PANADERIA PERLA DE ORIENTE

This is my second time visiting since October 2025, and we had several standout dishes. The churrasco chapín was my favorite, where each bite of every component was loud with flavor. Another was the steak al Antigua—the sauce was amazing, bright, and a nice balance with all the components. Pupusas de loroco to start, always. One thing you must do: buy at least a dozen pan dulces to go. They are the absolute best Guatemalan breads I’ve ever had, and even beat some of my favorite panaderías in Southern California. The whole food experience transports me back to LATAM. I’m always happy to make the 50 min drive from the Bronx just to savor this meal.

Stumbled upon a hidden gem while exploring the historical town of Peekskill! I highly recommend checking this place out. It was my first time trying Guatemalan food & we were left speechless. The tortilla is made fresh for each order. You can taste the freshness and authenticity of each dish.

I found this restaurant and am so satisfied with the price and the taste of the menus. This will be my restaurant for quick meals. The staff are courteous as well

I can't believe I've given other places 5 stars given the service my husband and I received when we came here. Emilio assisted us and we had their pollo asado, popusas, horchata and tres leches. Not only did it feel like a home cooked meal but the service was impeccable. Can't wait to come back and try everything else. Gracias Perla de oriente!

We stopped for late night treats on a Saturday night, and we were glad we did. Tamales (pork and chicken) were first rate. Cakes were very good, especially the tres leches. Good value. Friendly staff. Definitely worth the trip.
