Boulevard Balboa (Avd Balboa)

Los emparedados con su pan de la casa son buenísimos, algo pequeños y costosos, pero es un gusto adquirido. El menú muy variado, atención buena

Excelente comida, porcinos muy grandes y buenos precios. La atencion es deficiente pero el ambiente es nice. Mi recomendacion sopa de lentejas, sandwich cubano y el plato de pernil con pure de papas.

Es un clásico y tenía años que no iba a almorzar. (Casi siempre voy de noche). Decidimos pedir el menú del día. Incluye sopa de entrada, pan de la casa ( delicioso como siempre), plato principal y postre helado, gelatina o café. Esta vez nos tocó otra mesera , una señora de lo más amable y rápida. Comimos dorado y costilla. Buena relación costo-calidad.

Often going to the oldest restaurants in Panama entails knowing whats best on the menu. This is Panamas oldest version of a "diner" and for me the sandwiches and milkshakes are king. They also do great fruit smoothies. Whenever I go here I always get the same thing which I never get bored of because it so good. I get the filet steak sandwich with swiss cheese ONLY with butter and mustard. Putting lettuce, ketchup and mayo in ruins it in my opinion. Sometimes I get the grilled potato fries too if I'm hungry as these are really dry and crunchy and delicious. I wash it all fown with the absolute best milkshake in Panama....coffee milkshake. They use good espresso and vanilla icecream and its amazing! They also do by far the best club sandwich I've had in Panama. Try any of these and you will thank me later. Sit at the bar. Service is great. Highly recommend.

The BEST diner in Panama. The one I'm talking about here is the oldest and most well established one on Avenida Balboa (not the one in Allbrook Mall). Two things I'm obsessive about here...1) batido de cafe (coffee milkshake)...absolutely the best batido (alongside the chocolate one from Pan y Canela) in Panama; 2) emparedado 'filete con suizo y mostaza' (filet steak sandwich just with butter and mustard...don't add all the other crap like lettuce, tomato, mayo and ketchup...keep it simple)...it's like a panini squashed sandwich...and the bread they use is soft and sweet and SO delicious! All the other food I'm sure is good...but these 2 items are so great I wish there was a dedicated turn off just for this place along Cinta Costera when I'm going in the opposite direction. The staff behind the central bar where they make the sandwiches/smoothies are worth particularly mentioning. Some are the original staff from the 60's I'm sure...it's a pleasure to watch them work...they are very attentive and friendly...and if you're really nice they may let you have what's left in the blender! Ai! Apparently politicians and other important (?) people come here...but who cares when the food is this good value and there's always something better to watch on the TV.
