Comments: |
Don Chacho’s is named after Miguel’s Father who brought the first wood fire grill from Paraguay. In Coronado, the restaurant has become known for its wood flame grilled chicken. It was made famous in the early beginnings when Miguel ran the open air grill on the side of the road. Today, the restaurant’s menu has diversified. While still satisfying their grilled chicken craving customers, patrons now have variety of options to choose from. Don Chacho’s proudly claims to be the only wood flame grill in Panama. |
