Empanadas are known to many Americans as a Latin American appetizer but you should also be sure to ask for the local yuca root which tastes similar to french fries.
You can’t leave the wonderful city of Panama without ordering Sancocho! This chicken stew made with a starchy root called ñamé and seasoned with a cilantro-like herb called culantro is a staple on Panamanian menus.
