Porto's Bakery and Cafe

My family and I love the amazing cheese rolls from this place! Even with the long lines, it's always worth the wait. We got there after 7 and it was still packed. This one's bigger than the others, and it's got such a great vibe. You gotta try it.

The best bakery in LA. We came to Porto’s every time we are in LA. The place is so popular that we visited a Saturday night 10 minutes before close and there was still quite some people lining up, and there is a reason! All the bakeries are so good and reasonably priced. Especially the cheese rolls and the potato balls. I just hope they can open up one in my area!

There are no 2nd competition like Potos Bakery. Cuban families had dreams and their dreams definitely came through. Best bakery intown. Their bakery quality outstanding , service excellent and atmosphere awesome. I would strongly recommend to visit this place and test it out. Keep up the great work 👍

It’s always great to come back here. Awesome food and great service Despite the long lines, you get your order pretty fast at all times. And the desserts are absolutely delicious (like everything else in this place)

Where do I start. This place is so cash. I’m probably returning again tomorrow morning and the next. My mind is blown by their efficiency. This shouldn’t be logistically possible but here we are. There are at least 100 people working inside this place (I counted). The line moves quickly, food comes quickly, there’s a system and a process for everything to avoid delays… these guys are good

As always such a treat to get food from here. Savories, sweets sandwiches all so good. To see them spread out and having to choose is so difficult. Cubano was sour and the Spicy Chicken Milanese was great but not so spicy. Ropa Veja was also tasty. . The bread on all these… perfect. Mango shake was better than the Passion Guava. It gets very crowded at lunch time. You cannot order sandwiches online. The drinks they make when you pick them up.

Love this place, the food OMG so so Delicious 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 From the Potato Ball® (Papa Rellena), Guava Strudel (Pastelito de Guayaba), Spicy Chicken Milanesa Sandwich, Parisian Cake Slice, Yummy!!! 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤😋😋🤤🤤😋🤤🤤😋😋

I visited it 3 times while I was staying in Downey and visiting places nearby. There was always a line everytime (all 3 times were different : lunch dinner and late night ) but the lines moves fast with two sides of counter dealing with incoming customers. The bakery is good , coffee was just okay ,but good variety and inexpensive so could try different items every time. Loved :Guava rose pastry,Tiramisu cup,Mango Mousse bomb ,Chocolate hazelnut eclair (just so yumm),chocolate eclair(great),tres leche slice, and sandwich was nice.Definitely must go place when nearby . We did try the cheese potato balls but as it has meat (which we don't eat) so had to leave that.

Great food and amazing service! We had Remy as a server and it was the best service I've had here at this location! Great job Porto's with your staff ! I will definitely be returning soon!

I came in today to try the breakfast didn't disappoint. I was helped by two young man one named Jeremy and Jack. Jeremy helped me by bringing my drinks and Jack helped deliver my food. I would come back to eat more delicious food.

Great worker Jason 10/10 service very attentive and nice! Food was good too. Amazing spot overall

Porto's has great choice of pastries and cakes. This place always has long but fast moving lines. There are separate lines for just cakes and for everything else. There is plenty of seating inside and on the outdoor patio. The ambiance is lively and welcoming. You can also order ahead for pick up. From the savory section, the potato ball, cheese and spicy potato ball, meat pie and sweet corn croquette are all delicious. From the sweet section- cheese roll, guava and apple strudels are great. You can't go wrong with milk n' berry or the Parisian chocolate cake.

Based on one visit with i out from family that comes here a fair amount. This is a local chain of about half a dozen locations that has interesting history and roots starting with the founder, Rosa Porto leaving Cuba and moving to California. According to what I read online, She couldn't find a job as a baker due to the fact she was a woman so she started her own business. And so it began. The restaurant we visited in Buena Park is modern, stylish and the largest cafe of this type I have ever seen. It's not quaint or quiet if thats what you are looking for. What it is.....is an amazing machine that creates wonderful pastries, cakes, sandwiches and pretty good coffee. As we are from Ohio We ordered a number of cakes, pastries, coffees and croquettes as we would eat them during the week as we are staying with family here. Everything we had was good to great. What I was even more impressed by was the operations of this place. A massive kitchen with a army if staff working in harmony to produce the food. Wow. There are many places to sit or take it to go like many seem to do. There are a few drawbacks. One, is it is confusing to order and learn how to order. There are three lines, two large and one for a cafe.the large lines have the sandwiches, cakes and pasties and the cafe has coffee and it seems certain (all?) pastries. Our family told us order sandwiches cakes and pastries as well as coffee at one of the two large lines then pick up coffee at the cafe......but if you only want a coffee and a pastry, you can order at the cafe. Would have never figured that out on my own. The other challenge is this place is a victim of its own success: It is CRAZY crowded...even on less busy days. On holidays that lines go out the building and around the block. You can decide if it is worth it as each persons tolerance for crowds varies, mine is low. The parking lot is huge but finding a spot is an adventure. No kidding, they need a parting garage. I have been all over the world and never seen a cafe this large and busy. I must say even if you don't like stressful parking situations and large crowds, come here once. Its a spectacle. The place we visited in Buena Park is basically a cafe adventure park. Modern and with good food. I thinks Rosa would never have imagined her business would become this successful.

7:30am on a Friday morning and the crowd for a Porto's never disappoints! We got here and parked at the back parking structure since there were many cars parked already. We came in and lined up at the cafe line to order ourselves some drinks (matcha tea lattes) and a fresh fruit tart. You can choose nondairy milks such as soy, almond, or oat. The interior of this Porto's is clean, organized, and I see staff picking up small bits of trash on the floor if needed. For pick-up/online orders, you walk in to the left. If you don't know though, there are staff to help guide you in which direction to go. There's no pets allowed inside but you can still bring your dogs out and enjoy in the ourdoor patio seating. We waited a while to take our order, since there was only 1 person taking them, so despite only 3 people in front of us on line, it took quite a while. However getting our orders went by quickly compared to taking them and we got to lounge and enjoy! The drinks were smooth, creamy, and they also have paper straws but I'd much rather prefer sipping through the lids. You pick up the drinks from the coffee bar area by the way. I also noticed that there's servers with trays that hand out drinks or your food to your table so I don't know what constitutes getting that service VS waiting next to the bar to hear your name getting called.

Porto's always gets it right the staff is always very nice friendly very attentive. Food are always very yummy along with great desserts along with yummy coffee it's a ten across the board. The decor is cool and very clean...

This Porto's Location has always been one of my favorites and nostalgic one for me. I remember coming by here when it first opened and it was such a nice spot. The parking garage nearby is a plus since all Porto's are ALWAYS busy. The location here runs very efficiently and the lines move quick. The customer service from the staff is phenomenal. The location is spacious. The inside has plenty of tables. The outdoor seating as well has table all around the building. Porto's is constantly adding new food items and drinks. There's so many items to choose from in terms of pastries, cakes, sandwiches and drinks. There's gonna be something for everyone! On a recent visit, we decided to dine in and try some new things. The line moved fairly quickly for busy Saturday evening. This trip I tried the Clam Chowder inside the sourdough bread bowl. I'm not sure if this was a new item, but I wanted to try it. The clam chowder was freaking delicious! The presentation looked good and the taste of the chowder was luscious. The bowl reminded me of the Disneyland Clam Chowder bowl. The chowder wasn't too salty and the bacon was delectable. The sourdough bread was airy and crispy. No complaints! Porto's Downey is a top tier location!

Don't get me wrong: I love Porto's for their inexpensive prices for cheese rolls, potato balls, and sandwiches! However, my experience with this Porto's location was extremely disappointing. How does this location run out of potato balls at 3pm on a Tuesday?! So absurd!! That's absolutely unacceptable, especially when I had to drive over 30 minutes to this location, specifically to get their popular pastries. Knowing that potato balls are one of their more popular items, their staff should have better production management of it for their customers. Do better Porto's at Downey. The wait at this location is also SO long because the workers are so clueless and don't know how to hustle. There's no sense of urgency in them. I definitely recommend the Glendale location more than this one. The workers at the Glendale location are quick on their feet and on multiple occasions, have given me extra pieces of cheese rolls and potato balls free of charge. Even though it is farther than the Downey location, I would much rather drive to Glendale next time for quicker service and GUARANTEED potato balls in the middle of the day. Only pro about this location: free parking, clean and spacious with lots of seating inside and outside.

Satisfied my craving! I'm so glad that they deliver to Torrance (via Postmates). Total game changer.

As someone not even living in California, Porto's is so well known, that I knew this was a spot I needed to visit when I came to town. And it exceeded my expectations! First of all, the extent of the menu itself can already be so overwhelming just because there are so many options. And they all look so good! And then second of all, ok good food yeah but it's California, surely it will be expensive. Nope, I was surprised by how cheap everything was! And thirdly, the food itself was delicious. Nothing is too sweet, the pastries hold up really well the next day, and the savory menu items really hit the spot. Some things to note: It seems a little inconsistent with what they heat up for you, so you might have to say something if you want your order warmed up. The iced strawberry matcha green tea latte was really good. But I didn't taste as much matcha as I did strawberry. The cheese and spicy peppers potato ball wasn't really spicy at all.

The staff is a well oiled machine here at Porto's in Downey. Service is friendly and efficient, and of course the baked good are delicious! I wanted to walk in and buy a cake for a birthday on a Saturday around 10am. I was not prepared for the long line that wrapped a couple times inside & lead outside. Plus, when I checked their website, online orders were backed up until 2:30pm. I decided to wait on line for a little so see how it went, and I'm glad I did! It only took me about 5 mins to wait outside and about another 8 minutes inside until I was helped at the counter. Getting baked goods to go is quick, but drinks do take a bit longer, since some are made to order. I have never eaten here so I can't speak to that. But the interior is nice and open, and it would be nice for brunch/lunch! If you are taking goods to go and can remember to order online pick up ahead, I highly recommend that, but if not, know that the line does move pretty quick!

Wow, this particular places was PACKED in a Sunday. But dont worry, the lines are fast and efficient. You wait in the long line, once it's your turn, you place all your orders with the staff and they will get everything for you. You the pay and head on your way. Do try their sandwiches. My favorite is their turkey sandwich! It is so devine! Of course, grab a dozen cheese rolls (or two) and dont forget to get some of their potato balls, guava cheese rolls, and them plantain chips!

This was my first time ever here and let me Tell you I will be back! My goodness they have such good food! My favorite was the mango burst and the honey vanilla matcha latte! The service was nice and our lady who helped us was beyond amazing with her customer service! Next time for a full experience I will dine in

This is sad!!!! Ordered a ham n cheese croissant. Just look at what i received. I know everything is going up but this is just sad!!!!!!! Staff is always super friendly and helpful thou.

I've been going to Porto's for so many years now, and I never get enough of it. Porto's is a family owned Cuban Bakery and Café with roots in Cuba. The first bakery opened in the US in 1976 with the first Location in Echo Park. It is the creation of Rosa Porto, an immigrant from Cuba. The Location that i like to visit is the Buena Park one. Their stores are large and very well laid out and organized, with the coffee shop separated from the Café and from the Bakery. It is always packed. The atmosphere is fun and very lively. As you walk in, you are greeted by a smiley and friendly host who directs you to the shortest of 2 ordering lines. As you walk in, you can also see the bakers through a window, working on their craft. Inside, you feel like you are in a large food court in a foreign Country. They offer delicious fast food versions of traditional Cuban dishes such as Pollo Asado (Grilled Chicken) and Ropa Vieja which are my 2 favorite plates on the Café menu. The Chicken is tender and is topped with a Lemony, tomato and herb salsa. The Ropa Vieja is a shredded beef cooked to perfection in a tomato based sauce. Plates are served with a side of steam rice, black beans and Maduras (fried sweet plantain). And Sandwiches are served with plantain chips. Dip the rice into any of the sauces and add a piece of chicken or Shredded beef for a full burst of flavors in your mouth. They also have really good soups and salads. But what they are most known for is the Bakery. They make beautiful and unique cakes for all occasions. They have a ton of delicious individual french style baked goods such as the éclair and much more. They also have all types of breads including baguettes. They have bite size goods such as guava rolls, empanadas and potato balls. The options are endless. The coffee shop has all sorts of specialty coffee mixes. And they also have really good smoothies. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. And in a world of inflation, their prices are so reasonable. In fact. I don't think that they have increased at all. It's one of the happiest places if not the happiest place that I've visited over the years. I Love Porto's bakery, i highly recommend it and i will keep going back

LA's pride and joy, Porto's does not disappoint! It really is the perfect cafe to pick up birthday or festive baked goods from! I love their coffee, their tres leches cake, and empanada. The cheese ball with veggies inside was not good. There was a longggg line but the service was good and efficient!

We got a: - cubano - medianoche - 6 potato balls - 2 guava & cheese pastries - 1 multigrain loaf All for $35! Their prices are reasonable and the flavors are good. The medianoche is good, the bread is solid. I wish it came with more chips. The guava & cheese pastry was very light on the guava though. And the potato balls are probably what they're most known for. The ones are this location aren't the best I've had of the various Porto's. This location is BUSY on weekends. Line out the door, down the block busy. The line moves quickly though & you can order for pickup to avoid it. They're very efficient and the service is good. Lots of seating inside. Lots of free parking nearby.

Today was my first visit at Porto's and I was blown away by the size of the place. It's a huge page and it's very busy so I knew it was going to be good! The prices are so affordable too, I got 2 single-serve tartar and a latte for less than $15 which is a great price considering the high quality of the desserts, the cleanliness and popularity of the place. The choice was very difficult to make because every dessert is mouth watering but the mango mousse and fruit tarte are SO YUMMY and have so many levels of flavors. This cafe is 1000% a must visit in LA.

Ah, this review update has been in my drafts for some time so, I had to clear my drafts out. A plethora of reviewers have consistently raved about the food from the savory potato balls, sandwiches, meat pies to the delicious sweets in the bakery. All of it is solid. My favorite reigning champ is the potato ball with ground beef. There is also the seasonal turkey potato ball which I've tried a while back, tasty but not my favorite. As for sweets, the cheese roll pastry is delicious! The weekend lines are long but the staff keeps it moving. Staff that I have encountered are super efficient and nice. Parking in the nearby structure is very busy. If you are not a fan of the structure and okay with walking a block or two, street parking is available. 4 stars.

Walking in to Porto's for the first time is an experience all its own. The noise, crowds, and smells take you over. The food is amazing. I had a steak torta. Wife had the Apple pomegranate salad. Service is second to none. The constant flow of people keeps this place alive with plenty of people watching. Enjoy the ambiance and remember this food. You will be back.

It was my first time at the downey location and I was surprised at how easy and accessible parking is. Granted we came at 5pm on a weekday and I'm certain it is probably a bit more difficult during their peak hours. Line was quick to order our food and desserts. I absolutely love the quality of the bread. Each sandwich had the perfect softness and crunch with each bite. Fernanda who was working the dining area was sweet and attentive to everyone. They also had latin music playing in the background! I was totally feeling their music selection. Everyone who knows Portos loves it. Tip- take a sweater. It gets cold inside.

Another great Porto's run! Picked up just a few things from.the bakery. It is always very busy but the lines move quickly. The staff is amazing and never once have they made an error! We love their sandwiches, especially the Cubana! The bakery items, cakes, breads (sourdough is our favorite), croissants, coffee caKe, meat pies, and Guava pastries are the regular items we get from Porto's. We also order their frozen items for baling at home!

finally a new location visit for me since I almost 10/10 times go to the burbank or glendale location only. so I was very excited to see this new store front and compare it to the others. When you walk in the same concept as the rest. two lines and barista center right in the middle. Same menu, same lines, same quality tasting baked goods! so of course I got the cheese rolls and guava cheese rolls. Along with the other pick ups that I normally get. However, this was my first time seeing the horchata cold brew so I couldn't pass that up at all this time and ordered it. the horchata cold brew was sooo goood! It had the perfect blend of sugar and cinnamon! I enjoyed every sip of it! Service is great, fast, and very easy! Just say parking sucks here but if your lucky you can find parking in the back in the small garage they have. Thanks portos for another great visit and great tasting baked goods and coffee!

Portos is a well known bakery. Their lines are insanely long, almost at any time of the day. This time I came here right before they closed on a Thursday night and it was packed. The prices are pretty decent and I like that you can find a variety of pastries. Tried the raspberry macarron and the cream was fluffy and not too sweet. The raspberries were a great addition, however the bottom of the cookie was a bit wet and soggy. Also tried the dulce de Leche cake. It was a bit too sweet for my liking but the bread was most and flavorful. The workers are all really nice and attentive. They do their best to get the line moving quickly.

I've been enjoying Porto's for some years now, but I haven't had a chance to write a review! The last time I visited this Portos location was on Wednesday, October 9th a little after 9:30 AM to pick up some goodies for my coworkers' birthday. This place was sure packed on a weekday morning. I easily placed an order and paid online at 6:30 AM (right when it opened) for pickup later in the morning. I ordered the following (prices as of October 2024): ++Dozen Cheese Roll - $12.95 - Puff pastry with European-style butter with signature cream cheese filling, topped with sugar. - Buttery goodness, this is so yummy! Definitely leans on the sweeter side. It's tasty when warmed up or by itself in regular room temperature. ++Dozen Potato Ball - $15.85 - Potato puree filled with original picadillo (Cuban style ground beef with onion, bell pepper, olive and Spanish seasonings) with a crispy panko crust - More bang for your buck when you buy in dozens vs one by one. I love these potato balls, especially with some ketchup lol. So good. They also came piping hot so don't forget to air out the box when you deliver them (the box was warped when I brought it out). ++ Chocolate Raspberry Round - $31.75 - chocolate cake layered with signature whipped choc ganache + raspberry jam. Finished with dark choc ganache + white/dark choc curls. - Delicious, this was the first time I tried this cake. Since my in-laws usually order the Parisian Chocolate Round. This cake is decadent, definitely leans on the sweet side. But, I like how this cake is a mix of chocolate with a small layer of fruity raspberry jam. I also ordered separately: ++2x Almond Croissant $5.30 - Croissant made with Euro style butter filled with almond cream and topped wit sliced CA almonds and powdered sugar - This was the first time trying an almond croissant from Portos and it did not disappoint. It was a decent size and hit the spot. ++2x Meat Pie $2.80 - Puff pastry filled with picadillo -Pretty yummy, my husband wolfed it down when I brought it back home. The interior is the same as the regular potato balls ++Refugiado $1.35 - Guava and Cheese Roll - Puff pastry with signature cream cheese filling and guava jam -A classic, I always like guava cheese rolls from Portos. I ended up gifting this to my coworker :) Parking: They have their own parking structure available, which can get busy with people coming in and out. Since this was the first time I came to this store by myself, I actually parked in a nearby lot not too far away. This lot was a little bit more calm to get in and out. Tip: I highly recommend placing an online order for pickup. Unfortunately, you can only do this on the same day, but it saved me a lot of time coming into the store since the pickup line moved faster than the regular line. All in all, I'll definitely consider coming back the next time I'm craving Portos!

Portos is my go to spot for delicious breakfast and pastries on the go. The items I regularly order are: potato balls, cheese rolls, plantain chips, and the cubano sandwich. For cakes, I really like their mango mousse cake and the milk n berries cake. I recently tried their pumpkin cheesecake... boy is it delicious!! Possibly my favorite pumpkin cheesecake so far! It's made with a chocolate cookie crumb pie crust, the flavor is on point and it's not overwhelmingly sweet. I wish I bought the whole pumpkin cheesecake but that would be a bad idea lol Service is always fast, nice and on point. I haven't had any bad experiences at any of their locations yet. The lines are long but it always goes by quick. The parking lot is busy but I've always had luck with finding a spot since there's a lot of people leaving. Definitely worth the trip!

Don't sleep on their salads! Their seasonal salad is very good! It comes with parmesan, candied pecans, mixed fresh greens, apples, pomegranate, chicken. The veggies are always fresh. I dont even need dressing it's flavorful without dressing Porto's does it again , love coming here for lunch. Although you need at least 1 hr lunch break to be able to eat here. You have to park, wait in line, order, pay and wait for food. Not fast food.

Porto's is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant!!!! The selection of pastries isincredible, with a variety of traditional Cuban treats that were both visually appealing and delicious. I always get the besitos, and they were absolutely divine - buttery, and filled with Dulce de leche. My wife absolutely loved the Dulce de leche latte, she said it was the best coffee she's ever tried. I know the place is very chaotic but it's always worth it for me!

As soon as you walk in you're immediately greeted and helped. I ordered two dozen cheese rolls, a dozen potato balls, a fruit tart, and other random pastries. On the right side, it looks like they have more pastries/options on display than the left cafe side. Lines moved really fast and they're so efficient with each step. The female took our order and proceeded to prepare our goodies. I love that she double checked if I wanted to add anything extra after packing the goodies because while waiting I was getting tempted but would have felt bad ordering more when she already had finished. We got checked out immediately and was on our way. I like how they provided baking instructions My favorites are the cheese rolls and potato balls. Everything was so pretty and I'm sure just as tasty. I didn't get to try everything immediately but the fruit tart was good even after sitting for a bit. This place is so spacious with plenty of seating. Watching the workers was like watching a well oiled machine. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. Come grab a dozen pastries and be on your way or order an empanada and some coffee as you sit and take in the world.

I'm from California and wanted a special cake to be delivered to Michigan where he's playing ball this summer. Five stars I will give for ordering easily, arrived on time and on his actual bday. If you want fresh, tasty and homemade look up Porto's Bakery & Cafe. I miss their food especially empanadas! Hit like maybe they will send me some

I've been coming to this location (Downey) for years, even after they opened the West Covina location (which I'm closer to) and this is still my favorite. The music here is incredible, makes me feel like I'm in Cuba. The service is top tier, as they are patient with you when choosing your items. Plus, they take the food and beverage to your table. Fernanda was a gem, as she came around to check on us. We had the Cubano (which is a staple), with a crispy bread, pickles and mustard. We also had the steak Torta which is loaded with meat and salsa. We tried 3 flavors of the potato ball, Regular, cheese and pepper and turkey and gravy (which taste like thanksgiving in a ball!) The spinach and feta empanada which a little too much bread, not enough filling. The drinks were amazing, dulce de leches is my favorite and the mango smoothie is as you're biting into a juice mango. The service was quick and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

This Porto's location was absolutely cute and cozy. It was SLAMMED on the thursday morning that I had gone in. Food and beverage was great! I did wait 30+ minutes for my matcha to go which stunk but the food was great. Wait time is so hit or miss at each location you kinda just have to hope for the best.

This establishment is always crazy busy so I stay away from this place as best as I can. Today is not one of those days, I am happy to report that although still quite busy during lunch on a weekday I was able to place my order in less than 10 minutes. It's a bit of a hassle if you order coffee, you have to wait for the coffee at a separate place and then walk on over to the other side for your food. This used to be the place where I would get birthday cakes, the fruit tart cake is really good here. That being said it's an easy process to order cakes online and pick up. The boy enjoyed his milanesa sandwich and I enjoyed my cup of cortado with half the sweetener. I can't see myself returning anytime soon but my experience was pleasant enough.

Porto's is a LA institution that almost all Angelenos probably know about. They've become so popular that they're even opening one up in Downtown Disney. Anyway, there's no need to comment on how much people like the desserts and food here. For this night, we just got some chocolate cookies, a blueberry muffin, and a croissant, although our go-to is to usually get one of their delicious cakes, such as the fruit tart or something else. And as stated, they are all delicious at a very reasonable price, but what I think Porto's also does well is try and manage the massive crowds that are here all the time by ensuring that there are lines to be followed and not too many people inside at once. If you're new to Porto's, it's definitely a place you should try out.

Second time I tried Porto's, first time to an actual location. This trip, I had the mango mousse and guava lemonade. I am so glad I saw this lemonade. I was just going to get a hot tea. This was amazing! I'd love to try a meal here next time. Line was very long on a Saturday, but overall not too bad.

If you're looking for the Ube Match, this location doesn't have it. Only low rating due to inaccurate updates from business. Saw that other people were ordering the Ube Matcha from their West Covina location and it has returned. I didn't catch it last season and really wanted to try it. I checked Yelp page for this location and it was updated from business that Ube Matcha was back as well. We tried to order Ube Matcha and staff told us they don't have it and it was replaced by Pumpkin Spice this season. West Covina have both Ube Matcha and Pumpkin Spice. We chose to come to this location as it was on the way to work. We needed a cake for someone special. We love their Milk N' Berry! If you like tres leches type of cakes, you would love it too. If you don't like wet cakes, stray away. Mamey Shake- my colleague loves it, they described it similar to a papaya. I beg to differ and didn't like it one bit, it tasted more like a really sweet creamy carrot shake. Try it for yourself.

Porto's is an automatic first place to go when visiting the area. It's truly amazing to see the amount of people that are willing to stand in line to order boxes of delicious baked goods, or sandwiches, or even specialty drinks. And service is awesome because they really move the lines and are patient and friendly as they serve their customers. The baked goods are awesome. The sandwiches are awesome. The drinks are awesome. There's always a table available to dine. I haven't tried their cakes, but again, there's a line so it must be delicious. It's very lively and happy place to see and hear the people enjoying a wonderful meal at Porto's.

I've been here maybe 4 times times. And every time I come here I get my usual items. I get the potato balls, spinach and cheese pastry, empanadas and some cheese rolls. I went home and I got someone else's order. The crazy part of it is she read all my items to me and charged me. So she got it right on paper but unfortunately she grabbed the wrong box. The other disappointed item was the cake. Before you were able to order custom cakes. Now you basically get one size and it's any of the small cakes they have . So I left without ordering a cake.

The food is always good. Service is great, and the seating area is spacious. Their menu is extensive with many great options.

Porto's is just a staple! All their pastries are delicious and their turkey croissant sandwich is my favorite! Service is pretty fast and they are super helpful. This location it's a little smaller but never disappoints!

Jacqueline and Alejandra were amazing, nice and so helpful. For a place that can get really busy, they made it easy to get my food,

Maybe it was because it was sprinkling that morning, but the line was shorter and quicker that morning. Employees made sure to keep the floor dry and clean. Samira, the lady who helped me fulfill my order was very helpful. Of course I had to get the cheese rolls since that's always good. I tried their besitos this time. Hubby loved the chocolate one, but the dulce de leche one brought nostalgia to me. Other things we tried were the pineapple empanada, coconut strudel, refugiado, and chocolate hazelnut eclair. Overall, the Downey store is my go-to Porto's.

This place is pretty much always packed, there's people everywhere, BUT everything is very fast. The lines always seem long, but the orders are taken quickly. Everything is ready rapidly. On top of that, everything Ive tried has been amazing. I would recommend the cheese rolls and fruit tart. The inside is pretty big, there's lines on two sides of the space to make service quicker and there's a lot of seating too. I've never had a problem finding parking in the back either. The price of everything is pretty good and not too expensive

I can't remember the last time I came to Porto's and It wasn't good. This time was just like every single other time I have came to Porto's. So I was in California for the week with my girlfriend and we decided to make a stop by Porto's as we love the food here and wanted to also get some pastries for our families back in Las Vegas. The employees here are always so nice and pleasant to talk to, they take care of you promptly even though the place is jam packed. The place itself is very nice and open apart from the fact that it's damn near about to explode. The only problem I have with Porto's is the parking situation but what can you expect from such a great place with exceptional service am I right? A lot of items so excuse me for the lengthy review. Drinks Strawberry / Banana smoothie - This drink was really nice as it was sweet but not overbearing, the whipped cream on the top was a nice added touch. Strawberry / Matcha Latte - Personally I'm a sucker for matcha and with the strawberry combination it's always going to be a hit. The bitterness from the matcha is tranquilized by the sweetness of the strawberry. Chicken Milanesa Sandwich - my girl got this plate and I can say it's sooo good, the chicken is cooked to perfection and it's nicely breaded. The bread is very soft and the avocado inside is very fresh. The mariquita is very tasty and has a nice crunch to it (fried plantain). Lechón plate (Slow Roasted Pork) - alright where do I even start. This is the same plate I get every time I visit Porto's. Why? Due to the fact that I love the taste of the savory pork and the sweet and vinegar taste of the onions. The beans are traditional Cuban black beans and the fried plantains are nice, soft, and sweet.

Great as always! They have much longer lines on the weekends, but on the weekdays it's a pretty short weight very affordable! Great place to catch up with a friend or to cater from. I love their medianoche Sandwich. I also really love their potato balls, cheese rolls, guava pastries you really can't go wrong. The service is also really great everybody. There is really nice and wants to help out.

Ordered a tres leches cake the night prior. When I arrived for pickup, there was no line, so I spoke to the host right away & had my cake within five minutes. Fastest Portos service I've ever had. The restaurant is always clean and welcoming as well. The cakes are always delicious and of high quality.

Thank you Maria Anguiano for your professional service. I was upset because of a small confusion with our order and Maria fixed the problem with a great smile on her face and made everything better. Love Porto's every time .

Bro tell my why Porto's has pictures of slices of strawberry shortcake and when we get to the front after being in that long ass line they said you have to buy the whole cake, no slices. I just saw your limited time only slices in the advertisement while I was in line. Then they had no more carrot cake. What made matters worse was I only went there for a slice of cheesecake that I was craving, you guessed right they wanted me to buy the whole cheese cake. Porto's you got me f'd up. That's is some BS It went down hill from there cause you didn't have the dulce de leche kisses either. I just walked out. Tropicana has slices. Everything you guys didn't and wouldn't they did.
