Portillo’s is slated to bring Chicago street food to Schertz.

The details

The restaurant chain offers a variety of menu items, including hot dogs, hamburgers, pasta and other street food selections.

According to the business website, the restaurant was started in 1963 by Dick Portillo. The first location was a Portillo's hot dog stand in Villa Park, IL, called "The Dog House."

Since opening, the restaurant has expanded to more than 80 locations nationwide, with locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and Houston area.


The Schertz location will be part of Schertz Station, which is a mixed-use development featuring multifamily housing and retail.

While an official opening date for the restaurant has not been established, the business is expected to open in 2025.
