    At first I was hesitant when I saw the photos I wasn’t sure about it. I can confidently say that after going, I couldn’t be happier. Incredible food, kind and warm service. Lily was so nice and took care of us like it was at home. The leche de tigre sauce is amazing!! I am really pleasantly surprised. Would definitely recommend!

    I was at the restaurant at 9:20pm Friday, and they told me it was closed. The website says it closes at 11pm. All I wanted was to go grab a drink at the bar area, but the hostess very rudely told us that they were closed! I don’t understand how if the website says it closes at 11pm. Please update your hours so people’s don’t waste their time getting there for this type of service!

    They used to be really good, quality food didn’t mind paying a bit more, sadly we ordered today, and food besides of expensive it was the worst! Order a : corvina a lo macho Salteado de mariscos Corvina tasted like dirt really but really bad everything on it was wrong, rice tasted as it was kept for days on the fridge and salteado barely had sea food n pretty small looked like an appetizer Both 19 bucks each Total of 40.66 Really sad how much this place have changed for the worse

    My absolute favourite place for calamari🥰 I’ve come here every trip I come to visit family and the flavour remains as tasty every time! Even the seafood platter with yuca my family had was delicious and the perfect level of crunchiness.

    Great food, the ceviche is amazing, they have real Inca Kolas. My favorite peruvian restaurant in Panamá. My recommendation would be ceviche and arróz chaufa, the size of the arróz chaufa is for 2 or 3 people.

  • 2/5 Fabrice C. 6 years ago on Google
    Very average food. I had the chicken pieces with onions, tomatoes and fries in a brown Chinese sauce. Food has no tastes except for the very salty brown sauce. Nothing to talk about will just fill your belly until you need to find a restroom. Service was minimal as well.

    (Translated by Google) The truth was of my favorite places, but today I was disappointed from the main course to the dessert, a meat that tasted nothing ... I thought about rescuing my lunch with dessert and it was worse ... it tasted like flour .. Lemon had nothing and that cloying merengue on top ... (Original) La verdad era de mis sitios favoritos, pero hoy me decepcionó desde el plato fuerte hasta al postre, una carne q no sabía a nada... pensé en rescatar mi almuerzo con el postre y me fue peor... sabia a harina... de limon no tenia nada y ese merengue de encima empalagoso...
