Portillo's fans, get ready for even more access to your favorite dogs, because their South Loop location, the second in Chicago, is opening in May.

WGN published the rendering above of their new location, which is under construction at 520 W. Taylor St. It's two stories, has a second-floor patio and will seat 200 people.

A Portillo's rep told NBC that they picked the location for its proximity to businesses, homes and university students. The chain also has a third location set for Gurnee, Illinois in the works.
