Street Food Tour in Panama City
About this experience
Taste over 20 authentic Panamanian flavors on this immersive street food experience - from fresh ceviche to Panamanian coffee, traditional sweets, and spicy BBQ - while enjoying exclusive signature natural juices crafted only for this tour. Your guide is Jonathan, a food guide and founder of Paradox Experience. He created the Santa Ana and Casco Viejo Gastronomic Guide, dedicated to preserving local cuisine. Working with legendary chefs from the community, this tour explores the Afro-Antillean, Indigenous, and Asian markets, flavors, and influences that make Panamanian food unique. Begin at the famous Mercado de Mariscos, where you will explore Panamanian ceviche from the hands of the first COO of the famous fish market. Taste a range of local hot sauces made from tropical fruits, mustard, local peppers, and spices. Refresh with crafted tropical juice cocktails using fresh seasonal fruits. Visit Dolores Bakery in Santa Ana for traditional bread pudding and cinnamon rolls. Discover Black Cat Fonda's incredible fish fillet with coconut sauce - the most underrated dish in the city. Try El Domini's legendary chili dogs, a recipe developed over two decades ago that has become a local institution. End with Yasda The Delicious, an iconic Panamanian Diva who serves the best Escovich Onions in El Chorrillo - a true taste of Afro-Caribbean Panama. Through this experience, you will connect with the real culture of Panama while supporting those who keep their culinary traditions alive. This is not just a food tour - it is a journey through the diverse cultural influences that shaped Panamanian cuisine.
