I find this funny.  You learned the panamanian way to addresses.  We use landmarks to find an address.

Has anyone actually found this place yet? And, if so, was it good and worth visiting a first or repeat time?

I took a taxi, so I didn't have to have directions other than what someone posted here.

It's a small out of the way place with a couple of tables, but it was okay since no one else was in there. Looks very clean.

There wasn't much selection & as I understand it, you can't get Mx rice unless you order in advance as supposedly Pans don't like Mx rice (how strange is THAT???)

The pineapple drink me & my guest did not like, but we both loved the rice drink. I recommend that.

I didn't like the pica which IMO had no flavor, so that was a disappointment for me as I LOVE pica & the other Mx restaurant in Boquete has GREAT pica.

I ordered a combination plate & asked for the price ahead of time & there was a misunderstanding between Chris & his worker, so at the end it took over 10-15 minutes for them to discuss the pricing, the math, why she misunderstood, etc. etc. while me & my guest were waiting for the correct price so I could pay & just leave so we could catch our bus. Then even after that her math was wrong & Chris had to show her 2-3 times why it was wrong. I wasn't happy about that, but I get that it's Panama & they don't understand you don't do all of this in front of the customer, you just eat the issue & let them leave.

But at least there wasn't a fight with me when I said no I wasn't going to pay the extra money. We aren't talking $2 here, it was a lot more & I'm not a rich person.

The first time I had the chicken tacos I liked them. I ordered 2 more & they weren't as good (no flavor).

The prices are expensive IMO, especially b/c the portions are very small. If they were larger portions the pricing would have been okay, but I understand that Chris is using all fresh ingredients.

I'm a foodie, so my tastes are different than yours.

Chris was a nice person, so it was a joy to talk to him & I mean no disrespect Chris, I'm giving my honest opinion as I should.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Actually the map made it pretty easy for us to find.

Food - styled more like a street taqueria, not a Mexican restaurant, so don't expect a huge menu. Flavors of the tacos were good, the meat was tender and moist, the salsa was good as well, chips were stale, traditional drinks were good, no beer. Prices are not bad, but not inexpensive like a typical Panamanian restaurant. All in all, if you are in David in the afternoon or evening it is worth a try.
