    Potato Ball (Papa Rellena) - Each
    Kelvin C.

    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.

    Line to get in at 11:30 am on a Saturday

    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.

    Do u guys make a custom cake? Like Gucci team cake?

    No they don't.

    Is it halal?

    No, they have lots of pork products. I can't see how they could be.

    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 allow dogs?

    They allow service dogs

    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

    Are there still no vegan options?

    Tough to be vegan at Porto's

    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?

    Indoor seating available now?

    Yes

    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

    Are you open on Christmas Day?

    Porto's is closed on Christmas day.

    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.

Walked in yesterday around 12:40PM and got somewhat of a normal greeting from Jace. He took my order and the food came out pretty quickly, nice and hot. They have extensive menu options from baked goods, to a variety of crepes, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, burgers, salads, and Mexican food of all types. They have hot and cold beverages, including bottled, canned, and fountain drinks. Just to name a few. I ordered from their new menu options. Got me a Grilled Chicken Panini Sandwich with: tomato, lettuce, basil, Mozzarella cheese, Pesto paste on a nicely toasted Baguette bread. Side of salad and 2 ranch dressings. The lettuce was somewhat crispy, and had few old pieces in it. Still tasted fresh and delicious. ($18.99). I also got their new item on the menu, a Mediterranean Omelette: 3 eggs, black olives, yellow cooked bell peppers, Hearts of Palm, Artichokes, & Greek Feta cheese. I also got a side of fresh fruit (Bananas, Strawberries & Blueberries). Also tasted very good. It had this secret sauce topped on top and was a bit tangy for my taste.. ($ 19.99). All ingredients were fully loaded on the omelette inside and outside. To-go orders, 3rd party and of course dine-in. Wanted to get some pastries and the cases were half empty. They used to have delicious Cheesecakes, Muffins, all types of Fruit tarts, danishes & a whole lot more. He even said that the last Cheesecake was 2 days old. So what was it doing in their display? Inside and outside seating, spotless clean, along with their 2 gender-neutral restrooms fully stocked with the proper essentials. Thankfully they got rid of that stupid sink. Nice decor/pictures here and there. New owner, new prices, but I still love this place. I will return again soon.

I even went as recently as last year and they were amazing. However... My girlfriend and I came back recently, and it was a huge letdown. The fries were soft, undercooked, and so salty that all I could taste was salt. My girlfriend said it was like a grandmother made them at home. Looking at my old Yelp photos compared to what we got now, they are not the same fries. We each ate maybe 10 fries before giving up and leaving to get curly fries from a late night fast food place instead. The ranch also tasted like Italian vinaigrette dressing and not ranch at all. The girls working are always super friendly and sweet, but the guy manager was cold and honestly rude. We also waited forever just to place our order. Like easily 6 minutes in silence standing at the counter being the only ones there. I really hope they can turn things around because the old Crave had some of the best fries in Studio City and I would often show up with 5-10 people at night for the pizza fries and / or the basic fries alone. This visit was incredibly disappointing. Also the forks were so heavy and huge my gf had to stop using it because it was so cumbersome and heavy
