Walking to Porto's

Andrew and I did our semi-regular eight and a half mile walk around Burbank today. We started at our house, walked up to the Chandler Bike Path which we took to the end, and walked back on Magnolia Boulevard right by Porto's. Lesley came along for the exercise and for lunch at Porto's.

It did start to drizzle, and Andrew came prepared. He did look a little silly walking Zuzu in his shorts and sunglasses while holding an umbrella, though. Lesley and I braved the rain without anything more than light jackets.

On this visit to Porto's, I had a feta sandwich on crusty french bread with tomatoes, basil, and olive oil dressing. Lesley went with the feta sandwich as well and was quite surprised at what she got for under four dollars.

Andrew had a hard time deciding on an item from the list of meaty options and finally settled on the Pan con Lechon, a Roasted Pork Sandwich. He also had a Pastel de Chorizo, a Spanish-style empanada filled with pork, which we'd never seen at the Burbank location before.

Porto's has an extensive selection of sweet pastries and cakes. As always, I got a pineapple empanada. The cheese rolls are a must for first timers like Lesley, so we all got at least one.

Lesley also got something even I had never tried before, the triple chocolate mousse. Oh my! It was so delicious that it might now be my favorite thing on the menu... at least, until the next time I try something new. It's all that good.
