Obrigado, Portugal Imports! (Thanks)
Obrigado for killing my diet! I was doing so good! I've been losing a few pounds, looking nice & svelte, wearing clothes to show off my banging figure, getting glances from the cougars & soccer moms - just to revert back to square 1 because of these tasty SOB's
I think this could get dangerous...........
My buddy, Steve, informed me about Portugal Imports, located next to Julio's Pizzeria on Artesia Blvd. I've passed by billions of times, never thinking of stopping in. I'm so glad I finally had the chance to explore a local treasure.
Tarts! Tarts! Get the bloody tarts! The egg tarts are flaky, creamy, delicious & cheap! Just the right amount of sweetness, w/o being overpowering. I'm currently going through all the other assorted flavors, each one a treat to the culinary senses.
Need a caffeine boost? Portugal Imports sells fresh brewed coffee to perk you up.
Looking for something savory? Portugal Imports also sells sandwiches, cheese & meats such as linguica & salted cod.
For thosing looking for Portuguese products, there is a small grocery area to purchase a limited selection of goods.
Only 2 small tables to dine inside, so I recommend taking out or having a tailgate party.
Portugal Imports, I'm a big fan! Your delectable pastries are like mini rainbows in my mouth. People can keep their fancy $5 cupcakes! Just give me your egg tarts & I'll be a happy camper! I can't wait to wolf down a linguica sandwich, perhaps washing it down with a double shot of espresso. My hemoglobin A1C will hate me, but I'll be back for sure!
Highly...

So far I came here twice , and I have had two very different experiences . The first Time I came in and it was super hot in the store , I really did not know what to expect except the tarts that Iâve been wanting to try. When we came in we had a few questions , basically since we arenât familiar with items from Portugal. But since the sales lady wasnât too friendly , just giving us one worded answers , I wasnât too eager to buy. Since she didnât seem like she wanted to sell me anything . So I purchased just a few items , that I knew I wanted already. The tarts was super good especially if you heat it up again , that I had to go back again. So now with my second trip I had an amazing experience with the person male staff working . He was explaining certain items and ways of cooking or eating certain things they sell. Something which I was glad to know , learning things new is always a plus . It also makes your shopping and eating experience more...
