Another Yum
May 1st, 2008 by Don Ray
Tuesday, I was out at lunchtime and I noticed that Renegado has a new Executive Menu between noon and 3PM. It is contains a main course, bread, a drink and dessert for $8.50. I couldn’t pass up another opportunity to have the outstanding Cannelloni.
YUM!
We keep going back because:
- David & Bertha are the consummate hosts
- The food is exceptional - in the preparation and presentation
- The restaurant and accommodations are spotless
- The menu is fairly priced
- The cerveza is the coldest in Chiriqui
- The other customers seem to enjoy the food and ambience as much as we do
- David & Bertha……wonderful and winning combination!!
Hi Wendy. I agree with everything you wrote.
Hi,
Can you please tell me how to get to Renegado? It sounds wonderful.
Thanks.

It is on the InterAmericn highway on the other side of the road from ServiceCentro the large auto service center.
Once again a trip to David FORCED us to lunch at Renegado!! What a treat it always is. Yesterday, we were FORCED by David to try Bertha’s paella arroz negro. It was incredible - unlike most paellas that are served in other restaurants, this one is a Catalonian recipe (just so happens that David is from Catalonia). It was artfully presented (in Bertha’s usual creative way) in a true paella pan, sizzling, and served with traditional garlic aioli (which was whipped so it was light and not sludgy and mayonnaisey like most). I have to tell you that for me to give up Bertha’s osso buco for almost anything else I have to be FORCED into it. But David was right - it was fantastico! Otra vez, Bertha: Muchas Gracias!
He also FORCED us to try a chilled white Spanish wine with it (since he knows how much we like our muy frio Balboas), and we had to agree, it did a much better job of enhancing the flavor of the paella.
For those of you reading this who haven’t FORCED yourselves to try the Renegado, please do: The Culinary FORCE of Peru and Spain will definitely be with you - and FORCE you to return…..!
P.S. Renegado will be doing a Barbacoa con Musica on Friday night May 30 from 9:00 to midnight. David assures me it will be a very special evening.
Hi Wendy. Thanks for the update. I have been meaning to try the arroz negro.
$8.50 USP?
Eclipsing Costa Rica prices..!
Was in Panama last weekend.. Everybody uniformly complaining of higher inflation. Plant a garden, buy a horse!
You can all thank me later!
PURA VIDA,

The difference is that you can’t get food this good in CR.
PURA VIDA.
