    El Trapiche was a fun experience overall. I didn't know what to expect from the show but it surprised me with all of the Panamenian Cultural Elements. I'm so glad that I chose this restaurant as part of my first trip to Panama and early in the trip, since it exposed me to aspects of the country that I experienced later on. The food was tasty and the service was wonderful. Also enjoyed the interactive elements of the show. It was my Mum's birthday and they sang happy birthday and coordinated dessert during the show! 10/10 experience

    Where do I begin! From the complimentary soup to the amazing food. Everything was beyond delicious. Ambiance is incredible and loved the three men that came to sing to us table side. But above all was the service we received from Luis and Renaldo they went above and beyond to make us feel like family nevermind customers. I could not recommend this restaurant more than to say while in Panama you need to plan a visit there!
