The following week, the project manager who is based in London flew in to meet me in the Panama office. It was our first 'in-person' meet up although we frequently have online meetings together.
For lunch, we both went down to the nearby restaurant. It was also his first time in the country and we both are kinda 'illiterate' in Spanish, as we couldn't read the menu and depends heavily on the Google translate.
We simply walked-in to this restaurant coz it seems decent enough for a lunch dine-in, despite the place being empty. There were no other customer besides us.
There was a lone waitress and a person manning the drinks counter in this 2-storey premise.
I ordered a chicken burrito, which is quite huge and fully stuffed with chicken meat. It was served with seasoned potato wedges and tartar sauce on the side. The burrito was superb with chunks of succulent chicken meat & condiments.
Since he is a Dutch, we go Dutch for the bill. I paid USD15 including tax and tips for my portion of meal.

Lol on him being a Dutch. The burrito looked good. Used to do this at home after my man came back from Barcelona. Got influenced by Spanish food I guess. He would make burrito and other wraps on weekend for us. Now no longer do that.
I always love to eat all types of burrito and they are so filling. Now I understand why most Thai menus have too many photos with small tiny captions. It could help tourists to point this and that safely.
Now you have made my bucket list longer to visit Panama after googling the whole city by the ocean. Looks like Waikiki Beach. 💕 💕
I would love to eat the potato wedges. Burrito I would order one with beef instead. Good to go dutch. Were you in Panama for a month?
This got me hungry! 🍽️ The way you described that chicken burrito with succulent chunks of chicken meat and seasoned potato wedges… Mmm, my mouth is watering! 😋 It’s always fun to try out new restaurants, especially when you’re exploring a new country. I could totally relate to your experience of relying on Google translate and feeling a bit “illiterate” in Spanish. 🤣 But hey, it’s all part of the adventure, right?
I loved how you mentioned going Dutch for the bill with your project manager from London. It’s fantastic when you can bond over delicious food and cultural experiences like that. 💃 And the fact that the restaurant was empty except for you two must have made it feel like a hidden gem!
LOL! He's Dutch so you all went Dutch! I love burritos, those with beef. This restaurant is quite colorful.
