Everything I've tried is awesome or phenomenal. The tamales are flavorful, tender, great masa, and delicious chicken. The potato balls are crispy with beef and veggies and crispy. The ham and cheese croquetta are crispy, cheesy, and super delicious. If you haven't been there and you are getting it to go, do yourself a favor and order online and skip the 30 min line. Pick up is 2 mins.
Starting with - I LOVE Porto's. The quality of the food you get here is amazing. On top of the unbelievable quality, the prices are surprisingly affordable. Porto's is simply a blessing. The ONLY reason why I'm giving this 4 stars is because I've seen better from Porto's; I think the one is Northridge is just leagues above the one in Burbank. Accessibility is rough out here. You need to street park, maybe a few blocks away, and the lines are almost always out the door if you come during normal (and it's normally peak) hours. Once you get through the door and order, it's very challenging to find a place to sit. Some people like to eat after ordering their food fresh and others like to order bulk and take it out. Others leave after trying to find a place to sit or find an uncomfortable area to have their food. While it serves the quality of food you expect from a Porto's, it feels very crammed here. I'd recommend coming here if you just want to have some of the food. If you want a fuller dining experience, there are other locations available.
Lived up to the hype. The place was busy but lines moved very fast. The potato balls were really good but the pistachio macaron was the best thing there for me. Lots of seating so wasn't hard to find a place to sit down and relax even with how busy it was. The workers were really nice too.
This is the first Porto's location I've ever been to so it holds a special place in my heart. There is a parking lot available for this location however it's always full when I come by. But there is street parking available in the neighborhood and it's a pretty populated area too. Lines have been moving faster since I've first started coming here but the wait time for my items have definitely gone down, probably cause I've been ordering less. Overall you can't really go wrong with Porto's especially when you know what you like. I've been liking this location more because there have been a lot of new additions to the neighborhood that are worth checking out.
Porto's is always busy, but they always keep it running as quickly as possible. We found parking easily in their lot and the line to order wasn't too long at 10:30am. The breakfast wrap was good. I would get it again. It had pork along with eggs, guacamole, and salsa Verde in it. The pan con lechon was good, but they pork was a bit dry. I smothered it with tomatillo salsa that came with the breakfast wrap. Churro croissant, macaron, and tartlet were delicious. Breakfast empanada was pretty good too. Inside can be a bit chaotic, but it's worth it for the affordable good food.
On Wednesday morning, August 5th, I went to Porto's Bakery in Burbank and bought two dozen boxes of their famous Cheese Rolls -- two dozen in total, which my & everyone & my family absolutely loves! Their Cheese Rolls are so crispy and delicious, without being overly sweet, that they're addictive. You just keep reaching for another one! Every time I visit, I love how friendly all the staff are, and the restroom was clean when I was there, which was another plus. On weekends, there is usually an insanely long line here, but since I went on a weekday morning, it wasn't nearly as crowded, which was nice. The parking lot is also always packed, so finding a parking spot can be quite a challenge. But my parking luck is always very good and sure enough, a car pulled out right in front of me just as I arrived, so I was able to get a parking spot easily. I was so happy!
I have heard so many good things about Porto's so when we were visiting I knew I had to try some delicious delights from here. The line wasn't too bad when we were here, and moved pretty quickly. I looked at the menu before coming here which allowed me to order more efficiently. I'd recommend doing the same for your first visit as there are so many different baked goods available it can be hard to decide what to get. We got a plethora of carby creations and a mamey shake. Side note apparently mamey fruit is pronounced mah-may and not may-mee like I said it to the cashier lol. It's hard to believe these well crafted baked goods are so reasonably priced as we were pleasantly surprised at our total for so many items that we bought. Some of the items we got were the tamale, pineapple empanada, guava strudel, potato ball, dulce de leche besito, cheese roll, and mango mousse bomb. Service was very efficient for placing our order but there was a bit of a lag to pay. Service at the beverage counter was very friendly and kind. This was my first time trying mamey fruit and it was really good in a shake. It didn't really have any particular similarity to any other fruit I've had so I can't really describe the taste. Just get it and find out for yourself!
I thought that this location was still busy but they had most of the options I wanted. I got to try the mango mousse and I love how it isn't too sweet. The ambiance is ok but I've been to less busier Porto's.
Nothing could be finer than being on line waiting to purchase pastries here! It's a dangerous place for someone like me...I love my sweets and I find it very hard not to buy 1 of everything! LOL! When you enter there are 2 lines...The one to the right is for just baked goods...The one to the left is for drinks, sandwiches, salads, and baked goods. The lines move quickly and the staff here are very friendly. I got a few chocolate cookies, a guava danish, wildberry muffin and a cinnamon bun to go and I am NOT SHARING! Hee hee. Great for the Coffee Queen to eat with my morning latte... Plenty of tables to sit at if you want to stay. This location is not as big as the one in Northridge. *They have a parking lot off of Hollywood way that is free. Street parking is also free. ~ and that's all I have to say about that...
My 4-star rating is based strictly on the food, consistent with all of my other reviews. I love this place and highly recommend Porto's to anyone. Porto's is just a fantastic bakery. The selection is enormous - pastries, cakes, cookies, sandwiches, breads... if you walk in without a plan, good luck leaving with only one item. One thing I really appreciate is that Porto's is one of the few places that doesn't ask you for a tip at checkout, yet the staff are still friendly, efficient, and genuinely seem happy to help. That's becoming surprisingly rare these days. The prices are also hard to beat. Even in 2026, you can still grab a freshly baked muffin and a Danish for under $5. Since they bake most of their pastries and breads on-site, everything tastes fresh, and that freshness really comes through. Here's my breakdown of what I've tried: Potato Balls - 4.5/5. The best savory item at Porto's. It's mashed potato filled with Cuban-style ground beef/stew, wrapped in a panko crust, and deep-fried to an excellent crispiness. A good balance of contrasting textures and tastes. Must try. Breakfast Croissant - 4/5. They have several versions (ham & cheese, egg & cheese, etc.). The croissant itself is good, though not bakery-elite. It's a little flatter than I'd like and doesn't have quite enough of that buttery, shatter-into-a-million-flakes texture. But I'm nitpicking - it still beats the croissants you'll get at most restaurants. The scrambled eggs are actually the star of the sandwich. They're soft, velvety, buttery, and cooked really well. Everything else does its job. Ropa Vieja Sandwich - 3.5/5. Think of it as a Cuban-style beef Sloppy Joe. The shredded beef is tender and coated in a sweet, slightly spicy stew that's packed with flavor. It's a touch saltier than my ideal, but not enough to stop me from enjoying it. The little bits of fat throughout the beef give it a richer, more satisfying flavor. Apple Strudel - 4/5. This is the sleeper hit. Honestly, I think it's one of the best apple strudels in Greater L.A. The pastry is beautifully browned, crisp, flaky, and buttery. Even better, the filling isn't just a sugar bomb. The apples still have some tartness, which gives the whole pastry a much more balanced and interesting flavor. Almond Croissant - 3/5. It's good, just not memorable. Like the breakfast croissant, it's a little flatter than I'd like and doesn't have that light, airy, flaky texture that makes great almond croissants so addictive. The filling is good. Tasty, but there are better versions elsewhere. Muffins - 4/5. It's a bit crumbly, but delicious. They are definitely better than ones you get from the supermarket. Fresher, nice balance of butter and sugar, not too sweet, which is good. Porto's coffee is okay. It won't change your life, but it also won't ruin your morning. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. Porto's is one of those places that's easy to recommend. The food is consistently good, the prices are refreshingly reasonable, and everything tastes fresh. Not every item is a home run, but when you can walk out with a bag full of quality pastries without emptying your wallet, it's hard to complain. I'll definitely keep coming back.
Visited on a Monday around 11am and while the line was out the door/down the sidewalk, we only waited about 15 mins because of how efficient they are! The spinach feta empanadas were delicious and the carrot cake was amazing. We'll definitely be back! Tons of indoor seating in addition to seating outside. Great vibe overall!
Come on, it's Porto's. It's a LA staple and from desserts to warm meals everything is excellent. I've ordered nice cakes here for parties, taken a lunch with some delicious plantains, and I've also ordered to go just boxes of pastries. Whether you're a tourist or local, this is a spot you have to go to. One thing I already keep in mind, this is not a place to go to if you're in a rush. There's always a line pretty much to the door or even out the door. So plenty of times I've just ordered on DoorDash. Pro tip: when I buy it in bulk like in the photo, I'll wrap and freeze the little pastries. Buy once use many times!
Not sure where my past review went, but my photos are still here. So let me just do a quick summary. Porto's are popping up everywhere but it's still my mom's favorite place for cakes. This is our go to for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. I like to go in for croissants and they also have bread loafs that they'll slice for you if you ask. The lines can get pretty long so I like to order ahead (online) and then just pick up. Prices have gone up but I find them to be still within a reasonable range. I do enjoy their sandwiches for a quick brunch from time to time. I'm not crazy about their coffee, but their seasonal matchas can be delicious. They only come in one size, which is a bummer because sometimes I find it to be too much. So usually I'll go with a friend and we'll share the drink.

Review #1,090 Posted on 7.14.26 I was very surprised I hadn't yet left a review for this Porto's. We've been to this location I'd guess 3-4 times, most recently last Saturday the 11th prior to our trek back to NorCal. Porto's quite simply put is just awesome. The only bad thing about it isn't their fault, but it's basically you can't stop ordering stuff. I don't think I've ever walked out of there with less than 2 full bags of stuff. Their pastries, hot fresh to order food, coffees, all are awesome. I don't think I can remember everything, but I'll try anyways. The guava cheese strudels are really good, cheese rolls are a staple, and easy to bring a 12 pack home to share with family & friends. I think the potato balls & cheese balls might be my favorite though. The potato balls have ground beef and some little veggie ingredients wrapped inside mash potatoes then breaded and fried. They're excellent and unique. They've also got hot sandwiches, but won't let people order to pickup as they want to them made fresh to order. The ham n cheese is really good, that's a breakfast one so you need to order it by 11 I believe. This last trip we got this sandwich for the ride, spicy milanesa chicken sandwich. Really good, breaded chicken, mozzarella cheese, avocado, & some small slivers of peppers. I really wish they had a Porto's in NorCal. Maybe someday. read more
I had to see if this was worth the hype. And yes, it was. Ordered 3 different sandwiches including the Cubano and the Grilled Chicken sandwich and my favorite was the Grilled Chicken sandwich. Prices are reasonable and this place was packed on a Friday at 2pm in the afternoon. I tried the cheesy ball and the chicken empanada. Everything I tried here I really liked. Will definitely be back again if I'm ever in the area.... read more
All the food is deliciousThis place is fantastic. It was hard to find the perfect table for my aunt who uses a walker, but we did try. Next time I would simply show up early for lunch time. The main things I wanted to say are: 1. Free parking! 2. That guava cheese pastry does not disappoint! We agreed that the spinach pastry is a close second. Delicious! 3. I walked to the front of the line just to ask if there was a place for my aunt to sit while my mom and I were in line. I was SHOCKED when she said: "just bring her up front and you can order now." So lovely and welcoming and generous and inclusive. I'm so grateful. Thank you, Porto's Team! ps. ! I agree that it's a little tough to feed vegetarians (especially vegans) here, but it is worth it - at least for vegetarians!!!!! read more

Having lived in Los Angeles, I used to love visiting Porto's in Glendale, so I was excited to stop by the Burbank location, and it did not disappoint! Some things never change, and that's a good thing. I always have to order the spicy potato balls, which are perfectly crispy on the outside with a flavorful, satisfying filling. They're one of my all time favorite Porto's items. The guava and cheese pastries were just as amazing as I remembered: flaky, butter, and filled with a great balance of sweet guava and creamy cheese. I also tried the dirty horchata, a twist on the traditional drink but add a shot of cold brew coffee. This was an absolute delight with it being refreshing, perfectly spiced, and paired wonderfully with the pastries. read more

Porto's is always a hit! New Porto's location for me. Same result. I want to say I got back in line with my Porto's bag in hand to order even more food... and a worker moved me out of line and helped me get what I needed quickly! Great customer service. Place is like a zoo at all times, busy and Super packed but it's controlled chaos to say the least. They watch tables and make a line. This allows you to be first come first serve at a table rather than fighting for a table with someone who just showed up. The food I got today was a ropa vieja sandwich. It was good but not my favorite. I'm addicted to the spicy potato balls and the meat pies. Nice location. read more

Olga C. was absolutely wonderful! She was so passionate about her work, incredibly helpful, and had such a warm and welcoming energy. She genuinely took the time to talk with us, make sure we had everything we needed, and even checked in to see if there was anything else she could help with. We ended up talking about my upcoming trip to Guatemala, and it was especially nice getting her recommendations and perspective since she is from Guatemala. It made the experience feel so personal and memorable. You can really tell that Olga cares about the people she serves and takes pride in what she does. Thank you, Olga, for making our visit so special! read more
Menu with price update. Food and service are great as usual. Ordered ham and cheese croissant, guava strudel, apple strudel, chocolate twist, mixed berry muffins, churro cookies, chocolate chip cookies, Plato de pollo platter, carnitas platter, ham and cheese croissant sandwiches, tamales, meat pies. Chicken empanadas and guava smoothies. We will hit Porto's again on our next trip. read more
Another Porto's hit!! This time, I brought a plate home. The Plato de Pollo is my favorite lunch/dinner order! Burbank is one of their older locations, so it doesn't have a dedicated coffee bar like Northridge. Plenty of outdoor sidewalk seating, and you can make it a date to walk along Magnolia Blvd. read more

Porto's is a legend! I think everyone in LA should pay homage here... and judging from how popular they are at all hours, everyone is!!! Other than their famous pastries (and there are soooo many of them), their sandwiches are excellent too! My favorite is their croissants - they are the best I've tasted... not only good but also cheaper than most places in town! Great service -- I estimated there are likely 50 people working at this place, front and back. Everyone I met was courteous and cheerful. You are unlikely to get this level of service at any other cheap eats in town. The ambiance is busy and lively. You have to self-serve but they are efficient and fast. Unbelievable prices in today's market! Whenever I come, I get bags / boxes of take-outs Lastly, one thing I love about them is, while everyone is asking for 18% to 25% tips, their cashier machines do not ask for any! Can you find another place in town that does this? read more

I've been coming to Porto's in Burbank for many years, and it continues to be one of my absolute favorite bakeries in Los Angeles. Whether I'm picking up pastries for a birthday, an anniversary, something for our church, or simply because I have a sweet tooth and am craving something delicious, Porto's is always one of my go-to places. Beyond the amazing pastries and food, I've always appreciated the customer service here. They truly have some of the sweetest employees, and I especially wanted to take the time to recognize one employee who really made my day during my visit two Sundays ago. I believe her name was Caroline or Carolina, and I've actually been meaning to write this review specifically because of her. Her kindness, courtesy, appreciation, and genuine warmth were truly above and beyond. It was one of those interactions that stays with you and reminds you how much a little kindness can brighten someone's day. Employees like her deserve to be recognized. I'm so thankful there are still people who take such pride in treating customers with genuine care and kindness. I really hope a manager sees this and lets her know how much her kindness was appreciated. She absolutely deserves a pat on the back for the wonderful job she's doing. Thank you for making my morning and putting a smile on my face. Porto's Burbank will definitely continue to be one of my favorite spots, and of course, I'll be back! read more
We ordered a few pastries: blueberry cream cheese danish, almond croissant, quesadilla, and chocolate twist. All very tasty! I wasn't sure what to get, they have all sorts of pastries, tarts, cakes, and some savory options too. Everything was priced fairly, I'd say. We also got a un Plato de Rios Vieja, it was really good, the meat had good flavor and the portion was perfect for 1-2 people. The drinks here are also good, my party ordered a strawberry matcha and a honey coffee. There's a lot of options, something for everyone. The service is also great. There is a long line, but it moves fast (15 mins) and you can usually find seating if you're dining in. The servers all have a good attitude and are more than happy to give recommendations if you want some. I'd come back! The atmosphere is pretty casual. It's a good spot for lunch or a coffee break. Music isn't too loud, either. read more
What's a SoCal trip without stopping by Porto's before heading home Every time we drive down, we always bring goods back to our friends and families. Always order online to avoid long waits. You can pick from many different time slots also. My favs: CHEESE ROLLS! That's is that's all read more
An update review after 8 years from my last review: Porto's in Burbank is still 5 stars in my book! Came here today to kill some time and at 5pm on a weekday, I breezed through the line and sat down in less than 12 minutes. I always get friendly, fast service here, not feeling rushed nor hurried. Porto's have had great customer service for the past 15 years that I have been going there. It makes it difficult to try new spots on Magnolia Blvd since I am a repeat customer. The coffee and the juice/smoothie bar is just as high quality as their baked goods and food. It has gotten progressively better year after year and I have seen their menu expand. You have to have great coffee with the amazing desserts they serve! My current favorites are the mango mousse, the chocolate chip twist, the cheese and jalapeno potato balls, and of course, the guava cheese pastry. I also love their chopped chicken and Caesar salads! Ample seats both inside and outside. If I ever get parking and see open seats, then I take it as a sign from the cosmos that I am meant to get Porto's. read more

Our visit to LA is never complete without stopping by at Porto's. The quality of their pastries remain consistently delectable throughout the years. Their customer service is amazing despite the volume of customers they serve. We always get the cheese roll and the cheese and guava roll. But this time, we tried their new pastries such as the yuzu eclair and jt was to die for. Tell me why we just tried their dulce de leche latte?! Me and my husband was fighting over it on our drive home, wish we bought two! If you haven't been to Porto's, brave the line! I promise it's worth it. read more

Porto's in Burbank honestly feels like it's been around forever--I think it might even be the first Porto's in the Valley, but Glendale was the first one I think. This review is long overdue because I used to come here all the time when I was younger. It's always been busy, with the line literally wrapped around outside, but that's just part of the experience at this point. You really can't go wrong with Porto's though, it's like a one-stop shop for pastries, Cuban food, cakes, and drinks. I've had pretty much everything over the years and I still keep going back. It's perfect for parties, events, or honestly just whenever you're craving it. The quality and consistency are what keep people coming back, even with the crowds. read more

A first at this location, I completed a mobile order for some pastry's and the Dulce iced latte. This location did have a small parking , but the spaces were tight . I can only imagine during rush hour or weekends . I visited this location at 7 am and was slightly busy. Upon arrival, it was a bit confusing on where to go for mobile orders . I made a left where I thought was mobile , and it is actually a right. I wish there was more signage or directions for mobile order in the app as well. To pick up my order was very quick, the lady mentioned they were making my coffee. I waited an extra 5-10 minutes , I followed up by asking if she can check on my drink. My drink was ready in a different location where she grabbed . Porto's food is always 10/10 , the functionality of mobile pickup is an area that requires improvement . read more

Had to stop by one of our favorite bakeries in SoCal. It was on the way home. It was my son's 9th birthday and we got some Porto's famous cheese rolls for his birthday party. I got a Cuban sandwich togo and plantains with garlic sauce. I haven't had it in a while and I missed it. It was amazing. We tried a dozen seafood potato balls. I think I ate 6 by myself. They were good! I tried the strawberry cheese croissant. I liked it but my wife didn't like it. I got myself a 1 guava cheese strudel and I loved it. My fav is dulce de leche coffee and fresh orange juice. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat until we got home. Service always amazing and friendly. The line is usually long but it's organized and clean inside. I've never had a bad experience at Porto's. Thank you Porto's! read more

Ask the Community - Porto's Bakery & Cafe
Can I get list of cakes to see what types Porto's have and which is popularbecause I'm thinking getting a birthday cake?
Sorry, but I don't know anything about their cakes except that they're gorgeous and the $30 range
Did the whole porto's in the world copy each of their businesses from another business?
It is my understanding that the founder came from Cuba and she started at the bakery on her own. It is a family business and I've never come across anything similar in my travels.
Are they open on July 4th?
Yes! Special hours are 6:30am-5pm. Make sure you preorder because it's usually busy on holidays!
Do they have the bread pudding back yet at this location?
Not yet… it’s a seasonal item during the fall. You can always call and see what they have :)
What time do they start for pick up order? I want to pick up at 0630am
No sure, I have picked up at 8am. You can schedule the time through the website or at location directly.
I see breakfast is until 11:00 a.m. Do you start offering your regular menu sandwiches before 11:00 a.m.?
Yes they do .. if it's on the menu when you are there you can order it
Why is the menu so limited on Uber Eats?
Is the meat pie's filling the same as the potato ball's filling?
Not really. The Potato ball is Harty while the meat pie is more of a flaky crust with about the same amount meat. Hope that makes sense 😅
What happened to their southwest syle steak Salad it's no longer on the menu?
I remember this salad, it was removed from the menu, haven't seen it during any of my recent visits
What are their vegan options?
Are they still doing custom cakes? I'm not seeing the options they used to have on their site anymore
They do, but you'll have to go in to the bakery
Ia there a private parking lot? Or do i have to pay parking fee?
They have their own parking lot...free of charge
Do they still have Masareal? we haven't been able to get it in a long time. I wonder if they will bring it back?
No, I hope they bring back triple chocolate cake as well.
What is the best way to warm up potato balls, meat pies and croquettes?
Most likely to put it in the oven or toaster.
