Our Story

From Our Kitchen to Your Table

At Pastelitos Place, food is more than a meal. It's the smell of something cooking in the kitchen, the first bite of a crispy pastelito, and the feeling of sitting down to food made with cariño.

Right here on Broadway, we bring the comforting flavors of Dominican cooking to the Lawrence community — dough folded by hand, onions caramelized slow, chicken cooked in the caldero the way abuela did it.

A small place with a big heart.
