I loved this restaurant not only for the food but more so for the hour of traditional dances. It was so beautiful and captivating I didn't even want to finish my food cause I couldn't look away. Everyone traveling to Panama for a cultural experience should go to this restaurant and make sure to go when a dance is scheduled

Bring an ear plug in case you find the music is too loud!! If you are going to watch the folklore show, make sure to make a reservation. We booked it via Whatsapp (they can chat in English). For a Fri night, the show started at 8pm, we booked 7:30pm so we could get seated and begin ordering/eating prior to the show. It's $8 a person extra to watch the show (so you will be seated in the show room). They messaged us on the day of our reservation to confirm the booking. Food prices are very reasonable, service speed was reasonable too. They have a group ~30 people with reservation and seems like they have pre-set menu items for them, they got seat at 8pm. Almost all tables at the dining room were occupied, so if you do want to watch the show, you definitely want to have a reservation. The show started ~8:15pm and ended ~9:15pm. The music was VERY LOUD! I would suggest to bring ear plugs just in case you need them. They explained the custom in both Spanish and English which was very informative. Overall, we enjoy the food and the show and will recommend anyone visit Panama to check it out!

The day we had the whole restaurant to ourselves! Covid safe, very clean and the restaurant is two streets away from the W hotel panama. The staff always went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied and our cups we're always full. Definitely check it out, a great patamanian experience! By the way they also have authentic dance shows at night but we didn't make it sadly.

Hoping to experience the cultural experience but the full music and dancing is only offered on Friday night. I have attended before and would recommend but we had visitors in town and we’re very disappointed that there wasn’t a show. Hoping to advise all that if you hope to see the show, it’s only available one night. The place was empty without a show. Better luck next time.😩

Great local restaurant with all the Panamanian favorites. The dancers entertained us for almost an hour with some amazing foot work and choreography. This place is definitely worth the visit and a good meal.

We had a fun, colorful evening here! Thoroughly enjoyed the folkloric dance show. The food is tasty and the service is friendly. Reservation necessary. The only thing is, the AC is extremely strong so prepare for that. Shorts and sleeveless garments are not necessarily the best option.

While in Panama City, Panama, you must try this restaurant. I enjoyed the Panamanian decor. Service is great. We ordered mojitos and raved about the fresh ingredients used for the drinks, which made the drink delectable and attractive. Dinner was fresh and hot, and portion sizes were large. So let me tell you about dessert! We ordered the Postre Helado de cafe' y Nueces, we ordered 1, but they brought 2 of them, I'm glad they did because this simple coffee and nut ice cream cake was delicious. All the layers married together made this a special treat after dinner.

We enjoyed our dinner at Tinajas. Service was great. Food and drinks were very good.

Great service, delicious food, really neat decor. Curry pineapple shrimp was very good, so was garlic shrimp. Ceviche was very good and interesting. Chicken and rice was the best that one of our party had ever had. Drinks were really good too, we got the house special and some other cocktails. Staff were very enthusiastic. Sad that we missed the live show, but it is only on Tuesday and Saturday.

We visited Panamá city the month of March and we wanted to have the experience of a local cuisine and we decided on tinaja restaurant, I ordered a red snapper and when it came to my table it was cold and served uncooked the fish was not freshly cooked seems that it was a leftover but not fresh I told the waiter and right away he took the plate and carry it out and a few minutes brought it back to me and I asked is this the same fish and he said yes it was cooked but no flavor or seasoning what a fiasco other than that the show was great but I will not return to this establishment ever again.

Great atmosphere and live cultural show. The food was also amazing really good for families and friends. If you're Panamanian it will make you feel nostalgia of yesteryears.

We stayed at the W Panama and wanted to try and local restaurant, and we were so happy we found this gem. The food is fantastic and the service was great. Such friendly people who were very welcoming. Definitely recommend to everyone

The food was very good and the service was great. Currently they have a dinner show which we did not stay for that starts at 9 pm. I would have liked to stay to see the show and give a better review however we had other plans for the evening.

Amazing dancers

Iff you are visiting Panama put this on your list of dinner places when they have a show. You have to make a resevation to get in but is a great diner and traditional dace and song show. Food is very good as well so overall a great way to spend an evening in this part of Panama city

The empanadas and salmon in butter sauce was delicious. Really pretty restaurant. Staff was great. Wonderful experience!

Good service and well-trained staffs was impressive. The food was also tasty and worth to try it. We ordered Sancocho(Chicken soup), Seafood rice, and Pulpo Salad(Octopus salad). Seafood rice was unexpected but super nice, so I cleaned it up. Salad was a little sour, and Sancocho was under expectation. There's a performance show on specific date with a fee(more or less 10 USD/pax as my guess).

Great place to get an immersion into panamanian cuisine and forklore. The food was fantastic, drinks were great and the show was amazing. I had the yuca pie, it was like a chicken pot pie, but the cruat was made of yuca and the filling was similar to a panamenian tamal. The mojito panameño drink was good, but in my opinion had too many mint leaves. The folkloric dance was a great representation of the tipical dance and dresses/costumes of the common field worker. This is must experience if you find yourself in the Republic of Panama.

I am Panamanian, and the food tasted just like my grandma makes it. Incredible! We came with my foreign partner and she fell in love with the show. Amazing performance! Sincerely, best traditional Panamanian place in the city.

I had the corvina and shrimp with rice and peas and the bacalao fritters. The fish was bland, the shrimp (2 pieces) was mediocre and the rice and peas had no flavor. The bacalao fritters we’re just fried mush balls. No real bacalao flavor. Overall this place was not worth it. Sadly, I do not recommend.

Colonial style restaurant that features a fine dining experience. Staff is friendly and helpful when asking questions about the menu and Panama. The food was extremely delicious! The bathrooms are clean and spacious. Totally recommend!!

Had a great time here. The food was delicious and the manager was very nice. Great local food. They also have local dance shows several nights of the week. This place was the best local food that I’ve had in Panama.

This is a beautiful little place oh My, words fail me. The service was so good. All i can say, if you're able to, please check it out. Beautiful for couples. Took a walk around the city.

Nice little restaurant, great service and food!

This is a quaint restaurant offers superb spanish style seafood amongst other dishes. We had the fish and prawns which was full of flavor. The decor is old but authentic and the owners are very nice people.

Based on the reviews, I decided to come here on a Tuesday at around 8pm and was able to enjoy the amazing show!! It was so great to be able to catch a glimpse into the Panamanian culture, while enjoying the most authentic dishes. I ordered the sancocho and arroz con pollo and wasn't disappointed in the slightest. I'm the type of person that likes to put hot sauce on everything, and today is the first time I didn't want to. I definitely recommend coming to dinner here especially if it's your first time visiting Panama. A MUST visit :)

Las Tinajas was recommended to me twice so I had to check it out, and it didn’t disappoint. It was a bit quiet when my friends and I went, but we enjoyed our food and drinks very much. Wish we could have enjoyed the show.

Very very yummy food! We tried a variety of dishes and everything was soooo good. Ceviche with actual plantains chips was a bomb. Margarita was also very very good. Service was superb, attentive, kind and quick. We are satisfied with everything in this restaurant. 5 stars and we’ll definitely be back.

Food was all local authentic Panamanian cuisine. Lots of good food. Really good seafood.

What a cultural experience! The show really...well stole the show. The food is really good

The atmosphere was folkloric and i enjoyed the food. They had a fish cerviche that was out of this world and the drinks where great. It was my first experience of Panamanian food and I enjoyed every bite. I would highly recommended this place especially for the show. We didn't get to see it. But we heard great things about it.

It was delicious, the restaurant was empty and I believe it’s because the doors are closed and it Lola like a house from the outside.

If you want to experience a slice of Panamanian culture... this is the place. We enjoyed delicious seafood (Corvina prepared by the chef) along with yuca and plantains. You can get a photo wroth the dancers after the show.

Wonderful place to enjoy a meal and a show!

I CANNOT say enough about the quality of this restaurant. The service is unbelievable. They treat each table like royalty. They stop and talk to you like they are truly glad to get to know you. They appreciate you as the consumer. The food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. And the entertainment was awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Food was great and the customer service was great also. Would recommend

Desert was awesome! Food was great as well!

We went because it was one of the best restaurants in the area, we ordered seafood and well-cooked meat, I think the waiter brought medium-cooked meat because he did not understand English well enough, but both the service and the food were sloppy, it was disappointing. The worst thing was that the bill was brought to us before we even finished the meal and without asking for the bill, we felt like we were kicked out! This behavior was outrageous for something that was not our fault.

Excellent Panamanian experience with delicious corvina and appetizers.

This is an attractive place that is easy to find. The service was pleasant the food was not. I ordered a snack of Empanadas and a beer. The Empanadas were fried and had no meat or flavor.........No where in the menu did it say they fried it. So gross. I was just going to eat it but the server was kind enough to take it back and not charge me. I then ordered calamari knowing this was fried and it was a microscopic portion with no squid and all batter. Again awful...,,,,,,,, I ate it because I did not want to complain again. Unsure what the hype is about this place. I would rather have good food than a pretty surrounding. Oh and 4.50 for a 60 cent beer. Pluleeese!

(Translated by Google) If you want some local food, here is the place. The manager and cooks are very friendly. It shows that the food is well done and fresh.

A nice seafood restaurant in Panama.

I spent my few days in Panama looking for truly authentic Panamanian cuisine. We finally found it here. The food was great, and the atmosphere was nice. A good taste of Panama.

It was hard to find a restaurant that gave is the local flavour.... But this place did. Here I really felt like I was in Panama with the locals. Food was lovely ! Recommend this place when in the city !

Enjoy the dance!

I'm all for learning and living. Learning about other cultures and experiencing them for myself. My visit to Las Tinajus was truly s memorable one. I enjoyed the native dances, the food at the restaurant and the amazing service of the staff. Please add it to your list when planning your trip to Panama. You won't regret it.

Dinner was served quickly and was very tasty. The floor show was culturally interesting and informative. The prices were also very good.

I LOVE this restaurant and this experience. A classic taste of Panama dance, song, and dress - it was a fantastic evening. I strongly recommend - if you visit Panama City, you must have dinner here!

We had a great time. I recommend the ceviche de corvina. It was fresh and delicious. Show was a nice treat during our meal. Narrations were given in English & Spanish which I found to be very considerate. All around wonderful place. As a side note - I would not recommend the Tinajas Burger. Everything else was delicious.

Something for everyone; a touch of Panamanian cuisine without having to go all in. Pleasant waiters that let you enjoy your food in peace. Menu also in english++ Dessert menu could use an update and more focus on local specialties but we left happy and tipsy from a couple of dirty mojitos.

Great place to take family or colleagues who are visiting Panama and want to experience some of the local dance and song traditions. Its great for larger groups, and decent sized stage for a 30+ minute performance. You can also just dine in the restaurant if you don't want to watch the show. The food was okay, but well worth it to go and experience.

Steve says "this was a Very poor experience - ordered the 'house' burger special. The burger itself was hard and barely warm and the bun was something I have never experienced. Some form of cold, hard fried flatbread. The chef should go back to cookery school." On the other hand the sopa de mariscos was ok
