    If you're looking for an amazing dinner spot in Panama, you have to check out Popino! The vibe is super inviting, perfect for a chill night out or celebrating something special. The staff is awesome — super friendly and always making sure you’re having a great time, for me it was part of the experience. Plus, the chef is incredible! The dishes are packed with surprising flavor combos and textures that totally wow you. The food looks just as good as it tastes, and the sharing plates are a must (the cocktails too) — they’re full of bold flavors and cool cooking techniques. Loved how they combine flavors and technics. Honestly, every bite feels like a little adventure. For me and my friends it was quite an experience. Highly recommend Popino if you want a memorable meal.

    Fantastic restaurant!! The food and service were over the top! We had the grilled baby lettuce salad, the butternut squash gnocchi with braised short ribs, and Popino’s sea bass. All fabulous. The drinks were outstanding, as was the dessert. Our server, Martin, was very attentive and friendly.

    The food was decent. Not as great as I would have hoped for this type of restaurant. It was also very hard to get in, they even made me send them a $50 deposit by credit card before they would confirm my reservation on Opentable!!! I was also disappointed as they were letting people vape in the dining room. As soon as I walked in a guy was sitting by the windows hitting a electronic vape pen. I could not believe they did not tell him to stop. Very disappointed and that instantly made me not like the place walking in. There was one point also that one of the servers left the door open to the kitchen and I could see the cook eating out of a big bowl of food right over the line as he was cooking. Like how can a chef be eating while cooking at this caliber of restaurant. I do not recommend and will never come back to this place. Tell your cooks to take a break and eat away from guests food. Litterally the guy was holding a bowl on the line eating and cooking. Very disappointed.

    Unfortunately, there was Noone at the restaurant except repairman and it appeared closed., so we did not stay after paying a taxi to get to the out of the way location. Very strange.
