La Tapa del Coco Panama City

La Tapa del Coco sits on Calle 68 Este. It is a twenty-minute walk from the Cinta Costera and holds a place as no. 73 on the list of Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants. The kitchen focuses on creative, modern South American cuisine.

The room runs smart, feeling dressier than the casual spots found closer to Multicentro Panama. It avoids the tourist sprawl of Casco Viejo, prioritizing the food over the neighborhood bustle. While other venues in the city rely on their proximity to historic landmarks to draw a crowd, this kitchen makes a better argument for itself through the ambition of its plates. It offers a focused, intentional meal, separating itself from the predictable routines of the center.
