    We had a great meal here. We had a couple of small starters to share (empanadas); mains: the shrimp & the corvina; shared a cheesecake for dessert. Everything was excellent. Priced reasonably, with a bottle of wine, total bill was $70. Definitely recommend.

    En el show cuando explicaban los detalles de los trajes hablaban muy bajo o el volumen del mic estaba mal, no se escuchaba casi nada.

    No restaurant we’ve visited in Panama City has disappointed, but this offered the best value and felt the most local. Sangria is excellent, local dishes are all fantastic. You can’t go wrong and the bill will be half of what comparable quality gets you elsewhere.

    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
