What User likes about El Trapiche:
I've got to be honest, I was a little skeptical about this restaurant. After having dined there, it's pretty good. I can't say it's my favorite place I ate while in Panama City, but it was pretty solid Panamanian food. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about El Trapiche:
It was very clean, but no greeting, just can I take your order. Since I had been to several other places, I think that’s just how it is. It took a while for the food. The bag was stapled, so it wasn't until I got back to the hotel that I realized I was missing some of my order, For the most part, the food was delicious, except for the empanada View all feedback.

Don't visit for breakfast... It was a disappointing experience and way overpriced. Trapiche is meant to be a super touristy spot which isn't really a good thing...

Great service, had the original Panamanian cuisine. I never had Panamanian cuisine before, so I couldn't really compare it to something that I know. All in all...
