"Nothing Breadman bakes will ever let you down. And the same goes for their pastelitos. These have a lighter and less flaky dough, which means you could eat one before an important meeting and not look silly. They're topped with a thick glaze so glossy you can check your makeup with one. The guava filling has a balanced flavor and beautiful color. Stick to that one instead of their guava and cheese version, which usually has an uneven distribution of filling. And even though we only considered those two pastelito flavors for this ranking, Breadman has outstanding unique pastelitos like Nutella, dulce de leche, and beef with plantain." - mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
