"10 Supremely Delicious Cuban Sandwiches to Try in Los Angeles: Porto's Bakery & Cafe - Their simple, but effective Cuban sandwich involves roast pork, ham, pickles, Cuban “dressing” and Swiss cheese on an airy, crackly crusted house-baked roll."

Nicole Chiang

"I started with the Cubano, which turned out to be a thick, fluffy sandwich presented in a heart shape, and it was filled with pork, ham, swiss cheese, mustard and pickles. All the ingredients in the sandwich were so perfectly proportioned that the flavor of each individual component shone through without overshadowing anything else."

Howard Meyers

"There are fifteen sandwich choices, but my favorite is the hot-pressed Cubano (Cuban Sandwich) with slow roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, butter, mayo/mustard and pickles on Cuban Bread."

Wilson Lin

"The bread was excellent, with a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. There was plenty of tender, slow roasted pork which was not too salty, as well as the ham, which was not very sodium packed either. All in all, it was very delectable sandwich!"

Deborah Orret

"Porto's serves the sandwich of my childhood: crunchy Cuban bread, both ham and roast pork with a slice of swiss cheese in the middle, the slightly sweet mustard, and of course, the dill pickle. There's not a better Cuban sandwich in LA; quote me on that."
