Pastelitos are flaky Cuban pastries made from buttery puff pastry dough and filled with a variety of sweet (like guava, guava and cheese) or savory (like picadillo, ham, or cheese) fillings. Popular in Havana bakeries and Cuban-American communities, they are typically baked until golden and served as a breakfast item, snack, or party treat. Sweet versions are often brushed with sugar syrup to create a glossy finish, while savory ones are left crisp and golden. These pastries reflect Cuba’s Spanish and Caribbean culinary blend and are often paired with strong Cuban coffee.

Common variations include Pastelitos de Guayaba, Pastelitos de Queso, or Pastelitos de Carne.
