Get over it. It looks like a chain restaurant and it is. The locals all eat here so consider why??? Because the food is always perfect. I challenge you to try Panama. We travel and we eat all over Sinaola, Cuchupeta's, Pedro and Lola.s, Topolo, Water's Edge, but we eat here more than the others because of the value. EVERYTHING... More

Being a "local" for almost 11 years it was very common for me going there and tought it was very regular, just like mom's or grandma's kitchen. No longer living there I go there and I can see now it is AWESOME!!!! because it tastes like mom's or grandma's kitchen. The menu is very localized so you can have a... More

Excellent menu with equal service. In the middle of the Hotel Zone. One of the best pastry selections, to includes breads and even low calories sweets. Has a limited wine selection. Parking difficult - unless you get on the right side of the parking attendant. :)

We love to eat at Panama's and to take some treats home from their bakery as well. We especially like their Monte Carlo breakfast but have never had a breakfast we didn't like. Their breakfast salsas are all great. We like their lunches and especially their milkshakes but thir breakfasts are our favorites. Panamas in the Gold Zone is on... More

Some idiot put $100 in the prices which is clearly not true. This is where the locals eat. Think Denny's except with really great food and good prices. Great menu, VERY clean, I honestly don't remember seeing anything over $10 unless you want a big slab of beef. We go to MAZ every year and we eat here more than... More

After staying at the RIU and eating there're horrible inclusive meals I decided to eat here instead and it was 10000000000 times better than the RIU. Right next to shopping and the beach

Great service and great food!!! Mostly Spanish speaking and seems to be a local favorite. Became a habit to go by for a meal or snack and then to take pastries to the resort for breakfast. Can't go wrong here!

This the best restaurant for early breakfast. They open early so if you are going on a excursion or leaving that day they are the first ones open I believe. It is both a restaurant and bakery and the smells are heavenly and one of the gals pushes a cart around all the time checking to see if they can... More

The real treat are the wonderful cakes and pies. We have eaten Breakfast downtown and these are large and nicely prepared. We had luunch at the Panama in the Golden Zone which was plentiful, certainly filling and quite tasty. We really love the Guava pies which are outstanding with just a perfect combination of soft and crunch that delights the... More
