Casco Viejo – Panama – Casco Antiguo Real Estate and Lifestyle at Panama`s Old Quarter Last night I tried some amazing ceviche and patacones. Fresh and spicy, they were the creation of Waldo, the owner of the recently opened “Ceviche” restaurant at Casco Viejo.  Waldo has lived in Singapure, and its ceviche does show some Asian influence!

You can catch and run, or you can enjoy right there.  His labels read “All Natural, Pacific Ocean Catch, Lime & Sea Salt”.   Simply delicious! Location: Central … Continue reading →
