Food is really good. Staff is really nice. I feel the door dash platform could be a bit more specific when ordering because I've gotten something different than what I thought I ordered when it come to the pupusas so a bit disappointing but still was delicious. read more

Pupusas omg so delicious. My family and I were just hanging out and decided let's order some. We got like 25 pupusas. So delicious and affordable. The food was ready in a timely matter which made the service a pleasure. read more

pupusas are amazing. the nachos with frijoles for the appetizer was great. our server was very sweet. However, the scenery and the vibe could be more welcoming. read more

Ate here today...recently moved from queens and i am such a foodie! This place was okay.. The food: it was okay. We had the Bifstec al caballo, mar y tierra, tamal de elote and 2 drinks (patron & cranberry) The pros: the tamal was really good, staff was really friendly and polite. It did not take as long as everyone says it does. The cons: food lacks flavor and...the already included service charge for 2 people before 6pm. We really saw no reason for this service charge. The staff was friendly but friendly and efficient are 2 different things. We had to ask another waitress for water and had 1 waitress take our order that i repeated 2 times and had another waitress run my order. The bill took forever to come...for the surprise of the added service charge. Final thoughts: ill come here only for a tamal to go! Ill drive back to queens for actual food until i find something near our new home. read more

La Perla De Oriente Restaurante - Bifstec al caballo - Spanish Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

Food is great but large delays when it comes to serving food. You'd think that during COVID-19 their goal as a bar/restaurant to become more efficient when it comes to delivering food or preparing food that they wouldn't take so long but they do. Had to wait 40 minutes for my food and on top of that I'm like the only one eating/ordering here. The servers who pickup the phone show some professionalism but take any offense to any inconvenience on the clients end such as wanting to order in person because of the lack of hearing from the servers end. read more

Went to this place for a surprise baby shower and they got a patron for life. What a great little Spanish bar. The music and atmosphere is traditional Latin theme. The staff was wonderful and fast. I really enjoyed the place. I was even greeted by the owner, Santos, a very nice guy. But let me tell you about the food, In one word.......Amazing! They stick to the classic Spanish menu when the food came out hot and fresh. My favorite was the steak, it was cooked well and marinated well. It held in great flavor and was easy to cut. The buffalo wings were also a hit. They were the first to go, and everyone took some. They were meaty and had a little kick to them. Normally I don't like them that way but they made them well. If I ever have my need to do Spanish food again and I'm in the area, this will be the place I go to. read more

Es un perfecto lugar para disfrutar en familia, ve y pásala bien sobre todo los días de karaoke,, viernes y sábado

Ok let me start by thanking for the people who have given the past reviews you are right . The food is good but not good enough to keep me as a customer even if you gave me the food for free. The service is horrible ! Today I ordered a meal that was 13 dollars @ 6:33 pm it did not arrive till 3 hours later I am serious they accidentally delivered my food to another place and the person paid for it ! I then called the shop but there environment was so loud that got my address wrong then they sent the driver with my food second time and they got the address wrong again ! Yes wow such service was madness then after that the driver calls me back to get full address again because the lady who picked up & owner did not understand me and I speak Spanish what a shame ! Tip (turn down music ) I said yes I like the food delivered and I have ordered numerous times and this was the 2nd time last time was 1 hour & this time it was 3 hours but this is not all Have you in mind if you are late for three hours you would think they would give you the food complimentary nooooo!!!! Not them they reduced it only 3 dollars I guess a dollar for every dollar so if I waited 14 hours for the food I would of got it free ! The place in side is not a good environment for me & all you people can take your chance on that but the service makes me never ever to order from them ever again till I die because it is a shame that the owner did not even seem to care I guess it's normal for them to have such service ..... I should of went to Taco Bell it would of been at least better service & food !! It's not worth the hassle for anyone to go through headaches especially when they thought the place was 5 star but 12 days later after numerous problems & order delays and people not being able to listen to your address given for delivery it becomes a serious problem ! If I could give it a -5 stars I would !! I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE NOT EVEN TO MY ENEMYS! read more

It's a nice location, the food is great and the price is fair. The only issue is the food takes a long time to come out. Joked with my wife that at least we know it's fresh. $60 with out tip, I had the steak and my wife had the rice with seafood. The dining area isn't hughe but they have about 4 tvs to watch while you eat and a full bar with chairs. They have a separate area with a pool table and more tvs. Seems like a place to visit even if your not eating. read more

La Perla De Oriente Restaurante - Steak was really good, my wife had the other dish and she enjoyed it. Shrimp, clams, rice and other things. - Spanish Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

First time coming here. Definitely does not have curb appeal, once inside it looks dated, we stood by entrance when customers were super friendly told us seat yourselves, waitress was walking towards us at this point also very friendly. Our waitress was Rosie, she was on top of everything gave us plenty of time to look over the menu, attentive checking on us to assure we had everything we needed, brought over nachos and frijoles con queso fresco for appetizers. No beer on tap here, we had Model and Pinot Grigio (only white wine choice). We ordered corn tamale and beef empanada for appetizer, oxtail soup, tilapia in cream sauce, porgy, coffee and tres leche. Everything was good, I noticed a pool table in the side room, will definitely be back I was told the papusa is very good and I saw another table getting the seafood soup that looked really good. P.S the soups are quite large 16oz bowls. read more

Walked in to grab some lunch by myself and I stood there like an idiot waiting to be seated... A waiter walked quickly by me and didn't bother to say a word. So I walked up to where a man was standing behind the bar and asked for a lunch menu(like the paper that is on the wall when you first enter)... He gave me a dinner menu at 12pm... I had to ask again for a lunch menu and instead he asked me what I wanted to order. I asked again for the lunch menu because it was my first time there and he finally gave me one. By that time I was already annoyed and after seeing that the place was completely empty I just said F it and left. Sucks when you walk in ready to spend money and you get ignored lmao Welp read more

I am impressed, La Perla De Oriente Restaurante was definitely phenomenal. I can see the charm and why so many love La Perla De Oriente Restaurante. Each and every single menu item that we have purchased was extremely fresh and delicious. Workers are really friendly and service is very quick. La Perla De Oriente Restaurante, I would definitely come back here again :) read more

Inside is full of drunks definitely not a place for children but the papusas are great. I used to only be able to eat twice or three times a year when my best friends mom would make them. But now I have a place to go when I crave them ! read more

Ordered online and waited over an hour only to call and find out they don't deliver ...ugh... and I paid for delivery.

Definitely nothing fancy but you can be sure to find all the typical dishes from El Salvador. I intend on coming back for their mariscada soup next time. On this visit I went cheap with 4 pupusas half cheese half chicharon. Mix the red Sauce and picked cabbage together and just dip your pupusa in it. Golden. read more

I arrive at the restaurant Saturday with a friend who wanted to eat a "sopa de marisco" as he had recommended the restaurant. I ordered the mar y tierra thinking the food would be at least halfway decent. it took almost an hour for the food to arrive, It looked presentable but when i took a bite of the steak it was entirely overcooked it tasted more like liver than a steak. The shrimp tasted like charcoal, the chicken was so dry and the sausage tasted like water had no flavor whatsoever.. i attempted to eat the rice but at that point i was upset. A waiter finally came by and asked if i wanted to take the plate to go as i had only tasted the plate because it was so terrible i didn't even attempt to eat it. I told her i didn't want to take the food home because it did not taste good.. The waiter instead of asking what was wrong just said "ok" with an attitude and took the plate away. The friend i went with also complained his soup had no flavor and was disappointed. We didn't even bother to ask for a discount or anything as i will never come back to this restaurant nor recommend it to anyone. read more

La Perla De Oriente Restaurante - 25. Mar Y Tierra - Spanish Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

I've been going to this spot for a couple years now, basically since they opened. They always made great dishes at pretty cheap prices. The only downfall was that the waitresses spoke Spanish, and weren't very good with English. Well, that's pretty much changed and the waitresses are pretty good with English now. They recently changed the quality of food and the way they make some of their dishes (the steak fajita for example). OH MY GOD this place is better than before. If I could give 6 stars I would. Everything here is awesome! The empanadas, steak and chicken fajitas, the soups, tacos...everything. We've never had a bad experience here. This place is a hidden gem. Not to mention their prices are extremely fair for the amount of food you get. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the VS area. read more

They need more people that speak English The food is good.but I don't speak Spanish so when I call the waiter can never understand what I want and gets the order wrong. But at least there nice friendly people read more

Terrible customer service, called for a delivery was placed on hold, when she came back on she asked for our adddress then put on hold again. Came back on only to ask for our address again. When I was placed on hold again I finally hung up and threw their menu in the trash. read more

My boyfriend and I used to get take out from here. We mostly would get yuca and pupusas. Today my boyrfriend tried the steak tacos and 30 mins later he was in terrible stomach pain and he started throwing up so much!! I felt so bad, never going here again!!!! read more

The food was good and the waitress was nice, but they gave me my food 1hr later.

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere the food is ok the service stinks and that don't care we are customers who are not of the proper ethnic persuasion! Gave two because some one worked too make food !!!!! In this very competing NY metro LI market diners are better ! read more

If you are hungry do not go here. .. service is terrible.. seated took the waitress 10 mins to bring us menu.. drinks took another 15 mins we ordered and waited another 60 mins and no food.. by that time we are in the restaurant for 1 1/2 hrs.. and just one other table was occupied.. the kitchen keeps filling take out order and the waitress would not acknowledge my question.. we end up leaving.. I give it 1 star because I have to .. but it's a no star restaurant read more

Lucky they even get one star. Ordered here from work and ordered the sautéed chicken with rice. When the delivery came i got fried chicken and french fries. I called thinking they would have apologized and sent me what i ordered but no. They said I have to pay for both. I will never order from them again. Currently ripping up menu. To bad i would have been a great customer. We order a lot at my job. read more

Went here for take out today- girl on the phone said 20 minutes. 50 minutes later we got our food. Got home to raw French fries and raw yuca frita. Missing sweet plantains. Rice was gross and inedible. Called the restaurant and said the owner would call back but never did... not to mention the creeps at the bar who bother you while you wait for food read more

Everything I've ordered here has been delicious. I especially like the pupusas and the grilled shrimp. The margaritas are great! The owner is really nice and enjoys chatting with his customers, making everyone feel welcome in his establishment. Don't forget to save room tor the flan!! It's the best! read more

One of my favorite local spots. Food is always good and fresh, the owner and staff are nice. I always either order out or dine in. There is music on Friday and Saturday nights. Overall I really like la perla and recommend it. :) read more

I probably ordered the wrong food. Rice was dried and I was looking forward to a salad and i didn't see a salad. Overall the value wasn't there. Just lost the money. The gentleman wasn't helpful either trying to help you order something good he was rushy. I'm still hungry. Couldn't eat it. read more

Food is nasty - ordered Fried fish and it was burned - chicharones with yuca were dried and over cooked and the chicken empanadas tasted as if the chicken was bad. Will never order from there again. Everything went in the garbage. read more

This place has wonderful food. Their refried beans are incredible. I love their steaks. Highly recommend!

Was starving! Stopped to grab a bite. I was served burned beef empanadas fried in old grease with salsa as a sauce and none for my ensalada though I asked twice. The Pollo y Arroz was basic. Nothing special. I live near and won't be back. This foodie was not happy with her first try of El Salvadorian food. Going home to add MY salad dressing to this dry salad. read more

I've tried to give this restaurant many chances. The food is decent but the service is horrible. The first time we ordered pupusas the waitress charged me for a drink that I didn't order. When I asked her she said that was the special with the drink I said but I didn't even get a drink you're charging me more. She gave me an attitude and said she could give me the drink to go. At that point I just took the can and left. The next time we tried to pick up an order. The said 30 min., 40 min later it wasn't ready. When my husband ask how long she said she would find out. Went to the back and came back and completely ignored him. From what I've seen when I have gone to this restaurant you're only chance of good service is if you're a single male at the bar. Please let me know if other Salvadoran restaurants near by as I've had to drive to Freeport for better food and service. read more

Food is 5 stars. Amazingly huge plate of delicious, flavorful, perfectly cooked food for $10.00. If only the servers weren't so cold. Kinda felt like we were inconveniencing them. Didn't check on us once. Didn't smile. Absolutely no personality at all. Took forever to get us the bill. We were really nice to them and they were just bleh but they seemed bleh to all the customers so I didn't take it personally really. It's a shame cause I'm already wanting that food again but I won't go to a neighborhood place that has that kinda service. It makes me uncomfortable and the good times mood we had going in is spoiled. read more

Amazing food and courteous staff. Great for my pupusa "fix". Never had a problem and can't stop coming back! Thank you and keep up the good service! read more

Food was burnt and cold. How do you manage to do that?the costumer service was horrendous we waited 35 minutes for the food to come and what came made me sick. the shrimp was burnt and cold the fries were also cold and my mango drink tasted like fruit and water.They even charged things on my bill that I didn't order.that shit was garbage I was bat an eye.this is the greatest disrespect I've ever faced.Even after eating half the food and giving up they still took another 15 minutes to clean up the table and get us the bill read more

I've been coming here for quite some time and their service has always been pretty consistent. I've always ordered different items from their expansive menu and have always been happy with their dishes. Overall, a great place for dinner, take-out or delivery...I've tried them all! read more
