Once tasted, never forgotten, Portugal’s famed pastel de nata, egg custard tarts, are the sole focus of a new venture at the Las Vegas North Premium Outlets. And it is already proving a runaway hit.

Hoping to tap into the international crowd attracted to the outdoor mall, Pastel de Nata 1881 is operating a small booth on the west side to sell its wares, across from the Diane von Furstenberg, Cole Haan, and Coach outlet stores.

Created with organic milk and cage-free eggs, the team creates a limited number of tarts daily and so far, have been selling out before 6 p.m. Customers wishing to take home more than a dozen are being asked to order in advance.

Priced at $8 for four palm-sized pastries, strawberry, “melting chocolate” and “half sugar” also join the iconic, centuries-old, crisp and creamy original flavor.
