Portillo’s sauces are officially launching nationwide, introducing five bold new flavors, a limited-edition Sauce Flight, and a Valentine’s Day Red Hot Meal Deal featuring chicken tenders, fries, shakes, and exclusive dipping sauces.
Portillo’s, the Chicago-based fast-casual brand known for its Italian beef sandwiches, char-broiled burgers, crinkle-cut fries, and legendary cake shakes, is spicing up Valentine’s Day with the launch of five bold new dipping sauces, now available at all locations nationwide, including the ones near Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World. The flavor-packed lineup gives guests more ways to dip, dunk, and customize their favorite Portillo’s menu items. These debut just in time for the season of love.
Introducing Portillo’s New Sauce Lineup
After months of culinary development and guest testing, Portillo’s is rolling out a revamped sauce menu designed to elevate everything from chicken tenders to sandwiches and fries.
The Complete Portillo’s Sauces Lineup Includes:
- Comeback Sauce (NEW) – Creamy and tangy with black pepper, garlic, and paprika
- BBQ Sauce – Sweet, tangy, and smoky with a touch of heat
- Buttermilk Ranch – Rich and herb-forward with onion, garlic, and black pepper
- Honey Mustard – A refined blend of Dijon and yellow mustards, real honey, lemon, and spices
- Hot Giardiniera Sauce – Creamy, spicy, and infused with Portillo’s signature hot giardiniera relish
“This new sauce lineup represents months of culinary development and testing,” said Denise Lauer, chief marketing officer for Portillo’s. “The result? Bolder, more flavorful versions of the classics our fans already love — and an exciting new Comeback Sauce that we know will become a fast favorite.”
