So far so good! Had the garlic butter fish fillet with slaw. Cozy place and there's even some tables down on the boardwalk. The bartender had some very cool beats playing in the background. Nothing loud just nice rhythm. Reminded me of that old group "everything but the girl"

Calaloo is an awesome place to chill, grab a bite and a drink. I highly recommend their fish and chips, the portion is generous and delish. Their cocktails are really good and the ambience is great for friends and families.

Fish and chips were great! And we loved the piña coladas. Finished it off with brownie and ice cream

The best fish and chips ever. Vicky is the best and she also make us the best pineapple smoothie. Thank you Vicky for all your hospitality..... highly recommended

Best service and food around!! Our host was awesome and really catered to all types of preferences! I would highly recommend the fish tacos, fresh fish and vegetarian options! Thanks you for everything Vicki at Calaloo!!

By far the best host this island has to offer. You need to come here and meet Cynthia if you're here! Great food and amazing worldly offerings in alcohol

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and the food is sensational (Original) Excelente atención y la comida es sensacional

So nice place the owner so friendly and warm welcome me everything she she suggested to try was perfect!!

(Translated by Google) Good place to eat just 2 minutes from the pier. They have Wifi for the clients. They accept Visa and Mastercard, something not so common in the Island of Taboga. The prices are not cheap but the food is EXCELLENT. Very good taste and deliver the food in a few minutes. A prawns with garlic (6 prawns) with patacones, a few chicken fingers with French fries, 3 lemonades and 1 canned cola came out with taxes of $ 42.00. The place is outdoors (without air conditioning) like all the other places in Taboga. The attention was good. (Original) Buen lugar para comer a sólo 2 minutos del muelle. Tienen Wifi para los clientes. Aceptan Visa y Mastercard, algo no tan común en la Isla de Taboga. Los precios no son baratos pero la comida es EXCELENTE. Muy buen sabor y entregan la comida en pocos minutos. Unos langostinos al ajillo (6 langostinos) con patacones, unos deditos de pollo con papas fritas, 3 limonadas y 1 coca cola de lata salieron con impuestos 42.00 dólares. El lugar es al aire libre (sin aire acondicionado) como todos los demás sitios en Taboga. La atencion fue buena.

Awesome food!

Went to Taboga on a whim while walking around the causeway and it is a great little getaway for the day! We were greeted by Vicky right when we got off the boat and she had a big smile inviting us to Calaloo with a drink coupon. We wanted to get to the top of the island for the view and she quickly hooked us up with a local I believe his name was JR. After heading to the top and checking out the view we stopped in to Calaloo for a quick lunch. The food was fresh, the view lovely and Vicky popped in with owner and we had a real hoot!! We wanted to hang out and have MANY drinks but a nasty storm popped up. We dashed out left with a great memory! Ceviche on point, Fish excellent..has to be, the friggin fisherman launch their boat right in front of the joint. Get a pineapple duro if you see duros advertised a few doors down for dessert!! Vicky come get your hair did in WPB, FL!!

(Translated by Google) Good Ocean View, good place for breakfast, lunch, have a drink (Original) Buena Vista Al mar, buen lugar para desayunar, almorzar tomar algo

The best restaurant in the island, I will definitely come back, good service, delicious food 😊

(Translated by Google) It has vegetarian options 😲 I did not expect it 💚 excellent service, great seasoning, super recommended if you visit Isla Taboga (Original) Tiene opciones vegetarianas 😲 no me lo esperaba 💚 excelente servicio, estupenda sazón, súper recomendado si vas de visita a Isla Taboga

Owner (Vicky) served us fresh fried fish (snapper) and shrimp. Small quaint eatery was clean and food was plentiful. Walls had great historical references, timeline and images.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to eat and have delicious cocktails 😋 (Original) Excelente lugar para comer y tomar cócteles deliciosos 😋

(Translated by Google) I loved the food, very good service, very nice place. (Original) Me encantó la comida, muy bueno el servicio, muy bonito el lugar.

I loved it. Please go

Our experience in the restaurant was exceptional, good music, family atmosphere and great service. We ordered fish and chips, the mama bbq , shrimps, an order of fish fillet, sangria and homemade brownie, everything was excellent. We’ll be back, I recommend it 100%

Great spot with a beautiful view of the water. The hummus and fish tacos were great. Make sure you call ahead of time to make a reservation. Pints were ice cold 👌👌

We were welcomed by the owner Guido and had a very interesting chat while browsing the menu - we also received some nice suggestions about what to order. We had Ceviche, the fish burger and the king prawn platter - everything was delicious and well presented. We enjoyed the view over the sea and although the tables were next to the road it is still very nice. Also, enjoyed the music selection that we could hear in background. I would recommend this place, a little off the main area of the island. 5 stars well deserved. Thank you Guido and hope to comeback soon to try different dishes.

We didn’t have a great experience but the owner seems caring and like they run a good place, “Off-days” happens at even the best restaurants, so we’ll definitely try the place again when we come back. The feedback and consensus on the island from locals is that Calaloo is “the place”. My Original review is below: Food was caloric that’s about it. I wouldn’t describe it as good, fish tacos were overly sweet, while the tortillas got soggy very quickly, the fries were bizarrely crispy while also unpleasantly soft. The pizza looked like something from a lean cuisine. As to why we didn’t send our food back as we sat near the beach, which made getting our waiters attention awkward, combined with our desired choices of ragout and ceviche being “out”, we just made the best of it.

Service was great, view was amazing, and the food was the best! Fresh seafood straight out of the ocean. If you come to Tobago, make sure this restaurant is on the your list on things to do! Thank you Calaloo!

Chill atmosphere, good food. Good people watching. Nice spot to plunge in clear water before or after a nice lunch! To the left of the pier when you arrive. About 200 feet down.

Very nice lunch, good drinks, nice staff, owner was nice and told us a little about himself and the island. Thanks!

Food & service was great. We got into Taboga and spent a lot of time at this restaurant for its view of the beach, wonderful food & helpful staff. I would highly recommend the fish tacos and patacones, both were great. My husband had the fish fillet and loved it. Drink wise we would recommend the taboga loca if you want a cocktail, though you could never go wrong with an ice cold Panamá beer. It’s worth noting that one of the proprietors, Vicky, is fluent in both English and Spanish & very hospitable.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place, very good customer service, super delicious food, first time I went, but from now on every time I go to Taboga I will go to this place, full recommended. (Original) Excelente lugar, muy buen trato al cliente, la comida super deliciosa, primera vez que fui, pero de ahora en adelante cada vez que vaya a Taboga iré a este lugar, full recomendado.

The fish & chips were great!! The brownie was even better... very rich! Very nice owner from Canada. Very fun and recommended a local snorkel spot.

The Calaloo is a great place to eat. It is located on the main road if you turn left from the dock. Walk a bit past the police station and you will see it on your right. The decor is beach-inspired and the food is fresh and delicious. (I particularly love the brownie sundae). Portion-sizes are perfect. Cynthia, the owner is great. She always takes time to talk to her guests and makes sure everything is to our liking. This is a great place to eat during your stay on Taboga.

We wandered in starving-the locals recommended we come here. We are so happy we did! We were well welcomed and the food was amazing! We had the creole fish, ceviche, and fish tacos. We ate it all!! So delicious and so much food!! The service here is also the best. Highly highly recommend.

Great owner/manager+ great food. This place was so good during lunch that we came back for dessert later. The pineapple crisp was unique and very tasty.

Quite a gem: best patacones I had in Panama and the whole fish was spiced superbly. Nice little view of the coast through the open windows

Great local joint with really tasty fish tacos and good drinks

Excellent and english speaking!! Canadien owner!!

Gluten free options are available and menus are both English and Spanish. The service was fantastic, she spoke fluent in English and Spanish and made sure we were very happy. They also have great Panamanian coffee here!! And a bar for drinking and sparkling water. They also have really cool historic decor doing the walls!

Fabulous restaurant on the island, we ate there xmas eve and it was busy but the food kept on coming out and what we had was excellent, worth the wait. The owner kindly added to the ambience greeting the guests and his Coconut Martini is a gem. I had the fish fillet in creole sauce, absolutely fab! Thanks for adding to a special evening in Isla Taboga with great food and care. We will be back!

Ceviche is not the best dish here. Look for other options. Cheese cake was really good. The drinks are all right. Could be attributed to fact that we were here during covid.

We stopped by the island on a Monday on our way back from the Perlas. Not much was open so we opted to have dinner at a table by the beach. They were out of a number of things but thats been the case every where. It took 45 minutes to get our food. I had to go inside to get the rest of my dinner and found them focused on take-away orders. No one enjoyed their dinners. The cooking oil was rancid. And lastly, due to the long wait, we were bitten many times by insects. At least no one got food poisoning. We travel a lot internationally and this was one of our worst dining experiences. Even the whole fish was not good.

Hitto, mi amigo. Loved spending time with you and I look forward to the next time (one year) we return. The food is great and I know you’ll get your crew as well educated about the kitchen as an ANA crew prepping for arrival into Narita. Be well and stay in touch.

(Translated by Google) The place is in front of the beach and offers a very cool space to eat and hang out. Prices are fair in proportion to service and food. Highly recommended! (Original) El lugar está frente a la playa y ofrece un espacio muy fresco para comer y pasar el rato. Los precios son justos en proporción al servicio y la comida. Muy recomendado!

In Taboga today and wanted lunch before the beach. Google recommended Calaloo and I am glad it did. Staff was very welcoming as I walked by, and I was greeted nicely by Hiddo as the waitress showed me to a seat. The Ceviche was fresh and the chips were warm and flavorful - best I've had ANYWHERE. The fried snapper was cooked to perfection and very flavorful. I wish I could try more things, but it was a quick trip to the island. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The location is nice, right at Honda beach. I had fish & chips. Fish was good also the chips. But the chips were too less. And the Sauce tartar was a convenience product, like a MC Donald’s sauce. Another bad thing are the prices of the drinks. National beer costs $3 and a small glass of wine $8. This is usury. In my opinion it’s a tourist trap.

Service was a bit slow and we were the only ones there. Juice portions were disappointingly small. The Hawaiian pizza was pretty good. Prices were a bit high, but this is on a somewhat remote island, so they seemed reasonable.

This is my third time eating at Calaloo and they never disappoint, the Ragout and Ceviche are delicious. Their flagship drinks taste incredible and it's a no miss! Also Katherine the waitress is a charm!

Wasn’t sure what to expect on Taboga because it’s small and out of the way, but we arrived on the Red Cat and wandered around a few minutes before stopping in. The food was really good, nice view of the water from our little table, and Benny was such a friendly host. Talked to him for a bit and really enjoyed meeting him. Fish tacos were tasty, ceviche was nice, and lobster was really good! I’ll probably never make it back to Taboga, so I’m glad we ate at Calaloo!

Great experience with a great conversation and an excellent service

Wow had the best shrimp lunch ever! My husband and I needed a snack and shared the Langostinos (huge shrimp or prawns) dripping in tons of garlic and oil. The papas fritas (French fries) were also perfect, especially when dipping through the garlic / oil. We sat upstairs relaxing with their fun music and a cold beer overlooking the bay view. We arrived via Red Kat Catamaran for the day…. Will come back to Taboga Island again and order more shrimp!

This place was okay. I love ceviche and ordered it because the workers said it was the special here. I ordered it and was pretty disappointed. It was the hardest ceviche I have ever had. The flavor was fine but it wasn’t what I had had in mind. I also ordered samosas with chicken that were pretty tasteless. It must have been good for being food on a remote island but I’d probably try a different place next time.

We had our own private beach and had the most incredible lunch! I highly recommend the fish tacos!!! We were treated like celebrities to be honest. An absolute must while in Taboga Island!!!

We had an excellent and relaxing lunch here. The food is mainly Caribbean, very well prepared and presented. The view is s lovely bonus.

The ceviche was delicious and fresh as was the fish and patacones, the water and other drinks were cold. The restaurant is small and has a rustic atmosphere.

Great food, great view, friedly owner! Everything fresh, everything tasty. The fish burger hit the spot! And possibly the best Pina Colada I've had in Panama.

My partner and I ate here every day we were on the island. Sometimes twice a day. But not every meal I assure you. Try the hummus plate as an appetizer...to die for. Met the owner, he sat and chatted while we ate lunch and made us feel incredibly welcome. Such a laid back and easygoing place to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Wonderful service, great coffee, great food. 10/10, no question.

What an absolutely charming place with great food. The fish always super fresh (both ceviche and fish & chips).

Not bad, not bad...

(Translated by Google) Loved the place. The food is simple but good. The staff and the hostess are good. In the very center. Prices are not high (Original) Очень понравилось место. Еда простая ,но хорошая. Персонал и хозяйка хорошие. В самом центре . Цены не высокие

I love the food here. We had fish and chips, fish tacos. Everything was excellent.

(Translated by Google) Good oceanfront atmosphere and tasty food (Original) Buen ambiente frente al mar y comida sabrosa

👌

Really bad. Tiny portions for 14 bucks. If you are hungry and plan to eat here be prepared to spend a fortune in food that doesn't worth it. Won't ever come back.

Great location to relax and get to know the local residents of Panama . We enjoyed the service, ambience, the food and relaxed atmosphere. We will certainly be back

Nice place, good food, attentive service

Delicious food and cool space

(Translated by Google) Tasty! (Original) ¡Sabroso!

Enjoyed very much the patacones plantain with peanut sauce. Delicious fish and cold beers. Don t leave without trying the brownies Seating indoors or at sidewalk by the beach. Ask for a discount when staying at nearby Cerrito Tropical Lodge. Customers are allowed to use restrooms as changing rooms when going to the beach

Great grilled fish, fresh from the day. Warm welcome from the boss and the team. The plus : they have a book relating the history of Taboga island, with drawings and pictures from the past. Also, good music : reggae, South American rock

Researched restaurants prior to arriving on island....this was the best rated and it DID NOT disappoint! We had 2 appetizers and split a main dish....Sea Bass with slaw and plantains. OMG!!! AWESOMENESS. Staff was GREAT....Owner was personable and friendly. Enjoyed talking to him.

A beautiful view. Good service

(Translated by Google) Excellent attention, good food and a spectacular view! (Original) Excelente atención, buena comida y una vista espectacular!

Such an incredible beachfront place. The owner Hiddo was so nice. He accommodated everything we wanted, even running to get pizza ingredients for the kids who really wanted a pizza. Lol. You should make it a stop.

We chose the outdoor seating area over looking the beach. Delicious seafood dishes with outstanding sauces.

(Translated by Google) Good service, good food! (Original) Buen servicio, good food!

Simple and efficient restaurant with nice location on the sea side near the beach.

(Translated by Google) My visit was in February 2020. Cozy atmosphere and a beautiful view from the first stop. It's something little ; but it has a couple of tables at the bottom. Regarding food, we eat fish frequently. The one in this place was not much to our liking. It wasn't bad; but the taste is so-so. Regardless, we liked the atmosphere and the view from the restaurant. (Original) Mi visita fue en febrero de 2020. Ambiente acogedor y una bella vista desde el primer alto. Es algo pequeño ; pero tiene un par de mesas en la parte de abajo . Referente a la comida , comemos pescado frecuentemente. El de este local no fue mucho de nuestro agrado. No estaba malo ; pero el sabor es regular . A pesar de todo , nos gustó el ambiente y la vista desde el restaurante.
