La perla de Oriente Restaurant

Filipino and Asian restaurant serving traditional homestyle dishes, rice plates, and comfort food staples at neighborhood prices.

La Perla de Oriente brings Salvadoran and other Latin American favorites to Mission Street in Daly City. Pork-and-cheese pupusas offer an inviting starting point, while carne asada and roast chicken provide larger plate options. We like the way the menu accommodates both a small order of filled pupusas and a more substantial meal with rice and beans. Beef stew adds another comforting choice, served with rice and salad. The drink selection includes horchata and fruit flavors such as tamarind, passion fruit, pineapple, and cantaloupe, giving a savory meal several refreshing companions. The appeal is a neighborhood restaurant with familiar, home-style dishes and a Salvadoran presence, suited to diners who want to explore pupusas or settle into a straightforward chicken or beef dinner.
