on Yahoo May 12, 2009The food is good and the bakery is good. Not worth it when it's crowded. For a real cuban food experience got to Mambo's. And I think the owners are anti-Castro, which totaly sucks. Long live the revolution! Viva Fidel!... (more)

on Yahoo Sep 22, 2008Even though the food is fantastic at Porto's (namely the sandwiches and bakery, mmm!), it is hardly worth the 20 minutes of driving around to find a too-tight parking spot, waiting in line for another 10 minutes (they... (more)
