La Tapa Del Coco
Afro-Panamanian Caribbean
The signature one pot colonense, a coconut fried rice loaded with pork ribs, shrimp, and green plantain chips, tells you where this Afro-Panamanian restaurant is coming from: the Caribbean coast city of Colón, via a food truck that outgrew its wheels. The kitchen pulls on Indigenous ingredients and Chinese immigrant influences that don't usually share a table. Condé Nast Traveler named it among the best new restaurants in the world in 2024.
