What an incredible spot! The restaurant has a great, slightly upscale casual atmosphere with amazing food. I got the fried fish and was not expecting such a large portion (with a mango and tomato salad, patacones, and rice) but the fish was fried to perfection. The banana and passion fruit juice was also a perfect complement to the meal. I will definitely return the next time I’m in Bocas!

This is the best restaurant in Bocas from all the places there. The food is good, drinks are very good, service is good. They did not have a cocktail we wanted but the waiter brought the bartender so we can explain what we want and she made it. They work in gloves. The atmosphere is nice. We had dinner there two times.

Easily the best food and drink we had during our week in Bocas del Toro. A lot of the food in Bocas is good (but simple) seafood or chicken with rice and beans, patacones, or French fries. My wife & I have spent 20 years each working in restaurants and this was our favorite meal. Peruvian food in general is wonderful - and Pepe Chupete’s delivery was perfect. We had a trio of ceviches, some wantons, and a fish dish and each one was fantastic. Expertly prepared, delicious sauces, wonderful compositions - and the best cocktail I’ve had in a long time (and I’ve bartended for 20 years!). Get the Pisco Sour with the wild berries and you’ll still be thinking of it tomorrow.

I ended my trip to Bocas on a high note with this amazing dinner at Pepe Chupete.
Recommended by the locals, the fried fish was amazing! The portion was huge and great value.
The vibe in this restaurant was really chill and the service was super friendly!

So highly recommended here in bockers. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. It is tidy and clean, very friendly staff, but for me as a Bavarian, the portions are unfortunately too small, but as is usual here, the price is right for the circumstances. Have fun. No German card

We all loved our food and service. I had the risotto, which we all agreed was the best. The chocolate cake was to die for. Please, stop selling plastic bottles of water! Our island is drowning in plastic.

Unbelievable find. Friendly staff, great upstairs seating, and the one of the best meals we’ve had during our 12 days in Bocas.
Wonderful authentic flavor with huge simple servings. Nice wine selection with other drinks available.
You are greeted at the street level and directed to the stairs leading you to a comfortable dining room with balcony seating. Just wonderful.
Revisited again this place just gets better each time. We rarely visit a place more then twice on a trip, there are so many places in Bocas, but the Tacu Tacu ( fish and pollo) is out of this world as are the Wantones Chupetones. The name is just a fun name with many meanings. Just arrive, order anything, and enjoy.

Excellent, authentic Peruvian food in a beautiful old building close to the sea. Terrace is a lovely place to sit. My Peruvian wife and I really enjoyed it.
Absolutely delicious meal, beautiful clean fresh looking restaurant. Some of the best Ceviche we had in Bocas and that says a lot because everyone has delicious ceviche here. We met someone on a tour that recommended this place. Prior to speaking to them this place was low on our list of stops but so glad we met someone that had dined her. It was one of my favorite meals while visiting Bocas.
Amazing food delicious and fresh. we enjoyed some new tastes what we never had before. And everyone doing it with passion.
