It's Chicago junk food - Italian beef, dogs, polishes, etc.
I guess you could order a salad there, but I have no idea why anyone would.
It'd be like going to a bonafide pizzeria and ordering their sushi. Who does that?

It's named after its founder, Dick Portillo, who pronounces his last name the American way: por-TILL-oh
So that's what most people call it.
But now that Chicago is 1/3 Latino, I do hear the Spanish pronunciation of the name from time to time too.
