Everything about my experience was amazing. This is the spot to try amazing traditional food and watch traditional dances to live music. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. I will definitely be coming again and would recommend it to anyone!

This was our second time - we celebrated my wife’s birthday, 8 people in total.

We ordered individually which they handled very well, and the food is just amazing. Very high level in all aspects.

We were superbly served by Elias and Claudio, they made it a memorable night.

Live music and a great vibe was the final touch to a great evening. We can’t wait to come back!

This place is absolutely enchanting and delicious. The food was on point, the service was above and beyond and the ambiance was truly a celebration of the country and its folklore. Totally recommend! Don’t miss this experience when in Panama.
