a peek!
The first Portillo's in Pinellas!

What do you put on your hot dog?
Remember your number...
It's ready. Let's eat.
I went with everything on it... even celery salt and I hate celery. But it was awesome.
Everyone loves the Italian Beef and Hot Dogs... I think Portillo's has the most underrated burgers in Tampa.
Hungry yet?
Portillo's fries... missing one thing.
Dip those bad boys in cheese!
