POROTA IS NOW CLOSED – 2015. This tiny kiosco-sized café may be small, but you’d be surprised to see the wide selection of deliciousness that comes out of Porota’s cozy kitchen. Sandwiches, tartas, awesome lunch specials, creamy soups, salads, muffins, cupcakes, breads, scones, cakes, fresh *real* fruit juices – there’s very little that Porota doesn’t offer. […]

Eating outdoors is one of those strange pleasantries in life, whether it’s an outdoor patio, rooftop terrace, quiet backyard garden or even colectivo polluted sidewalk, food somehow tastes better while sitting outside basking in the aire libre.
