The last time I walked past the Porto's Bakery construction site (see my January 11th post), the foundation was barely there. Now the building has two stories, with walls and stairs and windows. These lights at the end of the work day reminded me of the Motel 6 ad, "We'll leave the lights on for you."
Yeah!! I don't think they'll open in May. I LOVE Portos and I can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteIs the portos open yet? What is the address?
ReplyDeleteNo, not open yet. The outside isn't finished yet, so it doesn't look like it will be open too soon. It's located on Firestone near the corner of Downey Ave. If you click the location link at the end of the post, you'll see it on the map.
ReplyDeleteit's now expected to open in aug 2010:

Meanwhile .... gotta try Tropicana Bakery on Paramount and Florence. Delicious Cuban Bakery! Definite rival to Portos!

Tropicana is no competition to Portos. I live in Downey and would rather drive to Glendale than walk less than half a mile to Tropicana. Can't wait for Portos to open.
ReplyDeleteI agree...Tropicana is terrible! I mean terrible! I have yet to try something tasty!
ReplyDeleteTwo weeks ago I went to glendale and for the first time I had PORTOS!! Delicious!! I live in Downey and can"t wait for them to open already!!! it's taking for everrrr... hurryup!
