En la Fonda

La verdad que pedí una lechona y no me gusto para nada. El sabor muy ácido y con limón. Otros amigos pidieron otras cosas y su evaluación de la comida no fue muy positiva. La atención al principio fue buena pero luego el señor que nos atendió empezó improvisadamente a traer cosas que no habíamos pedido o que él ( según sus palabras textuales) pensaba era lo que queríamos. El ambiente especular.

La comida es criolla, muy buena y con buen sazón, un restaurante que rescata lo nuestro como panameños. Buen ambiente y servicio. Las porciones son estilo Gourmet, sin embargo, para sus precios me gustaría fuese las porciones que dan en una fonda real. Aun así lo recomiendo!!

In terms of food we had a bad experience. The restaurant decor an environment is festive although the music was too high. We went on a Sunday for lunch and the place was crowded. The appetizers consisted of torrejitas de maíz, which were very good, a ceviche, which was incredible lemony, and the puerco glaseado, which could have been outstanding if not for the fact the it was all fat and no meat. Main course was macarrones con gallina, which was atrocious, completely inedible and was sent back. The owner came to apologize and gave as an excuse that the chef knew about it, but because of an overbooking the dish was not prepared properly since they had ran out of the ingredients, and my reply to her was that she should have rather not serve that dish to her patrons knowing that it was horrible instead of exposing her restaurant to bad reviews. The next dish was Lechona, the problem here is that I guess they tried to stretched the serving because it was at the most 3 small pieces of meat on the plate. The sancocho was bland and had a funny taste and the fish escabeche was just ok, but the arroz con coco served with the dish tasted too sweet and with no hint of coconut flavor. Unfortunately, a good environment does not sustain a restaurant if the food is barely mediocre. If the owners can improve on their food and plan for an increment of diners, they should be successful.

Excelente servicio, muy original, busca representar lo autóctono de las diferentes regiones de Panamá, es realmente mágico, descubres Panamá en la Fonda...

Me encantaron las Tortillas con Carne Deshilachada, los Patacones con Chicharrón y las Carimañolas. El Ambiente buenísimo para ir con grupo de amigos. La atención muy lenta, y al momento de cobrarnos también.
