Guava Pastelitos as Burger Buns? Only at Guayaba Restaurant

We’ve got some sweet news to share—literally. Our sister restaurant, Guayaba Restaurant, is making waves with one of Miami’s most deliciously unexpected creations: the Guava Burger.

This isn’t your average burger. It starts with juicy Angus beef, gets a creamy twist with a stuffed center of cream cheese, and ditches the buns for something a little more Pinecrest style—two guava pastelitos. It’s bold, it’s nostalgic, and it’s pure Miami.

As the Miami Herald put it:

"Forget burger buns. Bread is so over. Instead, try a burger stuck between two flaky guava pastelitos. Guayaba Restaurant, from the founders of Pinecrest Bakery, are now offering this only-in-Miami creation, which is also stuffed with cream cheese because cream cheese and guava are the perfect match."

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Bake Magazine and Restaurant Hospitality also spotlighted the Guava Burger, applauding its playful take on Cuban-American comfort food and celebrating how Guayaba is pushing pastry beyond the dessert case.

You can find this sweet-and-savory masterpiece exclusively at Guayaba Restaurant, located at:

• 📍 8398 NW 58th St., Doral

• 📍 21657 S Dixie Hwy Suite A, Goulds

Whether you're a pastelito fan or just curious enough to try something new, the Guava Burger is calling your name.

Go ahead—skip the bun. Pick pastelitos instead.
