Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wahaka is a hidden gem. Gourmet mexican food at its best with awesome service. Carlos Meza our server along with the food made us feel like we were falling in love again in our beloved Cacun. In a city were dinning out has become so expensive Wahaka offers michelin star food at food truck prices. Thank you for another great experience

Had the oportunity to visit the place last night and had a great experience. We were greeted by Carlos Gonzales who took care of us through the night, he explained to us the story behind the name Wahaka (very interesting, worth asking for it on your next visit) and recommended us some dishes. The food was good and the atmosphere was good as well but the service was outstanding.

Wahaka was so delicious. The carnitas tacos were perfect! The churros were so soft and I highly recommend the dolce de leche!! Our Spanish was terrible so we accidentally ordered 2 desserts, but it was 100% worth it. RaĂşl was always close by to help us and was so patient with our lack of Spanish skills. I would go again and again and again!

Next time when the restaurant is totally empty at 7pm, try to be sensible and flexible and don’t seat people at the bar. They said it was a full house and yet when we left at 8.15, the restaurant was still 80% empty. Just think about how you treat customers. Food was quite good, drinks menu just ok. However, after tonite , we will not go back. Too pretentious unfortunately

We randomly chose this restaurant from Google since it was within walking distance of our hotel, and WOW……what a find!!!! Our server Elvis was engaging and attentive, and happy to make suggestions. The menu is elevated Mexican fare with some interesting twists and it was really difficult to narrow down the options. We ordered a roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer which was unexpected and oh so yummy, and for the entree the birria. A beautifully presented crispy tortilla stuffed with shredded beef and cheese, and a table side pour-over of “magic sauce.” Goodness gracious it was delicious!! I ate every bite and asked Elvis for the recipe! The vibe is casual and food, the drinks for fresh and delicious, and the DJ is unobtrusive. This definitely needs to be a stop on everyone’s list when visiting Panama City!!!

Great place for a casual lunch with friends. The plates are all perfect for sharing and we particularly enjoyed the Wahaka Tostada. The concept of combining Mexican and Japanese cuisines is interesting and well executed here. Definitely a place to try if you’re in Panamá.

Rolando was an excellent waiter. He made great recommendations and attentive service. The cocktails were great! And the complimentary chips were amazing. We went for 2 for 1 tacos and they were all tasty, especially the fish and the shrimp taco. A bit pricy if they weren't 2 for 1.

We came here for dinner after a long day of watching the Panama Canal ships. It was highly rated on trip advisor so figured “why not!” Excellent ambience and experience. Wait staff was exceptional. We had Elvis, and he made the entire experience really special. Out of the 4 dinners we had in Panama City this was our favorite- and best for the value (same meal in casa Viajo is double the cost) -helpful hint: tacos come in 2’s- if dining as a couple, order and mix and match together.

I just had a wonderful lunch here on a first date. The food was as good as the company! Wasaka is a fusion restaurant, Mexican and Japanese. Our waiter, Rolando, suggested that we order different plates of tacos, sort of like tapas. After I asked for his recommendations he explained his favorite choices. Ohmigosh! He nailed it! Each plate we tried was perfect. And we tried alot! In the end our lunch cost $33 with drinks. Plus Rolando's tip, which was large. Because he made my date really happy!

Located near the Multi Plaza Mall, this cosmopolitan restaurant is a fusion of Mexican with a twist of sushi rolls. The menu is extensive and innovative, giving a modern spin on traditional Mexican dishes. Our server spoke English and was attentive to our needs. Our food arrived promptly and everything we tried was very good. Save room for the churros…sooo good. Overall we had a wonderful experience here and I would highly recommend Wahaka.

Probably the best lunch I had during my trip to Panama city. The margarita tasted like it should, the guacamole was amazing, the chicken tacos with molle was delicious and the pork ribs with chipotle sauce were to die for. Oh and did I mention the wide choice of mezcals? And thanks Jose for the great service!

Friendly service and delicious foods. Great for a casual lunch with friends. Portions are perfect for sharing and you’re able to try many of the items on the menu without running up a huge bill.

We had several dishes so that we could share and experience multiple foods. Some dishes included tacos entraña, tortilla soup, machete (baby back ribs) and a kid’s chicken finger. Each dish was well-seasoned and we finished off with churros and chocolate de olla. Did I mention the spicy margaritas?! Yummy!!

A deserved #1 in Panama City. We just stopped ordering because we are super full! I just recommend not ordering too many cheese item from the menu. The raw fish courses (like tuna tartare) are 10/10. Sushi are on a high level as well. From the tacos I recommend going with the one with pina (pineapple) ones. These really topped the other ones. Our waitress (Elvis) was very friendly and helped us picking and translating. Definitely visit this restaurant when you are around!

The restaurant has a great ambience. The food is excellent and the menu also includes an Asian fusion. We only had Latin dishes and each was prepared to perfection. The food was very tasty, fresh and clean. If you go there don’t order mixed drinks, they are all watered down. Perhaps a glass of wine is a better choice. The service was excellent. Definitely recommend this restaurant!
