A fonda is Panama's version of the neighborhood lunch counter, and this one on Calle 5a updates the genre with a chef who made his name in Los Angeles. Steamed corn rolls stuffed with labneh and spicy honey share a menu with fish curry empanadas and shrimp cocktail spiked with cachucha pepper paste. Wooden tables, neon lights, and a patio tree anchoring the whole scene. The cocktail program leans on local ingredients, which is worth knowing before you order.
