Pastéis are savory, deep-fried pastries known for their crispy exterior and diverse range of fillings. The main flavors revolve around the filling, ranging from savory meats and cheeses to even pizza-inspired combinations.
The primary flavor profile of a pastel comes from its filling. Common fillings include ground beef, cheese (often mozzarella or a local cheese), and variations mimicking pizza flavors with tomato sauce, cheese, and oregano. The deep-frying process contributes a rich, savory, and slightly oily flavor, while the dough itself provides a neutral, slightly salty base. The contrast between the crispy crust and the savory, often cheesy or meaty, filling is a defining characteristic.

Eat it Fresh
Pastel is best enjoyed immediately after frying, while the crust is still hot and crispy.
Pair with Caldo de Cana
A classic pairing with pastel is caldo de cana (sugar cane juice). The sweetness of the juice complements the savory flavor of the pastel.
Choose Your Filling Wisely
Experiment with different fillings to find your favorite. While classic options like ground beef and cheese are always a safe bet, don't be afraid to try more adventurous fillings.
