Pastelillos de Pizza (Pizza Turnovers)
Historia

But one cart always stood out—it belonged to a lady named Doña Carmen, who made the crispiest pastelillos filled con everything from guayaba to ground carne. But one day, Don Luis spotted something different—ooey gooey queso stretching from a pastelillo like it was a slice de pizza 🍕.
