Another Late Lunch

I did it again. I went to Porto's Bakery for the second time this week. I couldn't help it. I really can't. I love the place way WAY too much. Wouldn't you go back to a place, if you really loved the food?

A little view of the cafe area. The bests times to go are between 9-11am and 2-4pm. Those are, I think, the semi-lull hours. Though, I wouldn't really call it a lull point.

My mom orders the Feta. This has feta cheese, fresh basil, vine ripened tomatoes,  olive oil, Italian dressing, red onions on a baguette. Served with some mariquitas.  A little reminiscent of the 

This time I ordered the Cubano. (Cuban Sandwich) Slow roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, butter, may and mustard, pickels on Cuban bread. This is a little similar to the Medianoche sandwich my mom had a couple days ago except that the bread is different. Served with some FRESH mariquitas. I say fresh because I saw them bring out a fresh batch. Plus, you know it's a fresh batch when you see a little of that oil still slightly on the surface. Yum!!!

Just to show you how packed the place gets -- here's a pic from their bakery area. The first pic on top was from their cafe area. This is before the end of day rush hour crowd.

Multiply that by two and that's how crowded it can get during peak hours.
