Mama Chefa
First, Mama Chefa’s $2.50 ropa vieja. LLLLLLooove it! Ropa vieja is a traditional Panamanian dish consisting of seasoned shredded beef spread over white rice and beans. At Mama Chefa’s house, you actually eat inside her living room while you watch tele-novelas side-by-side with Panamanian government officials on their lunch breaks. Hands down, it’s most authentic Panamanian dining experience in Panama City. Mama Chefa knows I am obsessed and personally calls me on ropa vieja days.
$2.50 lunch specials. Limited amount served Monday-Friday.
Also, Mama Chefa books private dinners for $8 a person. It is the most authentic dinning experience in Panama. If you want to experience Panama, this is the place.
