La perla de oriente Reviews
This is legit, Salvadorean food. If you’ve never had pupusas, you are in for a treat. I’ve been telling my wife for a couple of years that I was craving them but you have to drive to Nashville or Atlanta to get them. The food took some time to prepare, but you could tell that these were made from scratch and oh my word they were delicious. Worth the wait and the price per pupusa is unbeatable.
I have lived in Huntsville for more than 10 years and the only option to eat Salvadoran food was either Pelham AL, Nashville or Atlanta. Sometimes you would see people sell them on Facebook market place but it was a hassle. This place is literally a hole in the wall and it was great!! If hispanic construction workers are eating there, that's when you know the food is straight from the source. Yes you have to drive to Athens but it's worth it, especially for me since I'm Salvadoran
