It was my first time going to Porto's in many years and I love this massive Porto's store in Northridge! It's located at the edge of the parking lot at the Northridge Fashion Center. Parking is plentiful and easy to find. My party of 3 went on Wednesday night around 6 and it was popping. They have two lines (one left and one right from the main entrance) for ordering, so just pick the side with the shortest line. Ordering is straightforward. The menus clearly list their signature sweet and savory items as well as entrees, and for everything else, you can peruse the display case and see what looks good to you. Prices are very affordable as well. We ordered a ton of food, including one sandwich, our total was only $33.80. There's a separate area where you can order coffee and tea, smoothies, fresh orange juice, etc. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and even a lounge area if you're just here for drinks or some small bites. We found the main seating area with tables way too cold, so we opted to sit in the lounge. Of the items we ordered, my favorites were the cheese roll ($1.19 each), ham croquette ($1.39), and the chicken milanesa sandwich ($9.59). We ate a couple items at the store and took the rest home to eat later. I will be back to try more of their desserts and sandwiches!

Oh Porto's! you continue to keep me at your feet! my favorite the potato balls! recently had the pleasure of spoiling my family with some Porto's for the beach! it was the perfect snack! guava pastries! croissants! dulce de leche! just a few of my favorites! i ordered ahead of time and picked up at 8 am! so easy to get in line and staff as always so helpful!! parking can always be a bit crazy because of their location but it is doable!

We absolutely love Porto's! We went early on a Sunday morning, and there was already a line! We got two Cuban sandwiches; a dozen potato balls, spicy potato balls and chicken croquettes; and three ham and cheese croissants, all for around $80. We fed a group of four adults, and we still have lots of food left over! Great food at great prices! Pro tip: Skip the line and place your order online for pickup.

These are great, The guava cheese pastry is an LA staple for a reason, the churro croissant was a touch dry but still better than i expected. The muffin was great. Don't skip Porto's and get a little of everything you won't regret it.

Service is always a plus at this establishment. I'm a bit saddened to see that the Plato de steak doesn't seem to be available anymore. I chose the Plato de ropa Vieja today and it was a bit too salty for me. I think that the ratio of rice to the entree was unbalanced. But that won't stop me from revisiting.

This place was delicious and I highly recommend. One of the best places I've eaten in a long time out here in the SFV. I tried the chicken emapanadas, churro croissant, turkey croissant sandwhich, black beans, and the chicken caesar salad and everything tasted great. The service was very quick and helpful even with a large number of people in the restaurant I will definitely be coming back!

It's my first time going to Porto's bakery in many years and the service was outstanding. The aesthetic is beautiful. I wasn't too sure what to order but Julie was encouraging and gave me a few ideas of dishes I should order, she was sweet and understanding. Great service. Definitely will be coming back soon.

Hmmmm, let's see, shall we buy an empanada or take a plane to Havana? That's what stepping into Porto's Northridge shop feels like. It is HUGE. As in airplane hangar scale. Not what one expects in a bakery. Now, many lifetimes ago, when I was a baking student at LATTC, snagging an apprenticeship at the original Porto's in Glendale was considered the brass ring. And, frankly, I stopped thinking about the growth that this family business has experienced since that time. It has literally exploded. There are currently six stores all over SoCal and two more in the works. Wowa! I needed some pastries for an event and wanted something scrumptious, unique, and, well, top quality. I thought of Portos and was astonished to see there were stores beyond the original, excellent, landmark on Brand. I will let the pictures do the talking. Porto's has much, much more than pastries and I only scratched the surface of their offerings in that category. You could literally go there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner many times over and not try it all. They must be doing something right -- the place was packed on a Wednesday morning, of all the crazy times. Btw, you can order online, set the time to pick it up and it is ready, warm, right from the oven, and presented in beautiful boxes nestled in a very cool bespoke tote. Double wowa! Now I want to hurry to all the other stores to see if they are as amazing as the one in Northridge. Artists, these are baking artists and we should all just go and watch them work their magic, to learn ...

I've been to this Porto's a lot since it opened. Their sandwich menu alone is enough to keep me going back for more. Tonight was different. So different that I had to acknowledge the great service we had from the person taking our order. At a time where the restaurant was unusually busy, Miranda still put in the effort to be the friendliest worker who had ever helped me here. I've never written a Yelp review, but I feel like it should be said somewhere. Thank you, Miranda. P.s.: Please make the mango smoothies larger. They're too good and I drink them too quickly.

I've been to a few locations and so far I like the way their layout from the parking lot to their interior and outside seatings are set up. We ordered : Chicken Sandwich was perfectly toasted on the outside and proportioned with the lightly crispy fried chicken, cheese and tomatoes but I wish there was a bit more of the avocado spread . 4/5 Chicken torta was ok for me. The beans kinda over powdered the flavors of the torta in my opinion. I think it's would've been great without or just a thiiiiin spread . 3/5 Cheese rolls are a MUST! Guava cheese rolls are second ! DULCE DE LECHE COOKIES!!!!!! Warmed up in the microwave for 6-8seconds is even betterrr! 5/5 Potato balls and Croquettes are a staple 5/5 Meat Pies have a great flakey crust but there wasn't enough meat to crust ratio inside this time. 4/5 Raspberry matcha eclair was subtly delicious. 4/5 Service is always great at Portos . I appreciate how well kept it is here. We came in around 4pm and didn't have to wait too long thank goodness!
