The Allen location, which is just south of the Allen Premium Outlets, officially opened Thursday with a ribbon cutting ceremony, where they also presented their charity partners, Allen ISD and All Community Outreach, with a check for funds raised during an event last month.

Portillo’s first North Texas location was in The Colony, and another location is planned for Arlington.
