Pastelitos is a Spanish word that literally translates to "small pastries," but it relates to Cuban puff pastries in Miami. Almost all pastelitos are coated in a thick syrup that makes them exceptionally flaky and irresistibly crisp. This syrup turns into a sticky, sweet glue that clings to your lips, fingers, and anything else it comes into touch with. Almost all pastelitos are glazed in a thick syrup which becomes a sticky, sweet glue securing pastry flakes to your lips, fingers, and anything else it comes into contact with. Traditionally made with lard, which makes them extra flaky and incomparably crisp, almost all pastelitos are glazed in a thick syrup that becomes a sticky, sweet glue securing pastry flakes to your lips, fingers, and anything else it comes into contact with.

They're never empty. There are meat Pastelitos in Miami, chicken pastelitos, ham and cheese pastelitos, and even pizza topping pastelitos. Sweet pastelitos with coconut or mango are also available. Guava and cream cheese are undoubtedly the two most iconic Cuban pastelito fillings.

Blend of European Techniques with Cuban Flavors

These pastries originated in Cuba, where they were the centrepiece of a menu of sweet Cuban baked goods that mixed European techniques with tropical Cuban ingredients. In the case of the guava pastelito, a sweet paste made from the pulp of the guava fruit is blended with traditional French puff pastry.
