/Sounds like "nell" + "pa" (as in "pasta") + "STELL"/
A funny and emphatic Mexican way of saying no. It is basically "nel" (slang for no) with "pastel" (cake) added purely because it rhymes, making the rejection sound playful instead of harsh. Mexicans love adding rhymes to slang for comedic effect, and this is a perfect example. You use it when you want to say no but keep things lighthearted and goofy.
"¿Vas a ir a trabajar mañana? —Nel pastel. -> Are you going to work tomorrow? —Nope, no way."
"¿Me prestas tu carro? —Nel pastel. -> Can I borrow your car? —Haha, nope."
