Place gets packed so either go with time to spare or come early before 12 or late after 3. Love their Steak Tortas or the Sirloin Salad w/a Iced Vanilla Coffee . Tons of cheap pastries to choose from!

Deborah Abib

Finally I had the chance to try the famous Porto's! And it's excellent. I ordered the Cubanito, the seafood potato ball and the steak empanadas . Next time I'll get the plate of chicken . It looks????

If you're after a classic Cuban sandwich , try the medianoche , made with roast pork , ham , mustard , Swiss cheese , and dill pickles served on soft, sweet bread similar to challah , then head to Porto's. Read more

The pastries are divine! Food made fresh daily. Don't let long lines deter you; they move pretty fast. Plus it's worth the wait. Friendly , efficient & patient staff . Authentic Cuban food at its best!

sara mae pickle

i highly recommend ordering 1 of each little pastry (fruit tart especially) to go. then, throw on comfy clothes , pour some bubbly, & eat to ur hearts content! The best part- it’s all calorie free ????????

geraldine liscano

Their bake goods here are really really good! ❤️ Just want to live inside the bakeshop! ???? The line is always long no matter where Porto's branch you are. Plan to come-in really to avoid these lines .

Aron Ortega

Best OJ ever. Medianoche and Ropa Vieja sandwiches are delicious! Fried plantains , a must. You have to get the papas rellenas and the rellenitos. For sweets, the mixed fruit tart is my favorite!

Debbie Monroe

The potato balls are my favorite but I can't leave without a coffee cake and cinnamon crumb bunt cake . Everything here is delicious and reasonably priced. Good value for your money!

Carol

Love the potato balls , chicken coxinha, and guava strudel , and basically everything here! Either order online for pickup or go early and wait in line . ????

LAist

Their chicken empanada is a crowd-pleaser, especially when you order a platter of the party-sized ones. Or you may want to go the sweet route with their apple , mango or pineapple versions. Read more

Brad Hager

Good place, very crowded , long lines that move relatively fast, great attentive, friendly staff . The beef potato ball is awesome. The cheese roll is AMAZING!! The fresh orange juice is a MUST!! ????????❤️

Isaac Cruz

The food is worth the wait. You can never go wrong with their potato balls , rellenitos, and meat pies . Great sandwiches that never disappoint, and breads galore.

Veronica Chavira

Long lines during any time of day but worth the wait! Potato balls are a popular appetizer and you MUST order a pastry like the cheese or guava roll and a dessert like the triple chocolate mousse .

Odile Roujol

If you go to ikea Burbank from Hollywood hills , best deal ever. Coffee , chocolate twist , and cakes for friends for dinner . Smoothie are freshly made

Food Network

One of the most popular is the dulce de leche Bundt cake , a vanilla sponge cake filled with caramel and topped with a dulce de leche glaze. In addition to the towering cakes . Read more

Please check your potato ball (chicken also) orders before leaving! I got 4 ice cold potato balls my last visit.

Nina N

Fancy looking cafe and bakery with tons of things to choose from. The checkered chocolate mousse cake is amazing! Also the plantain sides for the sandwiches at the cafe are good as well .

Jeff Johnson

One of the most interesting and amazing bakery experiences you can have - anywhere. Taste sensations abound.

Kat Levy

Potato balls & red velvet cupcakes ...all you need to know about Porto's! Usually pretty crowded , but always worth it. Also lots of really cute vintage shops further down Magnolia for after you eat :)

Jae Monteiro

I can go on & on about this place but I just wanted to take a moment to rave about something I introduced myself to during my last visit-their WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA ! 1st one I like more than Starbucks

Allison Clarke

22 years in the valley and i finally got around to coming here. absolutely amazing and so cheap ! medianoche sandwich is a must. cant go wrong here. service was great even though they were pakced.

Ardyss

Everything is great! But I can't leave without a box of banana chips and a fruit tart . My mom would say she can't leave without 15 potato balls , five other pastries , and a steak torta .

Everything looks Delish! Very busy in the afternoon but the staff is friendly & organized . I got the Mango Smoothie , Chix Croquette & Potato Ball = yummy! I Recommend :)

George Escobar

The crumb cake is out of this world. The cheese cake is awesome and the Media Noche sandwich is a must have. New fave...The Brioche is TDF

Jennie Dinh

Potato balls had nicely spiced ground beef mixture. Cheese rolls , coconut roll, meat pie , turkey croissant , pan con lechon sandwich , creme brûlée , and the Cuban sandwich were all DELICIOUS.

Jennifer

If you want to skip the bakery line , the sandwich line is often less crowded ; you can order baked goods there as well . I'll have one of everything, please. Plus a potato ball .

Nattu Daoud

Get a sandwich and get a few pastries as an appetizers and for the house. I suggest potato balls , meat pies and guava pastries . The mango smoothie is unbelievable. Enjoy!

Nate Tinner

The flank steak plate is life-changing, dang near. And of course, the pastries are famous for a reason.

Roxy Corbu

I have no words for their pastries , whenever I am in LA I try to stop every time and try a new pastry and I am amazed every time.

Starry Kitchen

ALL the tips say it all & SK faves are no different = Cheese Roll , GUAVA Cheese Roll , Potato Balls & most cakes

Minerva Ganges

As a girl raised in Miami surrounded by Cuban restaurants and married to a Cuban, I know a good Cuban place when I see it! Everything was delicious specially the pastelitos de queso ! 5 stars

Liana Fong

A line already forms once opening. Guava cheese strudels , potato balls , meat pies , and more! People leave with boxes of this stuff.

Edykat

People who visit LA must pay a visit to the best bakery store here. The pastries is unbelievable yummy, quality quality !! Not it be miss!!!

JNET

Call ahead 24 hours in advanced to skip the long lines when ordering for a get together :). Line for pick up is at the very end of the bakery where the stairs are and moves quickly !

Jim Sepe

What's good here? Everything! My favorites are macaroons and potato balls . Get there at 6:30am for easy parking and shorter lines

Kristy Carnegie

The Ham n Cheese Omelette Croissant is Delish, huge enough for two n order fresh fruit too, n Cinnamon Rolls so Tasty :)! Good Chai LAtte 's ???? ☕????also!

Jake Bern

1) Any pastry w/ guavo in it is to die for!2) The CUBAno combo is most excellente; plaintain chips just perfecto!!3) I lived in Cuba & never ate anything they serve, sandwich or sweet.4) Def GO!

Sheguina Dravk Moreira

Guava and cheese pastries and Cuban medioniche don't get any better than this. Don't be discouraged by the long line . It goes fast! Worth the wait!

Boaz Maor

Don’t be swayed by the long line - it is always there and it moves very fast - AND it is so worth it!

Annie D.

So delicious! Every pastry , sweet, and sandwich is worth every penny. Cannot get enough of their scrumptious treats. By far the best in the valley!

Marlon Alaan

Always has long lines but moves fast. Love the guava & cheese rolls !

Angela Faulkner

The polvarones cookies are AMAZING!! They are like a super airy shortbread and sugar cookie combined. Doesn't look like much but don't be fooled - great taste!!!

Jordyn

Very reasonably priced and VERY delicious. Order anything - it's all good. It gets crowded , but the line moves quickly.

Aid Mendoza

Try their Potato balls , tres leche , tiramisu and caramel flan ! So good i wanna buy all their pastries . Hope they have it here in SF too. :)

steve t

The place has a name everyone recognizes and the pastries creativity and taste back it up. I give props to those hard workers, both in the front and behind the scenes.

T Desir

My first experience was during the weekend. The lines were popping outside the entrance. It did not take long to order & food was delicious

Antone Johnson

I like to call this place Gordo's -- it's not the best choice if you're on a diet, but damn it's good! Croquetas de pollo are da bomb, and don't skip the pastries or coffee .

Ari McIntyre

You can't beat the cakes they make here. Every single time light & fluffy! Love this place.

Greta Anderson
