Panjaz Panamanian Cuisine

Small but very cozy place,family oriented,good tasting foods; I enjoyed the carimañolas and hojaldas, come and taste our Panamanian foods.

Went all the way over to that restaurant todayThere was no one, tiny place behind the wall of a convenience store. This place does not exist.Parking: Parking for convenience store

I read Shaunda's post on the San Antonio Restaurant Facebook page and we headed over to try @puropanjaz Panamanian cuisine.It's a stone's throw from Toyota Field and Morgan's Wonderland, inside the convenience store at the Chevron gas station. Shaunda grew up cooking with grandma, a Panamanian-Jamaican influence. Please be patient as the great food takes time. She won first place on Food Network's cupcake wars and a graduate of CIA San Antonio.We tried everything on today's menu (see photo). Most flavorful were the oxtail, Arroz con Pollo, Empanada, and Panamanian Tamal. The chicken in the Pollo and Tamal was so moist. No surprise that Shaunda brines the chicken! The Patacones and Yucca Fries were great with Panamanian ketchup.She didn't have dessert today, but I look forward to trying the rum cake. Please stop by and support her business. There is limited seating.It was great running into James and Ryan, who also saw the post.

It was exciting to find a Panamanian restaurant in the city. Tucked inside a gas station this place is a great find, particularly before or after an SAFC soccer game! I had the ceviche and it was delicious!! The kids had chicken fried rice. The servings were very generous so plenty to share. The owner was great and kept us posted on our order.

Awesome authentic Panamanian cuisine! Will definitely visit again! They have a grand opening on 3 November!
