Inside the Experience
PASTES DUQUE
PASTES DUQUE stands out as a must-visit culinary gem located conveniently in the commercial zone of the OXXOGAS Acayuca service station along the Mexico-Pachuca highway. This eatery specializes in crafting traditional pastes—savory and sweet Mexican pastries—prepared with care and variety that invites both locals and travelers alike.
What truly sets PASTES DUQUE apart is the remarkable diversity and authenticity in their fillings. From richly spiced chicken tinga and tender carne asada to the distinct and flaky mole verde and mole rojo, each paste tells a story of regional flavors. The dough itself varies with the filling, offering textures that range from a delicate puff pastry to a soft, comforting bread, which enhances the tasting experience and shows the kitchen’s thoughtful craftsmanship.
Customers consistently praise the generous portions and balanced flavors, making each bite satisfying and memorable. The savory options, such as the cochinita paste, have become favorites, while sweeter variants provide a delightful contrast. Although some reviewers have mentioned that service can be slow and the ambiance less than pristine at times, the quality of the pastes more than compensates, turning every visit into a worthwhile stop.
The 24-hour service is a significant advantage, especially for those traveling late or craving authentic Mexican comfort food at unconventional hours. The friendly staff and available amenities, including nearby restroom facilities, further enhance convenience and comfort during your visit.
Overall, my experience with PASTES DUQUE is an enriching dive into the heart of Hidalgo's culinary traditions. The rich, flaky dough and the full-bodied fillings shine through every offering, making it a standout destination for those seeking both familiar and bold flavors. If you find yourself on the Mexico-Pachuca route, PASTES DUQUE promises a delicious pause that’s worth every minute of the wait.

“ Excelentes pastes. Amplia variedad de rellenos y sabores, dulces y salados precios accesibles y buena atención. Servicio algo lento pero vale la pena la espera! ”
“ Los pastes de este lugar son deliciosos, nuestros favoritos de mole verde, mole rojo y piña. La masa de cada uno es diferente, los de mole verde son de una pasta más parecida al hojaldre. Deliciosos! El personal amable y hay un sanitario de pago al lado por lo que es una parada con servicios disponibles. ”
“ If you're a fan of boldly flavored chicken tinga, carne asada, or flaky artisnal empanadas, I highly recommend Pastes Duque! Choriqueso was just okay, but I've never had better chicken tinga. They offer a wide array of sweet and savory options. The style of empanada bread varies depending on the flavor you choose. Instead of doing it one standard way, the level of crunchiness and flakiness is selected based on what pairs best with what's inside. Service was quick and friendly. The dining room is nicely decorated. Even though it wasn't busy, no one had bothered to clean the dining area, so be prepared to either wipe down your own table or skip several until you find one that isn't full of empanada crumbs. Despite this, there's no way I'd come to Mexico City without stopping here for lunch at least once. The homemade flavor paired with artisnal bread craftsmanship really impressed my tastebuds. ”
“ Este lugar me gusta mucho, siempre que voy a Pachuca de regreso paso a los pastes. Ahí hacen unas tortas muy buenas ”
“ Aunque llegué de noche el lugar estaba muy sucio y la atención fue muy mala, sin embargo los pastes eran muy ricos, la masa está muy bien hecha y los guisados están buenos, sin duda regreso no por el servicio solo por la comida y para llevar porque todas las mesas estaban sucias ”
