Our Story
Family-owned since 2005, Aruba's #1 pastechi destination
The Pastechi House
Family-Owned Since 2005
Born in Aruba. Produced in Our Own Facilities.
The Pastechi House opened its doors in 2005 on Caya G.F. Betico Croes, Oranjestad's bustling Main Street. From day one, the mission was simple: make the best pastechi in Aruba, using only the freshest ingredients, prepared daily in our own production facility.
The pastechi is Aruba's iconic fried pastry, a slightly sweet golden dough stuffed with savory fillings. Think of it as the island's answer to the empanada, but with a character all its own. At The Pastechi House, we took this beloved tradition and elevated it with over 20 premium flavors.
From classic ham & cheese to lobster (when in season), from keri keri fish to Indian samosa, from spanakopita to vegan cheese, every flavor is handmade with care. We guarantee consistency in flavor and texture.
Twenty years later, we're proud to be Aruba's most famous pastechi destination. Featured in Fodor's, Aruba.com, and TasteAtlas, with 1,396 Google reviews and counting.
