Good steak. Not my favorite for fish

Oct 2024 • family

Pleasant, but road noise and traffic exhaust a problem, so choose your table well. Enjoyed fish finger and caesar salad starters with beer and wine. Then entrees of filet del tres pimentón red, exceptionally good and tender, and pescado del dia/pargo, disappointingly overcooked. In hind sight should have ordered rare fish too.

Best place I know in David.

Aug 2024 • family

Always good food, drinks and service. Comfortable seating inside and outside, and an air-conditioned room if needed. Parking can be a problem but there is a fee lot not far away.

Tasty Food & Friendly Service

May 2023 • couples

My hubby and I visited for lunch. The atmosphere in this restaurant is charming and relaxed. We ordered the Fried whole snapper, Filet mignon and shrimp cocktail. The seafood was fresh and very tasty. You also get a mini ceviche everytime you order a beer! The service was very attentive and friendly. Great value here! I will certainly return for some delicious seafood.

A Seafood Paradise!

Mar 2019 • none

My husband and I dined at Bona chica last week and had such a delicious meal! We split the mixed ceviche and then paella. Both dishes were so very good! In addition, our waiter - Luis I believe was his name - was so helpful. I used my limited Spanish and he used his limited English and we figured it out! Luis started our dining experience by bringing us a sample of the Covina ceviche. Everything about the restaurant is wonderful! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely wonderful

Feb 2019 • couples

One of the locals at our hotel suggested this restaurant. It was fabulous! Prices were very reasonable and our waiter Luis was great. The ensalada con camarones was the best, many fresh vegetables warm and steamed to perfection with many many tender shrimp! The maricada de las casa fed 2 of us and it was so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant 🙂

unseasoned boiled potatoes not my thing

Jan 2019 • solo

I ate here 2 nights in a row, not because it was so good but it's convenience to my hotel. As in Costa Rica it seems in Panama seasoning food doesn't happen. Bland food needs help.

Popular but we won’t be back

Jan 2018 • couples

This restaurant was quite busy on a weekday evening and offers air conditioning in one large room while the climate of the rest of the restaurant is more tropical. The service was fantastic and our food came quickly; the problem was the quality and flavor. A lot of people were eating the same thing we ordered, a mixed seafood platter, and seemed quite happy. Maybe our language skills were to blame, but the proffered dish didn’t seem to be what was described by the waiter. I might give this another try on a future visit and order differently.

The owner was very friendly, the monkeys were fun to watch, the room was clean and the food was good. They even packed our sandwich lunches in one of their coolers for our beach excursion to another island.

Amazing and fresh seafood

Dec 2015 • none

I have been to this reastaurant many times and is very good for informal eating of fish and seafood. Loved the fact that every time you ask for a beer you get a free small ceviche. Very good!

lobster dinner

Apr 2016 • solo

It has probably been more than a year since I have had a lobster dinner in Panama. This restaurant has had consistent good seafood over the past couple of years of my visiting. I selected the lobster dinner, steamed vegetables and a salad, The lobster and vegetables were served hot, (sometimes a luxury in Panama) and the beer was cold.

Great spot after shopping at Campeon

Mar 2016 • friends

Nice little seafood place. Typical Panamanian. You get a little cup of ceviche with your beer. Indoor with AC or without and outdoor looking at the street. They will turn down the AC and music if you ask :>)
