Everytime I go back to MIA I have to do the obligatory "pastelitos" visit. Since I fly AA, it is more convenient for me to visit La Carreta inside the terminal. So which one is your favorite? Cream cheese, guava, combo, meat or coconut? I am partial to the cream cheese one. The best pastries that I have found are from this mom and pop bakery located on Coral Way by Sweetwater.
SFO is a great food destination but it lacks good Cuban eateries and from time to time I get the craving for pastries, although the other day I found out something similar to the cream cheese pastelitos called cheese puffs at Goldilocks (a Filipino bakery). I have seen this item being offered here recently so maybe a staff traveled to Miami and got inspired.
