As an aside, I've never heard of Portillo's. I looked it up to see if they have any California locations, and sure enough, there are only 2 in the Greater Los Angeles area... one in Buena Park (Orange County) and one in Moreno Valley (next to Riverside).
Is it any good? Looking at the menu, if I were to go to one, I think I'd get the chopped salad.
Looking at the name, in my head I'm pronouncing it "Por-TEE-yos." Is that how it's pronouned? Or is it "Por-TILL-os"?
As another aside, it's funny because apparently in other parts of the US, people don't pronounce Spanish names the way we do here in southern California. I occasionally have to deal with people on the phone in the Northeast and South, and they pronounce these names differently:
Mario
Ramos
Morales
We say "MAH-ree-yo," some say "MEH-ree-yo."
We say "RAH-mos," some say "RAY-mos."
We say "Mo-RAH-less" or "Mo-RAH-lezz," (and this was a new one for me last week), some apparently say "Moh-RALZ."
