It's difficult not to inhale the sweet aroma of a warm, perfectly baked pastelito when entering a Cuban bakery.
The Dominican Republic is famous for its pastelito. Pasties, or pastels as they are more commonly known, are found in almost every Latino country or island (as well as many other non-Hispanic cultures). Pastelitos, on the other hand, are only served as a snack in Mexico, whereas in other countries, pastels are a meal.
Let's talk about Pastelitos first if you want to enjoy the best Pastelitos in Miami.

Popular fillings include cream cheese quesitos, guava (pastelito de guayaba), and cheese, pineapple, and coconut. Typically, the pastries are consumed as a snack at any time of day.
Pastelitos, known for their golden-orange color and flaky dough, are the signature pastry of every Cuban bakery.
