Empanadas, Cheese Rolls and Pastries from Porto's Bakery

Last weekend my longing for empanadas has been satiated. Ditas had a 3-day visit with me. She brought with her 2 boxes of Porto's pastries, empanadas and cheese rolls that I have been enjoying the last few days. The empanadas both chicken and beef reminds me of Pinoy empanadas. But Porto's is of Cuban origin and its story is detailed in the reference at the bottom of this page. It is listed in the top 10 best and famous bakeries in California.

To be honest, this is my first time I heard about Porto's Bakery. All my bakery needs are fulfilled by Pinoy bakeries in the area( Starbread, Valerio and Goldilocks). All of my Empanada purchases are on line from Shef.com. All of my other bakeries needs are filled by either Safeway or Dash Mart Grocery. 

Here's the current menu of the bakery.
