Pastels are believed to have originated from Chinese spring rolls brought to Brazil by Japanese immigrants during the 20th century. Adapting the concept to local ingredients and culinary preferences, the Japanese-Brazilians created the pastel as we know it today, offering a quick and tasty street food option.

Pastels offer a delightful combination of crispy, flaky crust and savory fillings, creating a satisfying textural and flavorful experience.
The dominant flavor profile depends heavily on the filling. Common fillings like ground beef offer a savory, meaty taste, often enhanced with onions, garlic, and sometimes olives or hard-boiled eggs. Cheese fillings provide a rich, creamy saltiness. Chicken pastels can be seasoned with herbs, spices, and vegetables for a more complex taste. The deep-frying process contributes a characteristic crispy, golden-brown crust with a slightly oily richness.
Función Premium
Enjoy Hot and Fresh
Pastels are best enjoyed immediately after frying when the crust is at its crispiest and the filling is piping hot.
Pair with Molho de Pimenta
A drizzle of molho de pimenta (Brazilian hot sauce) adds a spicy kick that complements the savory flavors of the pastel.
Choose Your Filling Wisely
Experiment with different fillings to discover your favorite combination. Classic options like carne (ground beef) and queijo (cheese) are always a safe bet, but don't be afraid to try more adventurous fillings like palmito (heart of palm) or frango com catupiry (chicken with catupiry cheese).
