Portillo’s Launches Five New Dipping Sauces Nationwide

The saucy lineup includes upgraded versions of BBQ, Buttermilk Ranch, Honey Mustard, and Hot Giardiniera. Those are great, and all, but the real one everybody is talking about is this brand-new Comeback Sauce.

What’s Included In The New Portillo’s Sauce Lineup

What is Comeback Sauce exactly? It's a creamy, tangy blend of black pepper, garlic, and paprika that, according to reports, took months to develop.

If you're a Portillo's Perks Member, you'll have first dibs on The Sauce Flight, which includes all five sauces, at $0.99 with chicken tenders through February 3. Personally, I'm a little surprised they're charging for the sauce, but then again, I guess they can't just give it away, can they?
