In my top three Peruvian restaurants in all of Panama. It is definitely a must when visiting Boquete. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person PAB 20–25 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Filete Relleno Con Langostinos
There are no vegetarian dishes on the menu but when I asked if they had any, the staff said they could make any rice or pasta dish vegetarian. I ended up getting a delicious noodle with with grilled vegetables and a tasty sauce. My meat-eating companions loved their dishes as well. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person PAB 15–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Underwhelming location with exceptional food! Every dish we had was better than the one before with down to earth prices. Ceviche was unreal, beef hearts were hot and tasty and the suspiro limeño was the fresh yet light end to our dining experience at this absolute gem! Highly recommend!!
This is one of the best Peruvian I’ve had. Do not be taken by the location because the food is out of this world. Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was impeccable. The owner came out to talk to us and made suggestions on what to order. We’ve had many Peruvian food in different parts of the world including Peru and this world class Peruvian. If you go Boquete, you need to stop here.

Great options on menu. Seafood is delicious. Had an interesting appertizer-aphrodisac black shell Cerviche- aka cockle shells. The filet of beef with prawns stuffing was excellent. Only slight disappointment was the flan. Hard and very small Portion for $3.50. Rest of meal was good.

Amazing! Highly recommended. Would eat here again if we had the opportunity. Prawns were amazing. I had the sea bass with shrimp which was a touch dry but the sauce was unique and rich. My son had the Filet with red wine sauce...delicioso. Daughter had white spaghetti with chicken which was great as well. Calamari was some of the freshest we've had on the trip and the ceviche de pulpo was to die for. I wish we had gone back here tonight instead of down the street!! Definitely go here. You won't be disappointed.

What a great gem! This is a must stop here in Boquete. Hubby and I were skeptical at first to try this place because of the set up but once you go inside, its not really that small like you think it is but actually pleasant and just right. We had their octopus slices with olives and olive oil and it was bomb! We also had their spaghetti in olive oil with shrimp which was excellent. For beverage, we tried their limonada with mint. We highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back!😉

Delicious! We aim to eat here whenever we’re in Boquete. The shrimp tower was fabulous. They do a fabulous fried ceviche, I didn’t get a picture before it was devoured.
Very tasty seafood, I always go there when I'm in Boquete. I had shrimps for main and octopus carpaccio in olive sauce for starter. Food: 5
If we could give 6 stars, we would! If you come from Europe, forget all those Italian restaurants in Boquete (you can have them back home) and come here to have amazing Peruvian and Panamanian style food - everything we ordered was just exceptional and excellently cooked. My fish under seafood sauce and the passion fruit pie (special recommendation of the Chef) were just amazing. The place is small and cozy and yet nicely spaced for ‘social distance’ requirements. The service is very friendly and sharing English and our rudimentary Spanish we understood each other well. The Chef comes out and checks on you and makes the atmosphere very home-like. Great place!!
