Carlos Jr. and Carlos Sr. Carbo

On a recent shopping trip to Penonomé, we enjoyed a tasty lunch at a new spot, Pannito’s Restaurant & Grill. Whether choosing to sit at one of the umbrella covered tables outside, a cozy table for two on the covered porch or enjoying the warm ambiance awaiting inside, the friendly staff greets you with a warm smile and prompt, attentive service.

Father and son owners, Carlos Jr. and Carlos Sr. Carbo first opened Pannito’s Restaurant & Grill about six months ago. The outside wood fired grill is manned by Carlos Sr. who expertly tends to the succulent chicken, sausages, steak and ribs cooked to order. The aroma is wonderful and taste even better.

They offer a full menu including entradas, ensaladas, hamburguesas, emparedados, pizzas, platos especiales, mariscos y pescados, pastas and parrilla (entrés, salads, hamburgers, sandwiches, pizzas, special plates, seafood and fish, pastas and items from the grill).

We enjoy sharing the Pan de Tomate, three thick slices of light egg bread smothered with chopped tomatoes, melted mozerella cheese and herbs. Today we enjoyed an order of quesadilla de pollo (chicken). Knowing we were sharing, our waiter had the chef split the order between two plates. What better way to finish off a terrific meal than with a cappuccino. Delicious!

Quesadilla de Pollo

Pannito’s Restaurant & Grill is situated on the corner of the Interamericana & Calle Alejando Posado. Open Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., (11:00 p.m. on weekends), closed Mondays. Moderately priced, our meal of Pan Tomate, Quesadilla de Pollo, one soft drink and three cappuccinos totaled $13.23.

As if one restaurant isn’t enough, for the past five years Carlos Jr. has also kept busy with his bakery and coffee shop style restaurant in Aguadulce. Offering a large selection of baked goods including wonderful cakes, be sure to check out Pannito’s Bakery the next time you’re in Aguadulce.
