Since I found myself in East Boston, I decided to walk into La Sultana Bakery because it was a…read moresuper convenient stop by the Maverick Station on the Blue Line. They had a number of tables available for those who wanted to consume their purchase right away. Nothing was labeled, which makes it tough to order. No names, no prices. I went with a potato and chicken empanada, and an apple triangle pastry that was generously topped with sugar crystals. The savory was well filled, while apple shrank as cooked as always. Both were tasty. On another visit I tried a few other items. The pan de bono was a wider flatter version of the round bunuelos pequenos. I found that I prefer the former.

The baked bread products aren't that special or buttery, but the cake desserts (eh tiramisu) and chicken or beef empanadas are heavenly. For the price they ask for ($3.5 for tiramisu slice, $2.50 per empanada, which comes with delicious sauces), it is very reasonable. I think this is the only place worth visiting to grab a snack, or several snacks to equate a meal, if you are near Revere Beach station.

They surprising had a good selection of pastries and pre-made savory breads. The lady helping us was nice, but she seemed unaware of some of the flavors of pastries sold there. Quick rundown of what we have ordered: Chocolate Dome Mousse: delicious chocolatey heaven, the mousse was light and airy, with a chocolate crumb base and white whipped cream in the center. It was decadent and a little too sweet for us but for most people it should be perfect. Almond Cake: OMG!! This is soooo good. I do not like too much cream in my cakes/pastries and it is so hard to find cakes, that do not have a lot of cream. Kind of a juxtaposition, but it is what it is. But the almond cake proves this juxtaposition wrong ;) The pastry has thin layers of cake and cream, was not overly sweet and had such a lovely almond tone to it. LOVED every bite of it.

To think I use to refer my clients and friends to this place. They need to bring back the other amazing woman that was there. Lines would be to the back and the did not drop a beat.

If the winter and spring don't get you, the Somerville. Okay they definitely are not as good as the sensational spectacular Pastelaria Vitoria just down the road which are the best Pastels I've ever had outside of Brazil. But they are definitely 5-star worthy and extremely cheap and spectacularly friendly and they make extremely good Abacaxi Com Hortela, which is the pineapple mint drink that I love so much. They have all kinds of other good delicious Brazilian goodies and they are cheap and they are authentic and most of all, the woman here is an angel. And she's one of the friendliest people in all of Boston - so there's no way I'm not giving them five stars even though it's only my second best pastel in the city. Note, it's also one of the best in the country because the US has barely any top notch authentic Brasileno Pastels! And if you're wondering which area it's in... it's in the Pastel-area of course!

I was looking to see what was open and I just so happened to see a Puerto Rican restaurant open around 6 AM! I just had to try the alcapurrias and empanadas so I ordered 1 or each and I have to say I absolutely LOVED the chicken burrito it was FULL of flavor and the lady on the phone sounded so nice when I called and asked for some extra salsa on the side. The beef empanada was pretty good I would say out of the 3 I tried Chicken & Cheese Beef Shrimp The Shrimp was my favorite ! The other two were pretty good but I think flavor wise the shrimp empenada knocked the other two out of the park. The Burrito was so flavorful! I would highly recommend it ! I added Rice, Onion, Pico, Jalepeno, cheese and it SMACKED! I love finding hidden gems whenever I go on my work trips

While there are a ton of pre-made options, I was looking for a more simple bowl so opted to make my own. I got a bowl with strawberries, bananas, kiwi, and mango, and you could tell all the fruit was actually fresh. I also put granola and peanut butter in my bowl. Unlike most places, the peanut butter was drizzled on the top which was a nice surprise. My only suggestion would be to have an option of how much you want drizzled on top since it was a little heavy for my own preference (still delicious). The staff was friendly and even delivered your meal to your table. While there arent a ton of seats inside, we had no issues finding a place to sit, even with another family there. I would come back here and be open to trying other items on the menu as well.

Taste is there, but sometimes their items don't feel fresh, but I also have to keep in mind that I've only gone at the end of the day, when they're an hour from closing. Their quality could be much better in the morning. I've mainly gotten their items when I'm in a rush & need a snack or in large quantities for potlucks. They have a nice selection of baked goods, sandwiches, and bagged snacks. And it's all for a reasonable price. They accept credit card for purchases over $5. Staff is nice and helpful, especially when I'm looking for recommendations for a crowd-pleasing dessert. There are a few tables, the set up seems basic, yet comfortable. Definitely a humble little bakery with a lot to offer.
