CLOSED DOWN very sad :( better pastel than I've had in Brazil. We miss you! Come back! read more

I absolutely love the Chicken Pastel. It has me in a chokehold. Anytime I'm near west campus, especially late at night, I can't help but stop in for the piping hot, pulled chicken, fried, cheesy, hot sauce topped goodness. For a night owl, this is my go to late night snacky snack. As for the other offerings on the menu, there are plenty. But when I find what I like I rarely stray from it. The service is always fast and friendly and the outdoor food truck bench table sitting makes for good people watching while you wait. But I never stick around for long, there are college students everywhere... Duh, Sarah! All in all, I love this little hidden gem food truck, the overhead bulb lighting's nostalgic flare, and the pastel drenched in hot sauce, always get my juices flowing!! read more

Great choice for late night fuel. Latest seasonal Stroganoff is an example of the changing delicious menu. Be sure to try a few different things to find your favorite. read more

The churro on the truck picture looks nothing like the churro you get. I was looking forward to a traditionally long, and crunchy churro. They were not that, but dang they were awesome!!! Soooo good! Great price on them too! They came out hot and the topping was warm! Great - quick service. Loved the whole experience!!! read more

The best Brazilian pastel ever, the açaí bowl is fantastic. The churros supreme is great too. Highly recommend this Brazilian food. Service is very friendly. Thank you read more

Holy Romeo and Juliet!?! Who knew that guava and cheese were 2 things that should go together? I for sure didn't and then put it inside of a delicate, perfect crispy pastry ... I mean it's what dreams are made of! If I knew about this when this truck used to be south I would have been there more often! Now they are located in a food truck park by UT campus. Depending on the day and time parking can be difficult but it's worth the head ache for a pastel, especially the Romeo and Juliet! The food here is amazing and the staff is always friendly. If you are in the food truck park trying to decide what to eat I'd say give this place your business! You won't regret it! read more

To get straight to the point- this was SO GOOD. For context- pastel is a Brazilian street food that closely resembles an empanada. It was a lot bigger than I expected and all of them were so flavorful. The shredded chicken mixed with parsley and green onion was a *chefs kiss* and THAT CHEESE HIT DIFFERENT uuugggghhh it was like soft and fluffy almost like cream cheese. The second one I had was the "Bauru" which had shredded ham, sliced tomato, mozzarella, and oregano. The mozzarella was perfectly melted and the flavor of the ham was divine. The last one I had was called "Romeo & Juliet". I got this one because it reminded me of Puerto Rico with the guava paste and cheese pairing and BOY it was so so so good. That flavor combination is one of my all time and looooookkkk attttt alllll thatttt guavaaaa pasteeee 20/10 ‍ read more

A little taste of Brazil! Give yourself a chance to eat "pastel", a Brazilian version of empanadas. Not too salty, crispy dough, not too oily as well. Good selection of flavors (savory and sweet), there's even a vegan option of heart of palms!!! They're huge and the price is worth it! read more

Got the beef pastel, never had a pastel before so didn't know what to expect. It's really f*ckin good

We stopped here yesterday afternoon! The food was fire! Absolutely incredible. We had the Meat and Cheese Pastel, the ham and cheese and two pepperoni pastels. The owner gave us two guava drinks to try. The food was the best thing I've ever had! I was blown away. We went back ordered two more cans of juice and another meat and cheese. Ate that. Then went back a third time ordered two more drinks and another meat and cheese for the road! Absolutely awesome amazing food! read more

The fact that Pastelaria São Paulo serve the pastel with vinagrete it's already a plus! I tried the beef & cheese, chicken with cream cheese, and palm heart with mushrooms, my favorito I would say it's the chicken with cream cheese. Diogo and Clara did a great job with the crispy dough and with the customer service. I definitely recommend you to stop by and try this famous Brazilian street food! read more

Tasty pastels and friendly service. Easy to find parking and lots of seating, some covered too for pasty delicate snowbirds like me :)

been meaning to try this place out since they moved to West Campus and im really glad i did. came for the hearts of palm pastel but they were out, so i went with cheese and it was crispy, flaky and perfect. Price is very reasonable since it's quite big - larger than my hand! can confirm that this is the closest you can get to authentic Brazilian street food in Austin. Also Diogo is so nice and service is fast. I wish they hadn't been out of the diet Guaraná or the hearts of palm, but I did come by on a Sunday afternoon, so I'll have to come back another day for those. read more

I came here last weekend right as they were opening and could not have been more satisfied! I tried the chicken and beef pastels. The chicken was super creamy and comforting, but my favorite was hands down the beef pastel. The olives and onion gave it such a perfect flavor! Both were served with vinaigrette to put on top, which is basically the Brazilian version of pico de gallo. I'm excited to come back and try some of the other pastels! There is a small parking lot for the area food trucks, but when I went (around 7 pm on a Saturday) street parking was also very easy to find. It's right next to Manolis and Bananarchy, so you have lots of great dessert options after you eat. read more

The best and tastiest pastel in Austin. I loved that now they have coxinhas and churros.. Best way to ease the nostalgia for Brazil the space is cozy and the service is excellent, always polite and helpful. read more

I've ordered them on Uber Eats and never had a bad experience. I'm crazy about the Pizza and Beef Pastels! I'd recommend anyone to give them a try. I would love to see more variety to accompany their current menu. Sometimes I wish I could order a side to go with my pastel or try other entrees the chefs come up with. Looking forward for more! read more

The food at Pastelaria São Paolo is delicious, filling, and true traditional Brazilian comfort food. The food truck's location is awesome with nice outdoor lighting for a perfect chill date night or a fun outdoor dinner with friends! There's also an awesome dessert spot in the same food park so that's super convenient I can't wait to go back! Update-- Get the Romeo and Juliet. Guava and mozzarella pair unexpectedly well together into what I imagine is a Brazilian version of baked Brie. SO GOOD. read more

i can't believe i've lived this long without having pastels... they are so delicious! the dough isn't too heavy or oily - just perfectly crispy. the savory ones are good but the guava and cheese one is impeccable! read more

This is probably going to be my favorite food truck in town. I confess I was a little worried about the taste not been truly Brazilian. But the "pastels" are amazing! I had the cheese, beef and heart of palm and still deciding which one was my favorite. Location is perfect with plenty of spots to park. The service is great, I had my food prepared within minutes. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great place, awesome food, and very friendly staff. Would highly recommend them! Their prices are fair. Food is made fresh and you can actually see them make it through their window! We drive about 35 mins every other week just to eat here, it's that good. read more

The pastels here are incredibly yummy, well-priced, and bigger than I expected. I ordered the chicken and hearts of palm to-go over the phone, and when I got there about 10 min later, they were ready to go in a cute little bag, smelling deliciously tempting on the ride home. I'd never had a pastel before, but was very pleasantly surprised. The dough on the outside was flaky, and had been fried to a bubbly crisp. The oil they were cooked in was obviously very fresh and clean tasting. Old oil is one of my personal pet peeves, so that scored some major points for me. The hearts of palm pastel is vegetarian, and has a mix of palm and mushrooms. Very tasty whether you have dietary restrictions or not! Tbh, I haven't had the chicken and cream cheese one yet. The other was so filling that I saved the chicken one for my lunch today, and I'm very excited to eat it. The food truck is pretty easy to find, parked at the lot on the cross streets of south 1st and w live oak. Bonus--there's a fantastic South American dessert truck and the bananarchy truck in the same lot, so it's a great place to hang out for some dinner and dessert. read more

I was hungry on my way home from the gym tonight. I decided to stop at the food trailer park on South First street. I walked over to see if they had Açaí bowls. They don't, but the guy started talking to me We talked about how they add guarana to the açaí bowl in Brazil. He told me about a food trailer on Barton Springs that has açaí bowls. He asked if I had tried pastel. I said that I hadn't. He was super friendly. So I decided to try a pastel. It tasted fresh and delicious. I bought the heart of palm version. He brought my pastel out to me and included a guarana soda like they have in Brazil without charge just because of our conversation. This guy was so friendly and nice. I will definitely go back. Austin is lucky to have all of the food options and friendly people that we do. Go to PASTELARIA SAO PAULO! Also go to Brazil if you get the chance. It's a great experience. read more

This is the only thing I really carve in Austin. The pastels are delicious! I love the beef one, and the Romeo and Juliet one (a desert pie with guava). They are always made fresh. They make my mouth water. Down right amazing. read more

This place is extremely delicious! Shredded beef and cheese pastel and I really loved all the flavors and textures inside of it. Not to mention the dipping sauce that was delightful!!! I recommend five stars and yes to anyone wanting read more

Oh man this was perfect! This was not only cooked to order, but no doubt it was cooked from scratch. If you've ever wanted to know what food tastes like when it's made with love, this should be one of your main stops in Austin. read more

Love this place! I've had the chicken and cheese, beef, and pizza. All are great but the pizza was my favorite- not sure if it's traditional but it's so yummy! These are bigger than you think and a perfect grab and go option. Can't wait to come back and try the guava! A plus that the owners are super friendly :) read more

Great food, and fast too. Nice man who runs the business. I got the beef and cheese/ chicken pastels. DELICIOUS.

This is in a food truck park. Ive never tried a brazilian pastel but i think it would be a yummy snack! basically a brazilian empanada. i would recommend the heart of palm pastel! It was a nice portion and i loved the slaw/salad on the side read more

Waited 40 minutes for soggy, salty pastel!! Truly not great, couldn't even finish mine because it was so oily too! They are usually better so I guess it can be a hit or miss situation. When you go there make sure to ask how long it will take otherwise you will end up in a similar situation. read more

Amazing. Like a empanada but better - light and fluffy outside and great fillings! I got the beef one. It was crispy and delicious. It came with a side sauce but it didn't need it. read more

I am fortunate enough to spend a good amount of my time in the West Campus neighborhood, and this place is my new spot. I get the beef and cheese and it's literally CONSISTENTLY the best food truck experience I've ever had. Every time. I also get the Romeo y Juliet for dessert (pastel filled with guava paste and mozzarella cheese) and it's so perfect. I originally thought it was an odd pairing of ingredients, the guava and the mozzarella, but now I understand why they call it the Romeo y Juliet. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. I'm literally walking outside to head there now. Keep it up guys. read more

These pastels are truly one of my favorite things to eat in Austin. I eat the chicken and cream cheese one while my partner likes the beef and cheese. The pastels are made after you order, so they are handed out the window piping hot. Such a delicious bite, between the well-seasoned filling and the crispy fried shell. Annnnnd now I want another. read more
