There are some SERIOUSLY cult-favorite restaurants coming soon to Orlando.
As you might have heard, White Castle is making it’s way to the Disney World area (We can’t WAIT to get our hands on those burgers!), but that’s not the only exciting joint coming soon. Back in 2019, it was announced that Chicago-style favorite Portillo’s would be joining the eats line-up near Disney World and now we know when!
Portillo’s announced today that the Lake Buena Vista Portillo’s location will open on March 2nd! This spot, known for its Italian Vienna beef sandwiches, char-broiled burgers, and Chicago-style Vienna beef hot dogs, will be located at the intersection of Palm Parkway and Daryl Carter Blvd.
This spot will have a neat rock ‘n’ roll diner theme and will serve up a full menu of Portillo’s favorites. You can step inside for the first time at 10:30AM on March 2nd, but you’ll have a chance to get some Portillo’s eats BEFORE then too.
The Portillo’s food truck, the Beef Bus, will be in the area beginning January 21st to serve up “Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, cheese fries, and beverages.” To keep up with the Beef Bus, you can follow @BeefBusOfficial on Twitter and Instagram.
Plus, you can enter for a special sneak peek meal at the new location right here. AND they’re hiring. If you can’t get enough of delicious Chicago-style eats, this could be the job for you.
We’ll be updating you with everything you need to know for the opening of Portillo’s, so stay tuned to DFB!
