Pastéis are a Brazilian street food delicacy. These fried pastries are often sold filled with various savory fillings like cheese, chicken, shrimp, hearts of palm, or ground beef. Pastelaria Vitoria is a pastel shop in Somerville which has a very large Brazilian community. In addition to this pastel shop it has numerous Brazilian markets and restaurants. The pastels here were good but not as good as what I get at home.
Pastry to filling ratio was a little off but still a taste of home – Rita
