This is not a traditional restaurant; the family that owns it is genuine, treats you like family, and legitimately cares about your experience. Do not go without some time to sit because everything is made to order and freshly prepared. With minimal staff, they do an especially good job caring for the people that walk in the door. The food was AMAZING and they were super patient with our questions about various dishes and what they were. What we got was very reasonably priced and worth every penny. The cuban coffee at the end of the meal was a perfect finish to our already amazing meal. Their youngest son entertained my toddler in the most caring way and included him in all the games they were playing. Will be returning many times in the future.

Newly opened restaurant serving dishes from several Latin countries. Very nice family that takes their time making great food, so don't eat here if you're in a rush.

Absolutely LOVE this place! It is family owned and operated and they could not be any more warm or welcoming when you walk through the door! The food is absolutely amazing! The portions are huge and the prices are great. So far I’ve had the pleasure of trying the Cerdo Frito (Nicaraguan Pork) and the Street Taco (Pork with a freshly made corn tortilla). Believe me when I tell you that there isn’t another restaurant around with such a diverse menu. From Columbian to Nicaraguan to Dominican Republic to Brazil, and that’s only naming a few! Do yourself a favor and try it today. You’ll thank me later ;) Thank you Jose and family for bringing such a great restaurant to town!

This was the first time that my husband and I have eaten here. We ordered a Cuban sandwich and it was so big that we had to share it, and as for the taste, it was awesome! The experience was also awesome, the owner waited on us and he made us feel like we were family. Thank you, we'll be back soon.

This place has awesome food! If you want authentic Jamaican cuisine, this is it. They have great portions and packed flavor for a great price! It is not a place for sit down, but it does have a table and some chairs with an umbrella outside and a couple chairs inside. There’s Jamaican food products on the walls for purchase and several Latin America drinks. We went in and the cashier greeted us and asked if it was our first time, it was, and went on to explain that all the dishes they had listed on their menu comes with rice and beans, fried plantain slices, sliced tomatoes, and stewed cabbage along with whatever meat your ordered. I ordered their jerk chicken, and my boyfriend ordered the curry chicken. They both were fantastic! The tomatoes go great with the stewed cabbage and the fried plantains were sweet and savory! The jerk chicken was a sweet spicy delight, and the curry was a slow burning kind of spice. They also offer homemade drinks: ginger beer, carrot juice, beet juice, and lemonade; I had lemonade and it was delicious and fresh tasting. My boyfriend had some of the cold canned coconut juice, which was delicious and had coconut pulp. Food was done fast, and the service was kind and helpful, the price of all our food and drinks with tax was 22.95. That is some amazing value!

Four of us went to dinner this past Monday and all of us liked our food . I had the "dirty rice" ( Americana name) and I would highly recommend. We couldn't pronounce the names of the dishes or what the names meant but the owners and their son are very helpful in sorting out the choices. They do serve a lot of food, so be prepared to have left overs the next day. This was my 2nd time, and I will go again. I want to try different dishes on the menu.

They've got amazing Latin American food from a variety of countries. The Cuban coffee is perfect and it's the only place to get it in Panama City. It's not just another Mexican restaurant, so don't expect that. I'll be back regularly, you should try it too.

Very good, new, family owned and operated Latin restaurant in Panama City. My wife and I ate there for the first time tonight. They offered menu items from several South American, Central American, and Caribbean countries. I had the Palomilla steak dinner and my wife had the Carne Asada dinner. Both were very good. We want to come back to try other menu items. The service was first rate and a nice family touch.

The best carne asada I’ve ever eaten. Los antojitos and other restaurants are not comparable to this quality. A must go if you are in the area. It is kind of hidden off of 11th street but definitely go search for it, you won’t regret it.

Great family owned restaurant. Took a while to open because of the permits. Place had been closed for a long time. To the jerk that gave them one star? So they secure the space and dont open when you want you give them a bad rating. You suck they don't .
