Very friendly and he was very helpful with all the questions we had. There is plenty of seating available. There is also a few patio seating available. I wanted to try couple different things so I decided to get the Trio Don Cha. It came with Ceviche and I chose fried fish and Arroz con Mariscos. I fell in love with the Ceviche and the Arroz con Mariscos had so much flavor, it was addicting. I kept going in for more bites. We also ordered a side of fried sweet plantains and Yuca. Everything was so delicious. We will definitely stop by when we are back in Destin.

I went to their soft opening and they ran out of chicken and never came back until now 2/2025. They…read morewere apologetic and gave me a free meal on next visit, but I never used it because I lost the piece of note she (the owner) provided. This visit, the moment I walked to the counter I was greeted with a smile, and I remember her from my first visit. I ordered the 1/2 chicken because it was only $3 more than a 1/4 chicken with 2 sides. You get both white and dark meat and I order fried Yucca and black beans & rice. The chicken has so much flavor from the charcoal. The Yucca was perfectly fried fresh, and the black beans and rice were satisfying. It is a little pricey about $27 with fountain drink and a 15% tip (in my opinion they should not ask with their point of sale system when it is not a full service restaurant). This is the reason why they got a 3 star instead of 4 stars. This reminds me of Peruvian style rotisserie chicken that I use to eat when I lived in Washington DC area. Here, they are branded as Latin American Charcoal Chicken. This not a full service restaurant. You order at the counter and pick up at the order at the other end. They have a small but adequate dining room. I wonder how they are during a lunch and dinner rush. I will soon see.

My husband and I went to Perú Chicken last night for dinner. Despite the language barrier, we were…read moreable to order and receive a delicious meal. We used the QR code on the table to find the English menu. There are only soft drinks on the English menu, but after finding the Instagram profile for this restaurant, we showed the waitress a pic. of Pisco Sours and she understood that's what we wanted to drink. They were absolutely delicious! They did take a while to be made and one was delivered about 5 minutes before the next arrived. My husband ordered the Poor Man's Steak just to see what it was about. It was served on top of fries, with rice on the side, half a plantain and a salad. The steak was a bit chewy and the fries had no salt, but he still enjoyed it. He used the sauce from my veggies/meat to dip the fries into for some flavour. My meal was the Fettuccine with huancaina and lome saltada. It was really tasty. The fettucine was in a creamy sauce with a tiny bit of heat. The meat was cooked really nicely with a bit of pink in the centre and the tomatoes and onions were also cooked well. The sauce was pretty salty, but it all went well together. We will definitely return to try other dishes while we're here in Panama City.

Unfortunately, we…read morehad dinner plans so we couldn't order too much... that didn't stop us from ordering the Pork Belly Sandwich though. It was incredible! We've picked up maduros and yuca fries in the past, but this was our first time coming in -- we sat outside with our senior dog and our server, Stephanie, even brought him out some sweet potatoes for a treat. A+++ service from everyone that came to our table. Lastly, we were obsessed with the yellow pepper sauce they served with the complimentary corn nuts. They just understand flavors and everything was so fresh and authentic. Highly recommend! P.S. they had a 2x$14 sangria deal I indulged in and my fiancé had the pisco sour

We ordered the guacamole dip thinking it was the one on the menu, for $4.99, but it ended up being the $8.99 bowl that we could not find on the extensive menu. I had Ñoquis Gratinados with steak. it was good, the steak was okay, but would have preferred all the cuts of meat be the same size, and bite sized. Spouse had the Churrasco a lo Pobre, a taco, and a tamale. The taco was good. The tamale, although large in size did not have much pork in it. The meat on the churrasco a lo pobre plate was really tough, unless you really like to chew, and chew, and chew, think twice about ordering the churrasco a lo pobre plate. If you do order it, bring your dental floss. Although we spoke to the waiter about the tough meat, and the waiter admitted he tried cutting the meat and it was tough. After that, there was no attempt to replace the meat with a more tender piece nor was my spouse asked if he wanted to try a different dish. When paying for the meal, there was no discount offered for the tough meat on the plate. The eggs on the plate were also kind of over cooked and brown and crispy around the edges. Customer service is lacking. Unfortunately for the restaurant, we will not be patrons.

That was the worst, the guy looks like he doesn't want to be there, he is a grump when you talk to him, and almost like you are bothering him when you come up to the window.

Yet hours said, 11am - 9 pm. Also make sure you order online do not expect to be served if you walk up to the window. There is plenty of seating area to eat in the outside, covered pavilion.

She scanned the code and the two items she wanted, the Jumping Lomo tacos and an order of the pork belly were not available on the scan of the QR code. When she was finally able to get the attention of the young man working today (he was on his phone and paying no attention to the window), she said she couldn't find the items through the code. He responded, "what do you want?" She asked for the pork belly and had already opted for the Jumping Lomo via the QR code order and was reluctant to ask for it to be changed to the tacos due to his brusqueness. The food left a lot to be desired. The pork belly was flaccid, no satisfying crispy crunch at all. At $8.99 it was a very small order compared to what we can get at any Mexican or Chinese restaurant back home and a waste of dollars since it ended up in the trash eventually. The Jumping Lomo was okay. Rice was good and with the sauce was pretty yummy. But the chicken was fairly bland and had no seasoning and the pickled onions were over vinegary. Such a shame... It held such promise but didn't deliver.

After roaming into a number of fun shops, we realized we were feeling up to a snack and drinks, and we happened across LaCo. The service and the food and drinks were good, and there was a nice ambiance to the place, too. The four of us immediately were seated at a bar during happy hour in the early afternoon when there were only a few people there. In fact, other than two people just leaving when we arrived, we were the only ones at the bar until just before we left. We arrived on a weekday afternoon just as happy hour was starting. Happy Hour prices included $2 off select wines and their house margarita, $1 off bottled beer, and discounted priced appetizers. My wife and I shared an order of Salsa Roja which included charred tomato salsa served with house friend chips. One of our friends ordered some blackened chicken wings, and both of our friends ordered drinks. Everyone was happy with what we ordered. LaCo stands for Latin Coastal as it is considered "30A's Latin coastal kitchen" with Latin-inspired lunch and dinner dishes with a coastal twist. The restaurant is located between Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach in Seacrest Beach. They operate on "beach time" and do not take reservations. Their published hours are daily from 11 AM to 9 PM with limited yet special priced happy hour menu from 3-5 PM and a full menu during the other times of the day. You can see their menu, photos, and more information about their restaurant as well as order online and sign up for news and updates at https://laco30a.com. While we do not head to 30A that often, if we head back to Seacrest Beach, we'll certainly consider another visit to LaCo, perhaps when the full menu is available. We recommend this restaurant to others wanting a unique taste and a filling snack or meal!
