Porto's Bakery

On any given weekend, the line to place a lunchtime order at this popular destination for Cuban sandwiches, coffee and baked goods of all stripes nearly stretches out the door. But, as with most things that have reached this level of popularity in the L.A. eating world, it's worth the wait. Even if you aren't in the market for one of the countless varieties of occasion-ready cakes, the <i>medianoche</i> sandwich -- a devilishly addictive mix of pork, ham and swiss served on a sweet roll -- should merit a line of its own any given afternoon. Those on-the-run can hit the express line for coffee from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., and the <i>cortadito</i> -- a shot of sweetened espresso served with a touch of milk -- justifies that trip all on its own.
