Hopefully it moves along faster than the bbq and steak house

Is that just the tavern or is the entire earl closed now?

All of Earl’s that was inside of the old La Brea Bakery location. The temp location in the food truck around the corner is still open until they finish the new location over by the new DTD entrance.

Gotcha! Wasn’t sure if the tavern was just referring to the sit down portion.

As long as I can get my caprese from the earl I won’t starve! (Pickings are getting slim in the parks! Haha)

I was expecting the new location to be almost done if not done by now. But they’ve had delays including now getting Gordon Ramsay as a tenant for the top bar/restaurant. So now I expect a spring opening.

Until the yes you should still be able to get Earls at the temp truck location. I don’t know if it’s their full menu, but should be most of the popular stuff at least.

Looks like the full sandwich menu - Caprese and Holiday Turkey are both there - my favorites!

This is the previous Earl correct? Is that going to be counter service outdoor seating or table service?

I’d hate to lose that nice open seating :-/

From the artwork it appears larger than what I had expected. Is the footprint of the building expanding?

Yes, that is why they are closing and tearing down those ticket booths right next to it.

Its being billed as both, a quick service and full table service. So imagine that some of the outdoor seating will be for the quick service and some will be for the table service. I would guess the lower portion would be the quick service seating and the second floor would be the table service.

Oh, this is looking sooooo SoDo SoPa!

 

[Disney Analyst]

It’s gonna be massive. They might do demo and go vertical on this before they finally go vertical on the Tortilla Joe’s site

 

[SuddenStorm]

I'd love to know how much Porto's is paying to get this location. I mean being 50 feet from Disneyland's main gate?

 

[Too Many Hats]

They are gonna make money hand over fist.

Won’t be long before I start to associate Disneyland with the taste of those amazing potato balls. I’m gonna pop in every visit (crowds permitting).

 

[MoonRakerSCM]

Generally the hype is real.

I've already imagined myself picking up a box of guava pastries on my way out...

 

[coffeefan]

I wouldn't be surprised if Disney pursued them for DTD. Portos is loved by locals in LA and OC.
