A Pastelito by any other name…

April 5, 2013 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

There are thousands of fantastic restaurants in Southern California. And I'm sure the fair city of Glendale has a bizzillion wonderful eateries. But, if we're going to be in Glendale for any reason, we must always stop at Porto's Bakery and load up on Cuban Provisions.

There's no better Cuban bakery in So Cal.

Lucy, Jonathan and I were in Glendale a few weeks back. So we (of course!) stopped at Porto's. (I'm almost certain it's a state mandate, but that's not important right now.)

And guess what we stocked up on?

Pastelitos

Guava Cheese "Strudel?" They can call it
whatever they like as long as I can have one with my cafecito.

Lucy & jon

Wait.
One? Who are we kidding?

    Hi Marta!This post brought back great memories for me of the delicious food I’ve been missing for a while now! I’m originally from Miami but have been in school at Boston University for the past four years (graduating in May!). I recently started a blog about my adventures as a temporary transplant and it was great to come across your blog about all things Cuban! That poster you created was great by the way. Everyone should experience the power of pastelitos!
