"Chef KC was a delight...charismatic and full of life"

"tasting like the sabrosura of the caribbean"

Chef KC brings pure charisma to this colorful East Village spot, where he'll walk you through Panamanian cuisine's Caribbean and Latin roots before you dig into empanadas and grilled steaks. The food is unpretentious, the rum pours heavy, and the whole place hums with honest warmth.
