Perla de Oriente Kitchen

From the very first bite, this place completely won me over. The tacos al pastor are packed with rich flavor and perfectly cooked pork, paired with a green sauce that keeps you coming back for more. The empanadas and pupusas are just as satisfying and clearly made with care. The hot food counter offers a great variety, and every dish I have tried so far has been excellent. Even without seating, the quick and friendly service makes the experience enjoyable. The staff is welcoming and happy to explain the menu, which adds a personal touch. This spot truly feels like a special find and is absolutely worth visiting.

First off, the tacos al pastor are phenomenal! They have big chunks of well seasoned pork and a green sauce so delicious it'll make you upset you didn't come in sooner (I've gotten an order everytime i've gone). The empenadas and papusas deserve a shout out too. They have a steam table with tons of hot food and I'm on a quest to try it all, and so far everything has been delicious! There is no seating, but the service is fast and friendly, always with a smile. The gentleman behind the counter took the time to explain what the dishes at the hot bar were to me, which I appreciated. Overall, this place is a hidden gem worth giving a shot!

If you’re looking for authentic Guatemalan food that tastes like it’s straight from the heart of the country, this is it. This family owned gem run by Armando is the real deal. You can taste the tradition and love in every dish. Highly recommend stopping by, you won’t leave hungry or disappointed!

Pupusas were good but the sauce it came with wasn’t my favorite The chicken tacos were delicious but had a couple pieces of bone that almost chipped my tooth in 3 bites I had, overall the price was excellent for a good amount of food for two people.

Their food is TOO damn good. So much care and love. I make a stop whenever I'm in Trenton.
