I probably met her as a kid. I lived in the neighborhood of her first bakery. Didn't know it was there till recently. But I did visit the tiny strip mall. THis was before they opened up in Glendale.

As an LA guy, I can testify Porto's lives up to hype. They make the best cakes and pastries ever. You should go just to try those potato balls! Note: I didnt get paid by Portos to give this blurb.

If anyone is wondering if they are open during the lockdown, they are, but you should call in for orders to beat the line. Edit: Thanks for the 700+ likes! Update on Portos and the Pandemic: Burbank location, you can't go inside. You have to drive up, take a menu from an employee waiting for you, then park in their parking lot, and call in your order. They'll bring it to you. Don't know about the other locations. Hope that helps!

When Ms. Porto was speaking about her mothers impact and how her hard work has had such an impact on so many people, and their drive to continue her legacy brought me to tears...i'm of the first generation in my family to be born in the U.S. and I work as hard as i can to show just how much of an honor it is for me to be an American. I try to live my life to honor my immigrant parents and grand parents, and to show that this country would not exist without us!

I've tried portos and I think it's good prices but okay quality. Cakes taste slightly commercial compared to homemade ones with real buttercream good ingredients, etc. so I'd say it's a step below a nice bakery but with much better prices. I'm pretty sure they aren't using real butter in the layers of their guava cheese tarts.

Porto's is the absolute best!!! Love their lechón plate! To die for!!!

I've been going to porto's my entire life. My family knows the porto's family and they are incredibly kind/ generous people. It's so special to me, as a child of an immigrant, to see this level of success from honest hardworking people. They stay true to their brand and it has payed off. So happy to see they are being recognized on youtube ♥️. Btw their midnight sandwich,meat pies and guava cheese pastries are 🔥🔥🔥. Thank me later 😘

I used to work a block away from the Burbank location and I still dream about those potato balls and cubanos. Miss them so much

the closest one to me is in west covina which is a 45min dirve, needless to say we go at least 3x a month. TOTALLY WORTH IT

Every time my family and I go to LA, we ALWAYS stop at Porto’s! It is definitely one of the best bakery’s ever! I wish I had some potato balls 🤤

We have something a bit similar to their potato balls here in indonesia, it’s called “perkedel”, it is also made from a mix of mashed potato and minced meat (sometimes without), and fried with an egg wash. It’s so interesting to see food cultures in other places. And these just look sooo delicious! :)

I love Porto's and I live on the East coast (they ship, hint, hint). I visit there when I visit my niece in LA. Strangely it is nether the Cubano or the tres leches that I get; not a dig at Porto's, I have never liked either from any place so I don't eat either.. Their lechon plato and cheese roll pastry are my go to. Try those cheese roll pastries ... just the right amount of sweetness without it being overwhelming!

Potato balls, cheese rolls and get a loaf of the raisin, walnut bread and don’t forget to get it sliced!!!

Love the Honest and frankness of the chef!!!! I cook for living and all this looks sooooooo good. :( live in Canada

Porto's always has amazing food. The quality of the pastries and cakes are top notch, and the prices are so reasonable. When you see a regular line out the front door every day, you know they are good. And lastly, the employees that have assisted with my orders through the years have all been so nice.

I go to Porto’s every birthday. Only good place to get cakes
