I never thought I would love something called STUFFED POTATO BALLS but man oh man, these are tasty. And everything else I've tried here is also delish, including their desserts. Their tuna croissant...

Holy crap! I love it here. I've had an ongoing obsession (to husband's dismay) with moving down to Southern CA for a while and this place would certainly help my case! He does love a good sandwich,...

Here's one where I agree with the masses. Like the original Porto's, this new location packs them in. The place is crazy and there is the "Porto's Process" you go through to order, pay and get out...

Being a coffee snob I thought it would be better to forgo airline coffee and wait until we landed to get a decent cup. (Yes, my snobbery of coffee outweighs my addiction.) Well, by the time we got to...

Porto's is an astounding operation. First of all, from the outside, it looks like a landmark, with its Union Station Spanish revival architecture. And it's almost as big and beautiful inside, which is...
