[@mariaclark4836]

How nice. I like that you do restaurants video for when we visit Panama 🇵🇦 is great to have a general idea of where to go and try some food and it is great idea too of show us some hotels too.

So weird, I've only been in Panama about 6 months and have stayed and ate at every placed you showed on this video. There is also a very good Italian restaurant across the street from Sen Vietnam. I don't remember the name of it but there's a sign for it close to the street but the restaurant actually sits back off the street. A little hidden gem. Very good and very reasonably priced as well.

LUCCA? Very good!

[@leefarley7365]

FYI- I'm staying at the Coral Suites ..all good. i went to Maharaja and it was great. i am going to Sen Vietnam tomorrow and i have gone every day to the food court. had watermelon juice (twice) and BBQ . you are an awesome help. i sometimes can't make up my mind. thanks.

Omg you look like you are having fun. I really miss my country 🥲. Enjoyyy

[@kellipeterson8631]

I'm so jelly!! I am glad I brought all my Indian spices.

[@mariaclark4836]

Omg! I would love to see your entire yuca farm. I also am a yuca lover. It is sooo good.

[@kellipeterson8631]

My neighbor just brought me some from his farm, I love it.

[@bernadette503]

Just love that you are doing restaurant reviews. We just arrived from 🇨🇦 and this would be a great help to us. Muchas gracias Mary and Sharon.

[@egalt4128]

We plan to be there to from Canada. Hope your stay goes well

[@bernadette503]

@@egalt4128 hope so too. No plan B. This is it😁 When do you plan to be here.

[@egalt4128]

@@bernadette503 Same. We have to finish the reno on the house (we are in BC) and plan to rent it out. Looks like we may have to drive across the border. My dog is too large to fly, so I will be driving to Panama :P and my wife and kids will fly. I would like to hope for late august

[@bernadette503]

Good luck and hopefully we'll connect in the future. Safe travels

Yes, I love culantro in my chicken it add such a great flavor.

Thank you for the restaurant reviews in the El Cangrejo area. Panama City has so many wonderful restaurants that is totally overwhelming to just leave it to chance. Wifey and I make a list of the different types of cuisine that we want to experience on certain days of the week and that way we, substantially, narrow down the field. We also give ourselves a break, by renting for a few nights, an AirBnB top notch apartment with a kitchen, fridge, washer/drier, WIFI and NetFlix TV instead of a hotel room near the restaurants that we want to try out. Although, all restaurants are only an UBER away...it is nice to know that if you drank a bit too much, you can stumble back to your place without any issues... :D PS. Sorry forgot to add that you can get a clean and centrally located AirBnB 1-bdrm apartment as described above for about the same as what you would pay at a hotel (i.e. Coral Suites)

[@yiselburns5013]

I love maracuya too...so good 😋!

[@fanfare100]

With all the global warming that's been taking place, I surprised myself these last three years when my Maracuya (passionfruit) vines bore fruit ... IN NEW JERSEY!!! I made icecream syrup with them! :P

[@mariaclark4836]

Me too.

[@richl.3853]

You need to add hoisen and siracha to that pho! I see the hot sauce on the table :-) Thx, now I need some pho

[@IGoPanama]

Nothing spicy for me! I'm a total baby!! LOL

[@pauljenkins6877]

Maharaja is great, as is The Raj just a couple hundred meters away on Via Argentina.

[@judybachu3903]

Where do u get the money to travel , most of us have to save a lot of money to travel plus the exchange rates

[@IGoPanama]

I work.

[@jtromixx]

carrot juice at the vegetarian restaurant near there

[@bedinabebe4521]

🔥🔥

[@stephaniecampbell6811]

I see more girls day out in your future 😁

[@rolandcates9271]

Did I hear you say no more masks outside?

[@IGoPanama]

Yes. It's been like that for over a month now.

[@michelemckeand6665]

I did not care for Maharaja. That being said, I would return. I found the food to be quite bland. I chalked it up to what I have heard about Panamanians not liking spicy food. So if I were to return I would ask them to not be shy about serving me real Indian food.

[@michelemckeand6665]

This is not meant to speak poorly of Maharaja or debate your review. I did not order the same dishes. Just to help others who enjoy a lot of spice.

[@IGoPanama]

I'm one of those wussy babies that can't handle ANY spice! LOL

[@lmor8202]

Learn to spell the name of the places you report on...It's El Cangrejo ......not El Congrejo......Pitiful

[@IGoPanama]

Learn to conduct yourself as an adult, not a psuedo-aggressive keyboard warrior. Your life will be much richer if you are able to engage in meaningful conversation with others. For example, you could have said, "I noticed that you misspelled El Cangrejo. It's not spelled with an O." That is called constructive criticism and I greatly appreciate it! But no, you choose to spend your energy being rude and critical instead of helpful. YOU are what is wrong with the world today- and your actions are far more pitiful than a misspelled word.

[@lmor8202]

@@IGoPanama Sorry for the "pitiful" remark.. Must have been my mood at the time

[@IGoPanama]

@@lmor8202 I hope it changes soon for yourself and those around you. Thanks for the apology. 🙂
