Pastelitos Café - Houston

Excelente experience trying Venezuelan food for the first time. The service was very attentive, I felt very comfortable and well received. I tried empanadas, tequeños, arepa and pastelito de carne. I highly recommend the pastelito de carne, was amazing!Certainly I will come back :

I was quite disappointed with my experience. The prices were on the higher side, and the customer service was terrible. I ordered pastelitos, which were the least expensive items on the menu. However, I couldn't find any cheese in the cheese and potato pastelitos, so I would rate them a 2 out of 5. The Caribbean meat pastelitos (ground beef) were just okay, earning a 3 out of 5. For a drink, I ordered Papelon con Limon, but I couldn’t taste the lime at all—I'm guessing they used Minute Maid lime juice, so that gets a 1 out of 5. Additionally, I should mention that the restaurant is not pet-friendly.

This is the best Venezuelan food I've had in Houston. I've been to several Venezuelan restaurants, but none match the service, atmosphere, or flavor of Pastelitos Cafe. I always look forward to returning.

Authentic Venezuelan cuisine!! Not overly greasy for the arepas. Black beans were really good, rice was savory, and the shredded beef- spot on! A strong ?try this place?.

The food was fantastic! My boyfriend ordered the breakfast combo with mango juice, and I had the criolla breakfast along with some Venezuelan coffee. Everything was delicious. Carolina was incredibly sweet and provided excellent customer service. It's such a charming little gem. I definitely recommend it!
