    If you look for real Mexican food, look somewhere else, however, their margaritas are spectacular

    It's been some time since I have been able to eat at this restaurant, but wow the burrito I get is to die for. This is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in Panama, and the prices are reasonable. I look forward to eating here again in the future.

    The service was very slow considering that when we arrived there was only a table of 2 and another with 4. After we sat and waited 7 or 8 minutes, another table of 2 came in and got served right away. Go figure 🤔 the food was average and the service was below average, but the Margarita was quite good.

    I had the nachos. They tasted okay but a bit pricey for what they are. My wife got especial Mexicano. Basically 3 different tacos/wraps but they are all the same. All they had on them was the toughest pork ever. It was not a very nice dish at all. It looked boring and it most definitely tasted boring. When we asked for sauce, we got told they have none. We had to ask for water 4 times before we actually got any and all the meals took around an hour to arrive. Restaurant was not busy at all. Really really disappointing and will never be going back xk

    Such a lack of flavor. Its quit a bit expensive for the little portion and the lack of flavor. Tacos al pastor. The tortilla seems old, the frijoles too. The wacamole could be one of the worst wacamoles of all the mexican restaurants. Wont ever come back here.

    Went for chicken quesadillas and what was brought to me was chicken tacos in corn wrapper rather than white flour. I complained and was told that they have two choices but I was not offered a choice! The hot sauce for the chips, which were extremely hard, was extremely hot and the pico de Gallo was awful. I am never going back for sure.

    Amazing food and great friendly staff. Queso fundido, guacamole and nachos are superb starters. Enchiladas Suizas, and the Burrito Charro are our go to main courses. Great horchata, cheladas and margaritas.

    After several trips to the restaurant ordering only beef fajitas I decided to try their other offerings. What a mistake, the plate that I ordered was the Mexican special which has a little bit of everything the restaurant offers the problem is everything was the same except presented differently. Hard dry pork with no flavor. The only salsa the restaurant offers is pico de gallo and chumbo of course we all know chumbo is not Mexican salsa. After living many years in Mexico it is common knowledge that when you order tacos or other Mexican plates you are presented with four to five different sauces for the food. Service was extremely slow and when we asked the waitress about the the ownership of the restaurant and the food quality she advised us that the owner vacations frequently in Mexico. With this statement it was well understood that the owner is not Mexican and has no clue what Mexican food flavors and textures are like.

    So far the best Mexican restaurant in Panamá City. Authentic indeed! The margaritas were excelente and the FLAN……OMG the best we’ve had EVER! So creamy…..almost sinful 💕

    The worst experience I’ve have ever had in a restaurant. The service was beyond bad. Reservations were made for for 1:30pm for 4 persons. After being seated we were not attended for approximately 15 minutes after which time we ordered drinks. After 20 minutes one of the four drink were brought to the table. After ten minutes I personally got up from our table to ask after about the three remaining drink orders. One more drink arrived (which was a bottle of beer) two drinks still pending. Finally after a total of approximately 45 minutes after the initial order request the remaining 2 drinks arrived. We then ordered our dinners. 45 minutes later two of the four orders came to the table. Ten minutes later the third. My companions finished their meals while I was still waiting for mine. I got up once again and asked to see the manager she went to the kitchen to see what was the problem. My order was never received. It’s now past 3:30 and no meal for me I’ve had enough I asked for the bill and we left. Like I stated from the beginning the worst experience ever. As for the food my companions were split in one not very good and the other 2 just ok. You get a complimentary tiny bowl of about 5 chips and I guess a tiny bowl of what I think was pico de gallo. I most definitely do not recommend Charro Mexicano that’s located in San Francisco.

    Pretty good place but man oh man is it expensive and the service can be slow. Not sure if it's good enough to justify the price, but my wife and I did enjoy it overall. Great decorations

    I really like this place! The decor is all colours giving it the quintessential Mexican feel and the menu is delicious. Big old stuffed burritos, piled plates of Nachos and good sides like huge bowls of guacamole and cheese fondo. Mains are mostly around $12-15.
