    Welcome to Mahalo, created by Canadian sisters Emma & Brit, located in the heart of Casco Viejo, what began as a dream, became a reality. Mahalo Panama, opened July 1st 2016, and the concept was simple, healthy food, promoting healthy living, and providing a space for people to feel comfortable, as if in your own backyard. Mahalo has since branched into two locations, maintaining the original location as a juice bar under the name of Snack Shack, and the new Mahalo Cocina y Jardin with a slightly more intimate cozy setting offering an international menu with the same healthy base. Since opening Mahalo has been seen in Vogue, GQ, Conde Naste Traveler, Lonely Planet and more.

    Exceptional service from Juan. Enjoyed the cocktail, pork belly, and shrimp pasta. The dessert was fun but not awesome.

    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.

    Exceptional tapas. Ask for the snack bar menu! We’ll be back on out next trip to Panama City. We shared 8 tapas dishes and had two glasses of Cava (sparkling rose) for under $70. before tax and tip. My wife thought it better than the very good tapas she’s had in Spain. For reference, I do very few comments on here.

    The restaurant, food, and service were excellent I would highly recommend this restaurant. One point to note, Opentable needs to pickup their game. The address in the OpenTable app was wrong and the link to Google Maps was also wrong. We arrived 30 mins late due to the incorrect information but the restaurant was extremely accommodating and understanding
