(KRON) -- A rare Puerto Rican restaurant in the East Bay is leaving Oakland. La Perla Puerto Rican Cuisine is closing its Oakland restaurant this week and moving elsewhere in the Bay Area, the business announced on social media. The restaurant, located at 3409 Fruitvale Ave., will have its last day on in Oakland Saturday, Nov. 30. "As we prepare to close our doors in Oakland, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the love and support you’ve shown La Perla Puerto Rican Cuisine over the years," La Perla wrote in an Instagram post. "Serving you in this vibrant community has been a true privilege, and we’ll forever cherish the memories and friendships we’ve built here." La Perla is moving about 15 miles south to Castro Valley. Although there has yet to be an opening date announced, the new location will be at the Castro Valley Marketplace on 3295 Castro Valley Blvd. About a month ago, La Perla posted a video of the progress inside the Castro Valley location.

However, the plaza is "hoping by the end of the year," it said on Instagram. When it opened its brick-and-mortar shop in 2021, La Perla was the first and only fully-fledged Puerto Rican restaurant in the East Bay, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. La Perla first opened in 2017, serving its menu out of a convenience store in the same neighborhood as the brick-and-mortar.
