Close to baking district, great menu, comfortable seating, great prices. Tasty steaks, a bit "chewy" for my palate... all in all a very pleasant experience. I am looking forward to another visit soon.

We love this restaurant, the best meet, huge entraña, the best mash potatoes with sour cream but you have to ask for the sour cream, the best guava cheesecake.

It was a steak house. What more can I say. It did live up to it's mission, to serve a good steak. Very nice atmosphere. Wait staff very good. Portions substantial. Very satisfied after the meal. Would go back.

Everyone complains about the service in Panama City - but you CAN'T do that here. By far - the best service in town. Not only are they quick - but they can help you navigate their menu and if you ask you SHOULD take their advice. The steaks were amazing. Great steak, wine and potato meal that hits the spot....

Went for a late afternoon lunch which is just normal lunch in Panama. Amazing beef and wine in a great casual setting. Try something new, you will not be disappointed.

We went for a diner there as La Posta was full and we had no reservations. Gauchos did not require a reservation and unlike the other restaurants in the area, it had quite a few people eating. The steak was very good, I really liked it. But my wife ordered some fish, that was really not good. So if you... More

It was delicious and as expected flavors. the service was good too as was the bread.. It seemed odd that the menu said that some meat was imported from USA. I would go there again.

I went to dinner with friends at this place and we just had steaks. They serve different cuts and different weight of decent Choice quality beef. Service is quick and food is good. I had NY strip 16oz for $31 cooked to perfection tasty and tender. Do not expect a fancy place. Tums up!

I read some comments by other contributors and decided against eating here. But I found it by mistake and decided to give it a try. I ordered a 12 ounce steak which was more than enough. It was done just right and the French Fries were cooked correctly at the right temperature and double dipped. I ordered a house red... More
