FAB
Reminds me of the ones I had in Portugal. I buy a pack eat one then puts the rest in the freezer.
Not as good as the old ones
Having bought a pack of these tarts everyday since 2019, I think I know them well! Since lockdown in March 2020, I was only able to order 2 or 3 packs of these each week. They were unavailable for around 6 weeks from October 2020 till December 2020. I was delighted to see they were back in stock and I began to order 3 boxes a week. Well, I did, but these current tarts are NOT a patch on the original. Either the ingredients or the supplier has changed, because they do not taste as good. No, I do not have loss of test ( Covid Neg), nor does my partner , or another friend who also bought a pack. We all agree these current tarts are inferior to the old ones. The new packaging while having less plastic, is not that great either. The locks to snap the lid and base together open very easily when being transferred. If the label is used to keep both parts shut, this helps a lot, but not every bakery assistant does this.
Not too bad at all really....
For anyone who has visited the Antiga Confeitaria de Belem in Lisbon will know that these are nothing like the Pasteis de Nata. However, I do think they are a credible attempt as a copy and they appear regularly on my shopping list. Do not attempt to eat them cold. Pop them in a cold (not preheated) oven set at 160. Turn oven on and leave for 8 to 10 minutes. The pastry crisps up and the custard is warm as it should be. Perfect with a cappuccino.
Hit and miss
First time I had these the pastry was beautifully crisp and delicious, and I would have given them 5 stars. The following time I bought them they were not nearly as nice as they were soft, and just like a normal egg custard, and not worth the 50p each (even though we ate them within 2 hours of the delivery arriving).
Utterly fabulous
These are absolutely fabulous. I have been to Madeira several times and eaten these and the Tesco version is a totally accurate reflection of the real thing. They need to be warmed in the oven to enjoy them at their best. Don’t listen to the dissenters - give them a try - you won’t be disappointed. And please Tesco don’t ever stop making them.
Oh my these are really really good
Oh my these are really really good
Amazing
These are amazing, so much so that I am writing this review in the hope that everyone will rush and buy them to save me from eating them all! It's like an improved custard tart! Delicious :)
Delicious, very close to original Portuguese ones.

Keep these in stock please
Wonderful tarts at a good and fair price but no always in stock
Nice nd different everyone should try one of these
I bought these tarts for the first time they are actually good a bit different than regular ones i do prefer the custard tarts that have the normal pastry not that this one wasnt nice. We all have our own preferences. I would buy these again they are nice 😉
