“My favorite Mexican Restaurant In Panama City!“

“I never ever had a problem with their food. It's always the best and they always give you enough for your money.“

“We have tried three different Mexican restaurants around town and this was the best food by far. It wasn’t outstanding or anything but definitely the best in town. I don’t recommend the fajitas. I ordered the steak and chicken combo fajitas and they were very plain no seasoning and they didn’t come out sizzling. My daughter got the carnitas plate and it was delicious. The only complaint I have is the staff. The lady at the front, didn’t even greet us, or smile one time, just asked how many, and seated us. And our server never came back to refill our water or to see if we needed anything else.“

“The food was top tier! Favorite spot in Callaway!“

“La Michoacana is hands down the best Mexican food spot in Panama City! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and the unmistakable aroma of authentic Mexican cuisine. The food here is nothing short of spectacular—every dish is packed with rich, bold flavors that transport you straight to Mexico.

The juices are delicious, bursting with freshness, and the perfect complement to any meal. Whether you're craving tacos, enchiladas, or just a refreshing drink, La Michoacana delivers every time.

I highly recommend everyone to come in and experience this amazing restaurant for themselves. If you're looking for a true taste of Mexico in Panama City, La Michoacana is the place to be!“

“We were there Sept 1st and our server was Marissa. Everything about our dinner was great! The food was hot and delicious, lots of choices, she checked on us frequently and gave us food and beverage suggestions. There was also a Magician walking around who was amazing. My soon to be 4yr old Godson loved it and got a balloon sword. We were there to celebrate his Mother's Birthday and they gave a delicious sweet treat we were able to share.“

“I order the grilled steak tacos and the pork bean and cheese pupusas. Let me tell you this, that food was hands down the best thing I’ve tasted in a long time. The staff were amazing and the food was hot and definitely made with love, I will be coming back and refer people to come and try it. Y’all got a new customer 👍🏾“

“You can probably get a good burrito/bowl from other places as well; but what sets this place apart from everywhere else is the customer service! On Monday, I went in and for the first time and the 3 people working the counter (guessing college aged) were all phenomenal! In particular; Michael was exceptionally great. Something as simple as asking “how is your day going so far” with a smile and “yes sir” went a long way for me. In a world where customer service is hard to find and not even expected anymore; this was a nice change. I could go anywhere but I’ll definitely be returning here. A new Favorite in Panama City for sure!“
