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 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.

This Guatemalan bakery and restaurant was awesome!!! We tried their sweet bread just hot fresh out of the oven and it was as soft as cotton! Tortilla de harina was also 100+! It was very worth the 50 minute trip from home and will definitely be back. The staff was really attentive and helpful. Muchas gracias!

A gem of a place that we fell upon by happenstance. So glad we did. My mother loved the baked goods – they had just come out of the oven. Delicious and friendly service.

We came for the delicious and fresh lunch!
My personal favorite is the bread on the picture that we had as appetizer while getting our lunch served.
The food was amazing! We were already full and satisfied with the food and service but also got a complimentary pan de Reyes and it was so awesome that we ate it as well
