We had the fried fish. The entire thing. One of us with a little salad and the other with patacones( fried smashed plantain). Excellent. They close earlyish 6pm. It’s a nice walk down to this end of the beach.
Also, the sangria was pretty good.

We likec this nice little restaurant bar at the end of the road in Farallon. Poor selection of cold beer. Did not eat here , but the food the waitresses were bringing out looked good.

We've just spent half a day at El Farallon beach where Pipa's Beach Restaurant is located. We came here twice in the past few days. Very nice and cozy place right on the beach. If you come by car and eat at the restaurant you don't need to pay for parking, otherwise it's $5. If you want to rent a Cabaña (beach hut) it's $30 for the whole day and you are allowed to bring 1 cooler with your own drinks, but not food, or you can choose a small table with umbrella, arm chair and a lounge chair for $20/whole day.
We were here during the week Tuesday/Wednesday and it was never too noisy or crowded, busy but not too crazy. The food is amazing especially Pescado Frito (fried fish) and Pulpo a la vinagreta (octopus in wine vinegrette). Also, we highly recommend to try red sangria, very refreshing and delicious!
The beach is clean and the sand is a mix of white and black which is a common thing in Panama when it comes to beaches.
Overall an amazing experience! Cheche - one of the co-owners was super helpful and spoke amazing English. It was nice to chat with him, very friendly and welcoming guy.
Pipa's has been there on the beach at Farallon since at least 1967, when I served as a Peace Corps volunteer. A new owner has added lots of upgrades -- more bohios and tables, showers if you swim before or after your meal, better parking. Prices are corresponding higher. Fresh fish pulled out of the ocean that morning, cold beer, rum and coke -- and now a full drinks menu. Worth going just for the atmosphere. Very busy on weekends -- parking often full by mid-Saturday morning.
Amazing visit. Was very quiet on a Wednesday for lunch.
Easy parking, keep driving after the road ends and there is a gate you pass through and a huge parking lot. I'm guessing it gets crazy busy during the weekends.
Great for kids, great food and mixed drinks for adults. I highly recommend.
Posting photos of the menu since I would have loved that.
Great place to spend the day. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food is good, the showers and bathrooms are great to have access to. Live music most of the day. Headed back as soon as I can.
Nice place on beach, a bit upscale to the normal, good food , good service, which is not usual for panama. A bit pricey for a domestic beer($3)
