Authentic Panamanian food

I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of vegan options available. I’d recommend the vegan breakfast platter and the vegan meat empanadas (I regret only ordering one!)

I also tried the vegan tamales, which come in soup form (these aren’t your Mexican tamales). Not the best but still pretty good. According to a native Panamanian I was with, the corn dough was a bit too chewy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sooo Good!

This place was so good! The menu had multiple vegan options and tried everything except the tamale. Serves traditional Panamanian style cuisine. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. And prices were extremely affordable. I even ordered some things to go. Would highly recommend during your time in Panama. Walking distance from JW Marriott.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Extremely affordable , Good hours of operation

Fast food vegan

I had the vegan emparedados which was rather bland and dry, not many fresh veggies. The green curry salsa that I ordered for the yucca extra was very sweet, probably full of sugar. I liked the fresh sugar cane juice.

Pros: Fresh juices, Fast service, Many seats

Cons: Not much flavour in the food, Fast food, Just a few vegan options

Panama vegan food

I’m so glad they are including some vegan options on their menu. I really hope they add more mains.
Update:
They have more vegan options now and very tasty!
You can find some classic Panamanian food in their vegan version like hojaldre, carimañolas, empanadas de ropa vieja vegana and like 4 other vegan options including tamal de olla! Super!

Pros: Vegan Panamanian food

Vegan sandwich is really good

The vegan sandwich is amazing, and the vegan hojaldres too. They don’t have milk alternatives, they do have really nice lemonade and fruit juices. Generally is just a good place to go with meat eaters and still being able to eat.

Pros: Very tasty sandwich , Very affordable

Cons: Not many vegan items, No milk substitutes for coffee
