This is the best bakery I have ever been to. I already reviewed one of the other locations, but had to leave another review because it's so good. Coconut strudel. Chocolate twist. And croissants. The outdoor seating is very nice. Bring a date here. I took a date to this place and she is now my wife. The only negative thing I have to say is that I now have diabetes. But it was worth it.

I love Protos! The food is fresh and healthy, and the staff are kind and helpful. It gets crowded on weekends, but that just shows how popular it is. We often have family gatherings and even celebrated a birthday there—highly recommend!

The food at Porto's is delicious. The Ropa Vieja was especially tasty. The lines are long, but they move quickly. However, it took 15 minutes for our food to be delivered to the table. The restaurant could use more tables indoors, as it was too hot to sit outside.
