Great place for pastries and deserts!!! by Daphne W. at InsiderPages

Porto's Bakery is a great place to get great deserts and pastries. I highly recommend their fruit tarts, meat pies and potato balls. It may sound pretty plain, but they're really good. I would try to either go there early or at least not during the lunch hour, because there'll be crowds of people waiting in line. But it is definitely worth the wait if you love all kinds of pastries!!! Highly recommended

I am a long time Porto's fan, I don't mind the long drive. However, this year I've had 2 bad experiences.
1) Hard and un-biteable fruit tort crust. I had to drive back the next day to exchange for a different type of cake all together.
2) I bought a cake for my sister's birthday, she is a merengue nut, but when we brought it home we noticed the cake was all bread and a very very thin layer of icing, that in some areas revealed the bread. I am just afraid that the quality is flying out the window !!!

I have been buying baked goods from porto's for ever, even as a child all the cakes for special occasions came from porto's. You can never go wrong with porto's from having a simple lunch to planning a party. Hands down best bakery in LA county, and trust me I eat @ allot of places.

As good as it is here, there should be someone we can hire to stand in line for us to place orders. This place contains some of the best baked goods yet the people that work there treat customers so poorly and they get away with it. Where else can you get food faster if you speak Spanish? Only at Portos.
- Pros: Baked goods
- Cons: Desserts aren't all that, rude customer service.
Great customer service

I recently ordered a custom cake and favor cookies at Porto's for a baby shower. The prices were reasonable compared to other bakeries. In addition to the great customer service I received, my order was ready within one week. Other bakeries were booked and required custom cake and cookie orders a month in advance. All the guests at the baby shower thought the cuban cake flavor was delicious. Because of the popularity of Porto's there was a slight wait to place an order, but it was worth it!!!
Overated, Cake's Look Nasty!!!

I think that this bakery is really overrated. I had the opportunity to have their cakes and sandwiches couple of times and it is never the best. The way their cake's look - it's pretty nasty. I think people just go there to say they have been there. I don't think there is anything special about the food or service. You can go to any bakery, even Ralphs and get a better looking and tasting cake. there is nothing there that amazes me other than the nasty tasting sandwiches and cakes...
