Castro Valley Marketplace proudly welcomes La Perla, the Bay Area’s celebrated Puerto Rican restaurant, for its grand opening celebration on Valentine’s Day, February 14th at noon. Located on the mezzanine level, La Perla brings its renowned cuisine to the heart of Castro Valley.

As the Bay Area’s premier destination for authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, La Perla has earned a devoted following for its traditional specialties like mofongo and pasteles. Chef-owner José Ortiz, a pillar of the community with three decades of leadership and mentorship experience, brings not only his acclaimed culinary expertise but also his passionate dedication to Puerto Rican cultural traditions.

The grand opening festivities will span the entire weekend, featuring:

• Special guest appearances

The restaurant’s intimate dining space comes alive with the sounds of salsa legends, creating an immersive Puerto Rican dining experience.
