La Buga Gastro Market

Absolutely loved this place. We just randomly walked in because we were looking where to have our Christmas evening dinner (so, needed something special but we were not willing to spend fortune). This place certainly exceeded our expectations. All the food we ordered was very delicous. We had guacamole with nachos as a starter, lazanja with chicken and tuna steak burger. The atmosphere at the restaurant is made so good that you don't really want to leave. Great music and amazing decorations. And without saying - staff is fantastic, not to forget that majority of them were talking very good English which is not that common in Panama. 100% recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. At least we weren't and we definitely will come back during our six day stay at Boca del Toro.

The atmosphere was awesome. Customer service was awesome. The food and drinks were awesome. The employees are very friendly. The prices are good. You can get a seat right by the water with a beautiful view.

We went to this place for lunch. The food was very tasty. My family had Huevos Pancheros and I had a delicious fried chicken sandwich on a very fluffy bun. The menu had a lot of different options, including fun nonalcoholic drinks. The atmosphere was quiet because we were there early in the morning, but I could see at night. This place would be hopping. The service was OK. The server was fine, but not particularly friendly. It took a very, very long time to get our food and drinks, but I’m going to chalk that up to the fact that they had just opened in the morning when we first got there. Overall, I could see coming back here.

Cool place & easily the best service on the island. But the food was not good. We had 5 different dishes and none of them were good. But service was great and the cocktails were good.

My mom (65), daughter (14) and I (40) all had such an excellent experience here this evening. The ambiance is fabulous and the food is so fresh and tasty! Our server Franklin was so helpful and welcoming and made our dinner really pleasant.

Hands down the best food in Bocas. Amazing service, decor and music too.

A great place to sit in the breeze, have a cocktail, and eat great food. I sipped a delightful, fruit filled sangria while my husband enjoyed his strawberry mojito. We watched the water taxis come and go, enjoyed visits from dogs, birds, and a gecko who happily slurped up some spilled Pina colada, and even met some like minded human travelers. The food was fantastic! I had a build-your-own poke bowl and it was perfect!! The fish was fresh and flavorful and I was thrilled that I could have quinoa instead of rice. So many wonderful flavors. Yummmmmm! My husband had the nachos and absolutely loved them. The portion was big enough for 3 people and all the toppings were fresh and beautifully seasoned. Definitely a place I'd go again!

Food was good although there were some flavors missing in my poke bowl. The portion was very decent. Nice location, nice decor. Waiting staff could be friendlier. Big plus for a delicious coconut smoothie!
