El Chitre

Reviewed By wayrobinson

This Fonda had a great review in my travel guide. I love fonda - inexpensive local food. This one did not disappoint. I had the pork chops and my wife had the meatballs. The meatballs were awesome, the porkchop was fine. Each plate came with salad, rice and lentils. Good meal for a bood price. However, the best thing about this place is the outdoor seating... we really enjoyed the "people watching" opportunites it provided.

The Point at Red Frog Beach

The Point offers pizzas and fresh food in an incredible location on the beach. Guests from all over the archipelago come to experience the new menu and specialty drinks.

The place is very cool due to its unique location at Red Frog Beach. Burgers, sandwiches and salads taste good but nothing out of ordinary. Service was not the best.The restaurant has been totally redone with a new pizza menu. Please come and try us again!

Reviewed By P555AGstephanieb

To get to the restaurant you basically walk through what feels like someone's home. It's strange at first. The restaurant has a view and is over the water which was nice. We ordered the seafood soup and were very excited about it but it seemed to have fake crab in it which was disappointing considering we were literally floating over the ocean.

This was a very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. The food was 'ok' and the drinks were reasonably priced. They have some sun beds directly on the beach available for customers to use which were nice and quiet (unlike Starfish Beach around the corner).

We visited Buena Vista twice while in Bocas for a dive vacation. I really enjoyed the curry dish and my daughter enjoyed the burger options. Great place and good service even in a large group. Our friend is vegetarian and he had a dish delivered with chicken in it. The staff was so amazing at handling the situation and even gave him a free drink. Really nice place with plenty of inexpensive or more elaborate options.
