  1. YUMMM all of this looks so amazing! I’m so happy to be back in Latin America (I’m in Nicaragua currently) where foods like this are always available. Pastelitos were entirely different in Venezuela, much more like an empanada, and you’re so right, it changes in every country so I can hardly keep track of what’s what! But it usually doesn’t matter because like you said it’s all SO DELICIOUS! Healthy, ehhhh not so much, delicious, yes! Thanks for making me hungry 😉

      Yes! The bread too, that changes from country to country and I love seeing the variations 🙂 Sounds like you’ve had an amazing sampling of Latin America, hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Nicaragua!

    WOW! I had no idea these were a thing and now I find myself toying with the idea of a Miami trip JUST to enjoy them. Totally digging your scrumptious descriptions, and I think I’ll be craving a lemon pastry all day. And yes, I also think it’s sad I’ve never experienced a croqueta. Time to fix that.

  3. Oh wow! This looks so delicious. I relly enjoyed reading this post, as I’m planning to go to Miami to look for all the best Cuban things availabel there. This will be a great help 🙂

  4. OMG. Cuban pastries look awesome! I love anything deep fried, stuffed with sweet or savoury – I will have one of each!

  5. This really made my mouth water! I had a lot of empanadas in Argentina and absolutely love them, I’ve never thought to try making them at home but maybe I should?

    1. You absolutely should Louise! You can buy the dough from your local supermarket, most likely they’ll sell the Goya brand in the frozen foods section. So easy to make and you can freeze them for later! One of my favorite quick meals 🙂

  6. Gawd, pastries are my favourite type of comfort food. I could eat them all day, I’ve tried a cuban pastry before – so it’ll my aim to see if I can source them locally (UK)!

    1. I hope you can find some! If not, I sense a business opportunity because these bad boys sell themselves haha 😉

  7. I’ve never been to the Miami area, but this list of local favorites is very tempting! I think I would want to try Karla’s Bakery. Thanks for the suggestions!

  8. Cuban pastries in Miami must be a delight to find. Thanks for the guide! Often when we go to a place, we expect to have the dishes of that place. But stumbling upon cuisines from different parts of the world anywhere comes as a welcome choice for us travelers.

    1. Glad you enjoyed it Neha! These are definitely a Miami staple, worth a try if you’re ever in the area! 🙂

  9. Oh wow, I am craving croquettes SO badly now! I adore Cuban food and I pass through Miami on my travels quite a bit. I have bookmarked this for future reference (MIA here I come)

    1. Enjoy Rosie! You can’t go wrong with any place I mentioned, and totally take some back with you to snack on the plane! 🙂

  10. Yum! My mouth is watering. I love empanadas too and your wonderful round-up has me dreaming of a trip to Miami ASAP. Thanks for sharing!
