I have to stop by whenever I’m in the area. I’ve been here many times and this is the first time there wasn’t a long wait (I visited at 7am). This location can get very busy depending on the time when you visit. There are two areas/lines for ordering so it’s a bit better but still expect a long wait. They got both indoor and outdoor dining areas but they are normally pretty crowded as well.
Guava strudels are my all time favorite. I didn’t order them this time but i also really liked the ham and potato croquettes, Cubano sandwich and plantain chips. I’ve tried so much and literally everything was good. The price is very reasonable and hasn’t changed much in years.

Oh what an experience! I wish they had more of these types of eateries everywhere! Beware, you will love it but it will be busy! There's plenty of dining area, just order and sit and enjoy. No reservations, just be prepared to stand in line for a bit, order a fancy coffee drink, some food, and then just wait for your food and sit with some friends and enjoy the ambience. My sister got a free fruit tart because we all met there for her graduation lunch. I recommend you try everything there, there's something for everyone.
I've tried the ropa vieja sandwich (eat it right away bec the bread will be soggy, it's so tender and great!)
The chicken milanesa is such a delicious and healthier alternative (love the plate lunch)
For my vegetarians, try the soups and the feta sandwich
Pastries: please try the famous cream cheese danishes, they are simply the best
The besitos are little cookies with caramel filling (I feel like they can be shared bec they are super rich)
The chocolate danish pastries are great for my chocoholics looking for something light.
The Churro croissant was so good that I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it.
We've ordered their milk and berries cake (tres leches) and it's not too heavy on the leches, very spongy, very good!
I ordered their cheesecake with fresh strawberries which was ok, nothing to write home about
Their mango mousse cake was a hit for my mango lovers
And if you want to make an impression for the next party, bring a box of their meat pie empanadas and a box of their cheese rolls (cream cheese pastries)
I try to go every time I'm in the area! Chefs kiss all the way!

Love love love Portos!!
One of the must visit/stop whenever we’re in LA visiting our friends. I make sure to grab few of the these goodies back home again.☺️
The cheese rolls are incredible, along with the chocolate croissant, cookies.
On my recent trip I tried their breakfast guacamole cheese along with an almond croissant. Taste was good and the portions were great.
I would love to try their shipping options.

It was our first time here so we ordered different things including sandwiches and pastries. The cubano sandwich was good, the turkey and cheese croissant was okay, the croissant itself was good. We came for the pastries. I was expecting them to be really good since there was a LONG line…seriously. This place is packed. The opera and Parisian cake slices tasted like your average chocolate cake. Cheese roll was good. The place was confusing, they definitely need to have someone directing people to the right section.

Great establishment. It was packed when we came but for good reason. Atmosphere felt like it’s already the weekends but we went on a Wednesday. But the place was packed with all kinds of people. Customer service was top notch. Even though the place was busy, the servers were on point, they were professional, quick and efficient.
