These pastelitos were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter to the pastry.

I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food, but these pastelitos were really good. The pastry was flaky and the filling was flavorful.

These pastelitos were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pastelitos didn't turn out as good as I expected. The pastry was dry and the filling was bland.
