At this super-tranquilo thatched-roof restaurant on the water, the delectable fish (pargo, or red snapper, during our visit) is fried and draped with peppers and onions. Try the “hot mama ” sauce on the accompanying coconut rice, beans, salad, and patacones, and wash it all down with a cold Balboa beer. With the Caribbean breeze in your face, this is exactly where you want to be.
