The Cuban YouTuber Yandry García recently visited what he considers the best Cuban bakery in the United States: Portos Bakery & Cafe, a business that has been serving customers for nearly 50 years. Founded in 1976 by Cuban immigrant Rosa Portos in Los Angeles, the bakery became so popular that it expanded to six locations in the California city.
"To this day, it continues to represent Cuban flavor in Los Angeles," García stated on his TikTok account. The young man shared a video showcasing the products offered at the bakery: not only breads, sweets, and various types of cakes, but also fruit shakes, croquettes, sandwiches, and more substantial dishes of typical Cuban cuisine, such as rice, black beans, and ropa vieja.
"It makes me very happy to know that the culture and food of my country are well represented in this cosmopolitan and diverse city. This is a little piece of Cuba in Los Angeles," he expressed.
