Banderas - Panama City

Absolutely LOVE this place! It is family owned and operated and they could not be warmer or welcoming when you go through the door! The food is absolutely amazing! The portions are huge and the prices are great. To date, I had the pleasure to try the Cerdo Frito (Nicaraguan Pork and the Street Taco (Pork with a freshly made maize tortilla). Believe me if I tell you that there is not another restaurant with so diverse menus. From Columbian to Nicaraguan to Dominican Republic to Brazil, and this is just a few to name! Make yourself a favor and try it today. Thank you later; thank you Jose and family for bringing such a great restaurant to the city!

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.

This is some authentic amazing Latin food!!! Everything about this place is great! I would recommend trying anything on the menu! Their food is all made from scratch it tastes delicious! It’s family owned and operated and they couldn’t be nicer and welcoming!! I also love their well nicely authentic decorated restaurant! I will be coming back regularly for sure! Can’t wait to try their Brasilian dish!!
