"For anyone who’s ever stepped foot in Southern California, Porto’s should need no introduction. In the event you’re hosting someone brand new, a visit to this iconic Cuban bakery is a bucket list activity. Every morning, people line up for guava pastries, potato balls, and deep-fried papa rellenos. Even when crowds snake around the corner though, the efficient operation will have you in, out, and eating pastries in 10-15 minutes. Most importantly though there are now locations all over the Southland, including Burbank, Downey, and Buena Park." - brant cox
