ALOHA MAMACITA

Aloha Mamacita, known for its birria-themed menu and variety of desserts, just launched new croissant tarts ($9.95). Don’t be fooled by the “tart” name, though— these treats are anything but small.

The tarts feature house-made croissant dough with a variety of fillings. Choose from fruit (pastry cream, strawberries and blueberries), chocolate, crème brûlée, cookie butter cheesecake, ube and strawberry cheesecake.
