I always make sure to visit a Porto's location before heading to the airport. I went here on a Sunday around 4:23pm and there were multiple lines with a wait. This place is a large cafe with multiple rooms and multiple lines to order the different items they have here, so that part can be confusing. Anyways, I ordered a dozen of the Guava Strudels and a dozen of Potato Balls since those are some of my favorite items. I also ordered a Guava Smoothie, which that was my first time trying their drinks and I loved how refreshing that smoothie was without it being too sweet. I'd recommend this place! All the food I've tried here so far tasted good and now I recently tried one of their smoothies which was good too. The staff here are also helpful since the cafe is so large with multiple lines and I liked the amount of seating they have inside. read more

Porto's Bakery & Cafe gets 5 starts from me because of how AWESOME it is! My go to item is my favorite Guava and Cheese Strudel. You just cannot go wrong with any item here on their menu. I love that they have seasonal items too such as an iced pumpkin chai latte. The pastry items are just made to perfection. I love the cheese rolls! Dining in or taking it to go is always an option. They have customer service nailed because of the way their line and ordering system works. The staff who work here are kind and helpful. You definitely need to check out Porto's Bakery & Cafe. You will not be disappointed. read more

A very affordable sit down chain cafe with indoor and outdoor sitting. There a bakery and a cafe section. Very lively and busy. I ordered two tartlets; fresh fruit and the yuzu meringue. Yuzu meringue: perfect sweetness being not too sweet. There is a very strong yuzu taste to it which compared to most other yuzu flavored food theirs is very subtle. Fruit tart: Perfect shell and custard flavor which you can taste the buttery shell and not overly eggy or sweet custard. the fruits were all fresh and sweet. read more

This is my first time to the Glendale location, super nice really clean and it wasn't that crowded. They have tables inside and some outside for a nice day you can eat outside. We decided to dine in and order some food, we tried the ham croquette, Cuban sandwich and grilled chicken with citrus. After I headed to the bakery to get some desserts to go, got four boxes worth. Filled with cream cheese, guava, cream, cheese, churro, cinnamon, croissant, and apple tart strudel. All of these are excellent choices. The problem with the bakery as they have so many options you don't know what to get you just wanna try everything. This location was great because it wasn't crowded and there was no line at the bakery. You could just walk up in order. I've been to other locations where the lines are super long and you waited at least an hour just to get dessert. All in all this place was great fast service friendly cashier is very helpful. Give this place to try and happy eating. read more

I came a little before 11am and it was already packed. There were two lines going: one on the cafe side and the other on the bakery side of things. Both sides were always long but it was pretty easy to get through. The service staff was efficient in getting orders taken and processing payment. I ordered a match latte with oat milk and it was so good. Best part? They don't up charge for oat milk substitution. I also ordered a bowl of their corn soup, which I believe is a summer special. This soup eats was so flavorful and has the consistency of a chowder but without the cream. The sweetness of the corn countered by the nice heat from the roasted poblano peppers was such a nice combination that I'm already thinking about the next time I can eat it. It was served with a nicely toasted baguette that was perfect for dunking. Although I also ordered a turkey sandwich, I was already full from the chowder and latte alone. I took the sandwich to go. I later ate half of it while stuck in afternoon traffic on my drive home. The croissant was baked fresh and that difference in quality stands out. As you can see from the picture, there are two croissants to the order. All of this food was under $25. I'd say that's a great value. Of course, I couldn't leave without picking up some of their cheese rolls to share back home. Need I say more? read more

I went to the Burbank location last time. This one we snagged a parking close to the entrance and it had a long line but they have 2 lines one in front and one in the back. We ordered some food and drinks. Strawberry matcha and mango smoothie. We ordered Cubani sandwich it was good but by the time I ate it it wasn't very warm. The stuffed potato balls with meat was yummy. I would go back for these. I also ordered meat pies, guava cheese and tres leches cake. read more

Portos is the best and a must-go whenever we visit SoCal. Must gets for us are the potato balls, cheese rolls, guava strudel and chocolate chip cookies. Honestly, everything we've had here has been amazing (eg tamales, ham and cheese croissant, cubano, guava cheese rolls). All locations are crazy crowded. Recommend ordering ahead so you don't need to wait in line. Lines move fast tho, if you do come unexpectedly. Parking here is also paid metered parking read more

This is our first time at Porto's in Glendale and it did not disappoint! This place gave us really good vibes from the moment we walked in. I think it helped that we arrived very early on a Sunday. This place opens at 6:30 AM. It wasn't too crazy busy yet but as the morning went along, it did get crazy! I think the secret is to visit this place early! We sat down at a table near the window which was really nice to be able to look out while we enjoyed our Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Sandwich, Breakfast Empanada, Spinach & Feta Empanada, Ham Croquette, Apple Strudel, Cheese Roll and Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. The food is very good with very reasonable pricing. Service is excellent, this place is extremely staffed! Shout out to Ahmed who put our order together in the best way possible with a lot of attention to detail. The seating is clean, bright and plentiful. The service staff regularly checks and maintains the cleanliness of the bathrooms. Pat Parking in the front and surrounding areas. read more

I was taking my Brother back to the airport, and we passed by Portos. I didn't know there was one up this way, but I'm glad we passed it. I came back after I dropped him off. It was about 8am on Sunday morning, and the place was PACKED! 20-30 people in both the food and coffee line. I got myself some pastries. I got some of their guava cream cheese pastries, some chocolate chip cookies, a chocolate croissant for my wife, and a blueberry muffin. Total for 14 pastries was only $20.00. Cant beat that! How were they? Delicious! The guava cream cheese are so flaky, and not overstuffed. A perfect pastry. I reheated a few of them this morning even, in the toaster oven, and they got better! Lol. The cookies had a ton of chocolate chips in them, a little tiny crisp, but pretty soft overall. Delicious, again! The blueberry muffin was great, too! Stuffed with blueberries and nice and crumbly. A great muffin. I would definitely come back here if I was going to Burbank Airport. Shoot...even if I wasn't! If you are near a Portos in Southern CA, definitely stop. The service is fast, friendly, and the pastries are delicious and inexpensive! A winning combo! read more

First time coming here with my husband when we go to Los Angeles again I want to eat there and get the whole experience. The food was good. Was it something to be like I need to have it again no. The staff they were okay. One guy was awesome and helped me. The one who took order I don't know if he was shy or what but no smile no eye contact. The place is nice and huge. Looks clean as well. I will say try it out. read more

Absolutely loved our first experience! There is paid parking in the back of the restaurant, it was a bit hectic ordering I'd advise you look at the full menu online and know what you want. They were not able to tell me what was in some of the sandwiches or what drinks they had, and said to look online. I was already at the counter ordering though so that didn't help. Once we paid for our food they give you a buzzer and will bring g it to you if you're dining in. The food was top quality, fresh and absolutely delicious! Nice patio seating, despite the chaotic ordering process I'd go back over and over for the food! read more

I love Porto's. Their food is consistently excellent at all locations and I appreciate that their prices aren't crazy like most things these days. I came at breakfast time on a Saturday and the line was out the door. Fortunately, the line moves. It was challenging to find a table inside. The breakfast wrap was delicious and I could not get enough of the salsa that came with it. The cappuccino was the perfect accompaniment to the breakfast wrap. It was a little challenging to get a fork. I learned they only have it at the register so be sure to ask for it when you're checking out. Good job to Porto's for knowing that their food is excellent and popular and staffing their restaurant accordingly. read more

The famous Porto's. Everywhere you go in Glendale, you see people with Porto's boxes. Of course I had to go there. I found it right down the street with ample parking on the street. Once inside, it is huge with seemingly 2 areas that look similar, although one side says "Bakery". The bakery side is even bigger with more choices. In the middle is where you can order coffee. In the bakery, you can can choose breakfast sandwiches and I ordered a chorizo breakfast sandwich which was very good! We also got their famous potato balls which have meat and cheese inside. The tricky part is that they give you a buzzer and you actually have to go to another part of the store (the other side and toward the back) to pick up your sandwich. I found this place to have beautiful looking pastries which taste very good. It's convenient and the entire place is a machine with very efficient workers that get you in and out. Overall good. read more

Let's face it if anyone has anything negative to say about Portos they clearly have not traveled around enough to experience good food that is absolutely affordable. Cuban food that is so delicious on all levels that will definitely make you wanna come back for more and more just like the teal boxes that people take home with jewelry in it, and everybody recognizes it . When you go here, you get yellow boxes that everyone recognizes and takes home because it's so delicious. I have nothing bad to say about Portos as I've gone here every single time I'm in town and it's been amazingly delicious. Their desserts are absolutely stellar as well. I just wish I could eat them all. read more

Met up with some friends here today and although it's a busy spot, the staff handle the lines well! In my opinion, It's set up great for the amount of people coming through here, and the prices are amazing for how good the food is. I had to take a guava pastry home for later ;) read more

One of my all time favorite bakeries, and Porto's locations. Always very crowded, but worth it for the food. We sat outside because there was no indoor seating available. It was quite hot and close to the road, but there weren't other options. Very lively ambiance. I usually don't come here to dine in, just order bakery items, but their bakery and fresh food is both equally good. We ordered the ropa vieja plate, a sandwich and matcha latte (the jasmine blue one). The ropa vieja is one of my favorite things to get, the meat is incredibly tender and juicy. I love their rice as well, which pairs well with the meat and beans. I'm not a big fan of the plantains or caramelized banana that comes with it, just because I cant get used to the texture and sweetness. Their sandwiches are top tier, I usually get the Medianoche which is excellent ! The matcha was also pretty good, more milky and not a strong tea flavor. Still a good drink! Recommend Porto's for everyone! For bakery items, our favorite is the cheese rolls and the potato balls. They also have excellent cakes. Be prepared for busy crowded store at any location, but the service is always patient and accommodating even when packed. read more

You can never go wrong with Porto's. Always great for any event, gathering, etc. You have the option to order ahead of time for pick up if you don't want to risk standing in their long lines, which move pretty quickly. My go-tos are their cheese rolls, guava rolls, and potato balls. Their tres leches cake is my absolute favorite cake and always get it for my birthdays. Their entree options are pretty solid as well. Their ropa vieja plate is my favorite which comes with stewed beef, rice, beans, and plantains. Plenty of parking options. The metered parking by the restaurant is usually taken but there are lots of parking structures nearby. read more

Family barbecue... I was asked to bring dessert, what better than this amazing fruit tart from Porto's! Obviously had to come early to beat the crowds, as this place is not only busy but extremely popular! I have to admit on the several times we have come, excellent customer service every single time! Obviously, we ordered a few other items that are our favorites - chicken and ham, croquettes, meat pies, and of course, a chocolate chip cookie! Obviously, everybody loved and enjoyed dessert, thanks Portos! read more

We've also ordered online frozen ones to bake at home but it's simply not the same as getting it among the busy ordering line chaos...ha! read more

Did you even go to LA if you didn't stop by Porto's It's always a long line but moves quickly. Staff is helpful and welcoming. Meter parking outside but we chose to park in the neighborhood and walk over. Very big and plenty of seating inside. They're known for their pastries but also have cakes, drinks and sandwiches. Our go-to pastry items are the potato croquet, guava and cheese strudel - flaky and flavorful. Would love to try the tuna melt next time since it seemed to be another popular item! I've previously also ordered their frozen pastries online and had it shipped to my home to bake which was a simple and easy process to follow read more

Haven't been to a Porto's for a while, but today I needed to taste test various savory items for me to decide what to bring for a company potluck. I ordered couple of each item, including some I've never tried, and took them home. Old favorites like potato balls tasted just like I remembered. I then took a bite of an item I've never tried, the breakfast empanada. I didn't get to the filling on the first bite, so I was thinking this must be like the meat pie, and took one more bite. I then realized half way through the empanada that filling is missing! The inside didn't look anything like the picture or the youtube videos I've watched. Just airy croissant-like dough with no chorizo, egg, or cheese I was expecting. It was one of the few items I've never tried, so imagine my disappointment. I've took couple pics of it if you want to see what I mean. read more

I love Porto's! Their staff are always welcoming, accommodating and willing to make you feel at home. I recently tried their Tuna Melt and it's delicious! I love how they don't skimp out on the tuna quantity. I also really liked their clam chowder. And of course my go-to's are the refugiados, the cheese and guava pastries. This location holds a close place in my heart because it's the original location, before they expanded. Metered Parking available behind Porto's. read more

Everyone raves about the cubano, potato balls, and pastries but I think the tuna melt is the best item on the menu. Very sad that it's seasonal, but it's back now :p Might be the best tuna melt in LA. If you know of a better tuna melt for $8.99, might I trouble you to send your suggestions my way? The green onion to tuna ratio is most judiciously correct. The roasted poblano & red pepper sourdough is toasted to perfection - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, the slight tang of the bread creates the most divine taste. Simple ingredients, but their marriage proves far greater than any of the ingredients alone. The employees are most helpful, and today I learned you need not wait in line if ordering any of the hot foods (sandwiches, combo plates, etc). The line is only necessary should you wish to have a pastry or anything in the cases. I love people watching outside, with the sounds of lively salsa blaring in the background. Line is pretty long during lunch time on the weekdays, but I'm usually in and out within 30 minutes. Not sure of the parking situation but I usually park in the neighborhood and walk over. read more

I touched down in the LA area at 7 AM and I was looking for a great spot for breakfast. AI recommended Porto's bakery and Café because of its popularity and the fact that they had a location close to my hotel. I was so impressed! It's obviously a very busy restaurant, but they have two locations to order and they move the line so quickly because you first order from the bakery and then you can order sandwiches and coffee when you get to the register. For dine in your order is brought to your table. I wanted to try a sampling of everything so we ordered two different breakfast sandwiches, a cinnamon roll and two of their Cuban inspired breaded potato balls. We added two coffees to our order and our total ended up being somewhere around $30 which I felt was amazing. I was so glad that we ordered a variety of food options and baked items and wished I would've had the appetite to eat more because everything I had was delicious and unique and everything in the cases looked just as delicious. Food quality, service, wonderful atmosphere Portos bakery, and Café has it all. read more

Overall 3.5 stars I had heard amazing things about this bakery so while we lived in LA, we had to try this spot! The parking wasn't too bad, and this spot was crowded! I mean the line was about 40 mins or so, but we were determined. Inside gets loud and busy. We tried a few of their baked goods, the smaller cakes (tiramisu and something with guava), along with their potato balls. The food didn't live up to the hype in my opinion. Perhaps i felt like that becuase the wait wasn't worth it, but i had mixed feelings about the flavor and the taste of everything. The customer service was excellent through, they are thorough and have a great system going to manage crowds. Overall I am glad I got to try this spot that I had been meaning to try for so long read more
