Strawberry Cheese Croissant
Nancy S.

Took my mom to Porto's to celebrate Mother's Day! Since it was on a Thursday, we decided to celebrate a little early. She had always heard about Porto's and had tried their cakes before, but she had never actually been there in person. The food here is always delicious, and their desserts always hit just right, they're not overly sweet and have great flavor. When you first get there, there's usually a line you have to stand in, but don't worry! It moves pretty quickly, so don't feel intimidated by the wait. The workers are also always helpful when taking your order. Despite it being busy and loud in the bakery, they always have smiles on their faces that make the atmosphere feel welcoming and comfortable. Overall, my mom was genuinely happy and really loved the Red Velvet cake I got her. It was like watching a child walk into a candy store with the huge smile she had on her face. I've been coming to Porto's Bakery for years and have never had a bad experience there. The prices are also reasonable considering the quality of the food and desserts. I'll definitely be back for one of my siblings' birthdays. I highly recommend the Milk N' Berries cake since it's our family's all-time favorite!

Porto's House Cold Brew & Poblano Pepper Soup
Samantha L.

I recently came in to dine on a weekday morning because I was in the area. I have had the pastries and bakery items from here a bunch of times, but rarely have I came to dine in or for their lunch/dinner food!So first, I've never had any of their drinks before but I tried the Porto's House Cold Brew and oh my goodness it was actually so so good!! I loved it, I will definitely be getting it again. It wasn't super sweet at all, but nor was it bitter! I also tried the seasonal corn/bean poblano pepper soup. 10/10! I really liked it. You can get it in a bread bowl or in a cup. I chose the cup, and it still came with a piece of bread which is cool. I do know if you order the bread bowl to go though, they'll give it to you separately instead of placing it together! Side note, I picked up some bakery items while I was there as well, but a worker let me know that if you don't plan on getting any bakery items and only food you can just go straight to the register instead of getting in the line. Someone I was with didn't know that so thought I'd share! The girl who helped me was really nice, she answered my questions about the coffee and didn't make me feel rushed or bad for asking at all! It wasn't too busy when I went. I still had a bit of a wait time but nothing too crazy! Lots of dining space at this location and I personally enjoyed sitting outside.

I love this place. We were down in LA and wanted to have lunch before we went home. The one close to us had a line down the block so we came to this one and got in. It had a shorter line and I think this one is bigger to. The staff here are amazing and work hard getting us through the line. There was a parking lot in the back. It was packed but we were able to find a spot. The place is really big inside. Lots of spots to eat here. They have lines going in both directions of the front counter. Two counters in a large L shape. We went to the left. We waited about 12 minutes so not bad since the place was packed. We ordered a lot since we are not down here that often. The lady at the counter was so nice and friendly. Very patient since we were looking at everything to order. Didn't want to miss anything We ate some of the stuff there and of course took a bunch home with us to eat at home. i was in a craving for tuna fish so I got the melt. It was so yummy and hit the spot. The wife got a Strawberry pastry. It was amazing. We got the cheese bread that we love. and some other pastries for home. Everything was great as always. Got to stop every time we come down South.

I love coming to this place, when I'm in the area. This is a special treat for me since there isn't a Porto's in my city. We like their pastries and food. The place is very busy almost all the time. When you walk in, there are two lines. One line is for food and pastries ordering and the other is just for pastries orders. After you order you go and stand on the side you order from and wait for them to call your name to pay. If you ordered food, when you go to pay, they will give you a pager to pick up your food, on the side you pick up your food. It was a little confusing at first, but after you do it. You get their system. We ordered a bunch of pastries to take home and some lunch. For lunch, we both order a sandwich and soup. Both items are pretty good. The clam chowder soup was loaded with ingredients. It had really good flavor. The sandwich I got was the Cubano. It was supposed to be like a panini, but it wasn't warm enough. The bread was toasty, but it was not warmed enough to melt the cheese or heat up the meat. I only ate half and saved the rest for later. I heated it up the next day in the air fryer and it tasted better. My husband ordered the tuna melt and that one tasted really good. They are pretty known for their cheese rolls. They are so good when they are fresh and warm. I really like the cheese rolls. We also order chocolate croissants, strudels, and a strawberry custard croissants. They were all so good. Parking is a bit challenging. They are so busy that there is not parking. I've never been here when it was not busy. The lines do go pretty quick and the staff are pretty nice.

I ordered some ham croquettes to bring home to my family in the Bay Area, but unfortunately when I opened the box later, they weren't included. I probably should've checked before leaving, but I also feel like that shouldn't be necessary. It was pretty disappointing. Aside from that, the overall experience was fine. The staff were all very polite, and I had a Cubano and a tamale at the location, both of which tasted really good.

Visiting from out of state, Porto's is a must if you've never been. They have several locations but their bakery has so many options for everyone, from savory to sweet you'll find something during your visit. We ended up taking several pastries to go. We also tried their coffee, I would say their coffee was good but nothing that was above and beyond. The bakery is the star of the show. Wish there was one in Arizona, we'll definitely be back.

Porto's is 100% a destination I must visit whenever I'm anywhere in Southern California. It's non-negotiable because there's honestly nothing there I wouldn't eat. From the potato balls to the empanadas to all of their sweets, everything is consistently delicious. The craziest thing about any Porto's location is that they are always busy and packed. Despite the crowds, the line never seems to stall and moves surprisingly fast. They have the system down to a science. I absolutely love this place, and one day I'll branch out and try more of the savory dishes that always smell and look incredible.

Ham Croquette (Croqueta de Jamon) - Each
Mel L.

Came here for an early dinner. Food was good. I wanted a regular mojito but they only make strawberry. Why are they selling matcha drinks at a cuban place? Just odd. Everyone was friendly. Service is great. Luckily I came at a time when there was lots of parking and no long lines.

If you're from Los Angeles, you know about this place. If you don't, you've probably been living under a rock. I've been to three of their locations. I come here the most since it's the closest to where I live. On any given day, it's going to be packed with customers. It's common for the line to extend way past the entrance. No one cares about the lines. Why? You consistently get delicious food at a reasonable price from extremely efficient and pleasant staff. This place is famous for their baked goods, but they have other stuff too. My favorite items include the potato balls, guava strudels, Parisian chocolate cake, fruit tart, Cubano (Cuban) sandwich, and strawberry smoothie. There's a bunch of other stuff I like, but I'm going to stop here since I'm trying to keep my review relatively short for once. There are so many reasons why I love Porto's. But here's one final reason. Tipping culture is getting out of control. Not at Porto's. They don't even give you the option to tip their employees (even though they will bring food to your table if you dine in and clean your table after you leave). Which means they probably pay their staff a fair wage. Keep doing what you're doing Porto's. You rock.

All of their locations are fire and they keep the same great taste at every spot, which I love because you always know what you're going to get no matter which location you go to. My favorite thing here is the potato balls you honestly cannot come here without trying them! If you can, try all of them. If you can't, then you for sure have to try the original (papa rellena). The seasonal turkey one in November is amazing too. They pack so much flavor. I'm a huge mashed potato and ground beef fan, so that combination together is just sooo good. The chicken croquette isn't bad either, but not my go to order. The matchas and coffees are pretty good too. If you like sweeter drinks, you'll love it here. If you're not big on sweet drinks, you can always ask for it a little less sweet or add an extra shot. Parking can depend on the location and it can get a little busy because they're popular, but the inside is always nice, spacious, clean, and there's plenty of seating. The staff is always friendly, the prices are affordable, and even though I'm not huge on sweets, the pastries I've tried have actually been pretty good.

Best cakes in town
Karina E.

Celebrated our Front of House Managers Birthday and they were delighted with both cakes.... It was such a nice treat, the chocolate cake with raspberry preserves was perfectly moist and decadent...the fruit tart had a nice balance of freshness and sweetness.... I pre-ordered the cakes a night prior- next day was a smooth pick up... it was busy on a Friday 3pm afternoon and it wasn't a hassle to pick up... parking is always a bit challenging though.

Mina L.

This place is ALWAYS poppin' off! Even though the lines look intimidating, the staff is so efficient and friendly that your wait isn't that bad at all! Every time I'm in the area, I come in and grab a guava smoothie. I also take as much as I can to bring back to others as well. Prices are just as enticing as their sweet and savory treats! I seriously LOVE this place!

Porto's line so worth it in Downey
Paul Y.

Awesome food. Efficient service. Nice place for lunch or any meal. Cuban oriented sandwiches like Cubanos. Great bakery. Try the cheese rolls, cakes and other awesome baked goods. Love their plantains and sauce. I always try to find time to stop at a Porto's when I'm in LA. Ambiance is nice large food courtish. Lots of out door and indoor seating. Clean restrooms. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed

How much lead time do they need for a 1 layer custom cake?

The custom cake are 4 days on website

Last time I ordered Porto's for pick up online and they had the full menu, for some reason as I'm trying to do it again all the items are not on the list even yesterday at 10pm when it opened everything wasn't on there. Has something changed?

May be your location is different. When I went to their website from Chicago it was very different than when I was in the neighborhood.

Can you buy lunch items before 11am?

Not the plates or steak,chicken tortas or grilled chicken.

Can you buy any lunch items during breakfast hours and do they offer any Military discounts?

Not the plates or tortas, and no discounts of any kind.

Does anyone know what day is the slowest ? I was thinking either Monday or Tuesday at 8:30am

Portos is always busy, but Tuesday would probably be a little slower.

Hi, are you open tomorrow for Easter?

Yes, From 6:30 am - 5pm

Is curbside pickup still taking place?

Order online for a pickup but there's no curbside

Does Portos Downey have inside dining?

Yes they do. There's plenty of seating inside too!

How much is half sheet of milk n berries cake?

Only round cakes sold at Downey location,Glendale sell bigger, but you have to pre-order.

Will online pickup orders be available on December 24? If so, what is the earliest pick up time on that day? How early should we order ahead? Thank you

Order now few pick up times available now

Do they still make the thick sugar cookie; I think they're called polvorones?

No I don't see it on the Downey menu location.

How long is the wait usually in the pickup line for online orders?

Do they still do curbside pickup for online orders?

No. You can bypass the main line and go to the online order pick up line.

Is there vegan options and alternative dairy for the cafe?

Best thing to do would be to call them. +1 562-862-8888

Can I have my dog on the patio here? I understand there are no dogs allowed inside but wanted to know if he can sit outside with me.

I believe you can. I've seen pet parents bring their fur babies a few times. Best bet is to ask staff.

Nope

You don't

Yes, there is a parking structure adjacent to the bakery.

The foam with the custom latte art cost an extra $2 but I think it was worth it, at least for my first time. To be honest, Honey Greens seemed like a gimmicky place since I thought the foam art was all that it was known for, but no, their drink quality was actually good! I got the agave matcha latte for myself, and I enjoyed how rich it tasted and how vibrant it was in color. I also added a cold foam which made it too sweet for me. Next time, I plan on ordering an unsweetened matcha latte and add cold foam as the sweetener. I also tried a sip of the lavender matcha and that was the one thing I didn't like because the lavender overpowered the matcha. It was pretty busy for a Friday afternoon with all the tables filled and a short line formed after I walked in. The workers were all so kind, and it was overall a very inviting place with fun decorations and a myriad of art options for the cold foam.

I ordered the Coconut Iced Latte with Sweet Cream Cloud Foam through the app -- paid about $8.50. It was too much on the sweet side but honestly, the sweetness was on me since I added the cloud foam, but the drink itself was about a 6/10. My order was ready when I arrived, and the girl who greeted me was genuinely sweet and welcoming. On my way out, their pastry display caught my eye and I went back to grab a Matcha Pistachio Croissant ($7.50). A different person took my order and she seemed a little bothered when I came back to order, which was a bit off-putting. The croissant itself was disappointing -- it didn't taste fresh, and this was only about 30 minutes after opening. For $7.50, I expected a lot more, especially compared to other spots serving matcha pistachio croissants that are both tastier and more affordable. The shop was nice and clean and it has plenty of seating. That said, their matcha is still easily in my top 3 -- that part never disappoints. I'll keep coming back for that, but I'll be skipping the coffee and pastries going forward.

Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.
