Panna Weston

They had a promotion for buy one get one 50% off salads. And then charge you full price for both. When you dare question it, they huff and puff and roll their eyes. Took my whole lunch break for them to make a salad. When I asked for help to expedite everyone just brushed me off. Prices start at $ 7.00/salad and some might say we’re paying for convenience of it to be fast. But they’re not fast at all. They were having some weird team meeting during lunch hour. Salad was sub par and kind of gross.

Great food. However, misleading customers by saying they open 24 hours when they close for 30 minutes at night, and in typical Venezuelan fashion they selectively let some people in (their friends) while other customers wait outside…

Panna is a local staple for anyone that lives in Weston. For me it is both a terrific breakfast and coffee stop in the morning as well as a late night spot for a snack either before leaving south to Miami or coming back.
The Spanish food is amazing and so is the service. The fact that it’s right by I75 definitely helps. Definitely a great place to go

I have visited this locale in many occasions and fell in love with their pepito sandwich. But today i stopped by on my way home from work, around 11:40 pm, and ordered two pepitos, one chicken and one steak, and when i got home i was ansious to taste that delicious food but i was extremely dissapointed with what i received. No matchstick potatoes, no sauces, a super thin half slice of tomato on one side and the same size of lettuce. Maybe daytime recipes are different like the cooks?

Amazing food and you would never expect it from a gas station. I don’t mean that in a bad way… The food is absolutely amazing! I have the Panna Burger, what a great burger and I would bet it is the best burger around. Thank you Panna and I highly recommend.

Wow! The BEST Colombian Empanadas and pan de bono! Definitely reminded me of my trips to Colombia. QUE RICO

Looks like a convenience store but wow! The carne asada areas are amazing. So many great options to choose from. Definitely recommend

I truly wanted to love this place. The empanadas were wonderful. We should have just ordered those, but noooo. We just had to get CACHAPAs. We waited 45 mins for ½ of our food. When we finally got them and got to our room and it was so greasy we didn’t even eat them. Now other items coming out looked much better than what we ended up with.

Inside of a gas station, you can say it is a hole in the wall but the food is mouth watering! Definitely a Venezuelan run store, but they do have Colombian empanadas and also Argentinian ones, but Stick to the Venezuelan food. The arepas are delicious, so are the tequeños and the cachitos are to die for! Get a car wash and get some grub

I love this place. I wish I had something similar in the Atlanta area. They sell tequeños, empanadas, cachapas and arepas

I love coming here… The food is great and they are open 24 hours… So when you get the late night munchies, you know where to go…

Yes! Finally a reputable arepa place out here in Weston. Great variety, good flavors, organized. Kinda weird location being within the gas station but plenty of seating available.

A co-​worker mentioned this place as having the best empanadas: Colombian, Venezuelan and Argentinian styles. I stopped there today and was NOT impressed! It is part of a gas station and attached to a car wash/​detailing facility. The place looked clean, but the service was horrid. The baked goods are all the way in and on the opposite side of the entrance to the shoppe; yet you have to figure out how and/​or where to place your order. You can stand for minutes waiting and no one ever asks if they can assist, nor calls you over. I finally had to go up to the register located on the other side where you pay for your gas, to inquire. The attendant, who was not friendly nor helpful, advised he was the one to take the orders and cash «everything» out! I placed my order for each of the empanadas and a cachito (bread stuffed with ham), paid, and then he asked for my name. I went back to the baked goods side and waited to be called. The empanadas were not great! They were cold and as though they had been sitting all day! I’ve honestly had better at other places, including a kiosk at my local mall! The cachito’s ham was extremely salty and they took so long to call me that it put the nail on the coffin to not recommend nor return!

Delicious hole-​in-​the-​wall, or rather, hole-​in-​the-​gas-​station. If you’re down for arepas, empanadas, or flavorful sandwiches, this is the place. Random enough, it is inside a gas station, so fill up while you’re there. The food is so authentic and so good too; lots of cheesy goodness. It may be a little awkward to eat and sit, so I’d personally rather take my food to go.

I found this place unexpectedly when putting gas in my car. When I went inside to pay, I saw Panna Express to the right of the gas station cashier.
I decided to buy a quick lunch to go and ended up getting a tequeno and empanada.
I have to say, the tequenos are amazing here… best I have ever had! The Venezuelan shredded beef empanada was delicious and fresh, but a little too greasy.
I would stop by again if in the area and try out some more items on the menu, like the arepas, which looked really good.

This place is located in a gas station. When you try the freshly cooked food you won’t believe it. It is great!
They are open all night and always cook everything fresh to order. They have a nice extensive menu and are very friendly.
I would really recommend the tuna sandwich or the Cobb salad.
They also have some empanadas already prepared in you are in the mood. The choices are meat, chicken, or spinach.

Love this place, I go to the one in Davie all the time… But this Weston one is very dirty! The tables stayed dirty the time we were there… We had to walk around to find a clean table! We got there at 1035 and left at 1057am and the tables were still dirty. Bathroom was sooooo gross!
The food was the same as any Panera. I asked for more croutons and they never came. I asked the guy that brought my food and he looked at me like I had to heads!
This Panera needs to clean up!

Welcome to Panna Express, a café inside of a gas station located in Weston. While many people have no idea what this place is, «Westonians» certainly do, especially if they speak spanish. The Latin fare here is extremely consistent, which may seem like a real stretch given that it’s in a gas station and it’s in Weston (where most restaurants and cafes are a joke). I don’t throw the 5 star rating around too much, but this place is as good as it gets for what and where it is.
Let’s get right into the rundown. First off, the food is basically latin street food and is the PERFECT place to grab some food after a night on the town or if your just up late and need a bite. I have seen this place packed wall to wall at 3am, though it usually just keeps a good steady crowd. You can stand right there and watch your food being cooked/​prepared right in front of you. Most of the food here is either Venezuelan, Argentinian or Columbian in origin but as you explore the menu and eat the food, it doesn’t take much to realize there is a real mixture of influence, hence the best label is Latin and or South American.
As far as items to be suggested, i personally love the arepas in this place. You can get many different varieties of them and I would venture to say that I haven’t really found any place that many options for arepas anywhere near here, so that is really nice. Another one of my favorite items is a guilty pleasure called «cachapas» which is basically a sweet corn pancake folded over which queso de mano inside. It’s ridiculously good. My third recommendation would be to try the vast array of hot dogs and hamburgers here, served with the Latin flare that really makes something so plain and common turn into something stellar. Much like the arepas, there are a wide variety of options to go with as far as what kind you would like. An honorable mention must be given for the empanadas and tequenos as well. They also carry a really nice strawberry soda called Fres Colita (imagine the Venezuelan version of Big Red), which you don’t find at a lot of restaurants locally.
The staff here have always gone out of their way to be warm and friendly, and if you come in enough, they will remember your name and call you by it each time you come through. have any idea how rare that is in SoFla (or anywhere that is as busy as this place, for that matter)? The one or maybe twice that i ever had a problem there, it was taken care of immediately, and they really go over the top to make sure what you want is what you get.
I love this place and consider it one of the very few gems Weston has to offer.

I absolutely loooooove the guava and cheese tequenos and quite honestly its the only thing I’ve tried but they are soooo delicious. I literally went back twice today within the hour cause one just wasn’t enough.
Panna happens to be inside the gas station but pretty much takes up most of it. It’s pretty packed regardless of when you stop in. Its attached to a car wash that gets super busy in the mornings and lots of bikers and early risers so tables are usually taken up inside but this is stop and go for me and I’m okay with that.
Place is spotless, service is good and tequenos alone are waaaaay worth the stop for me.

Once in a while Unilocal leads me to an incredible meal that I would have never had had otherwise. I had my eye on Panna for a long time but was skeptical since it was located in a gas station. Really how good could a gas station eatery be?
Well one day while helping my mother-​in-​law buy a car we finally finished around 3pm without having any lunch and happened to be in the area. Luck would have it that Panna popped up in Unilocal.
Since I was ravenous I decided to order a Works Burger which comes with ham, egg, bacon, potato sticks, lettuce, tomato, and a shitload of crazy sauces all over it. Oh and make it a DOUBLE. I watched the chef make this crazy contraption and it’s probably the burger version of a Colombian «Perro Caleinte» where they put every freaking ingredient and sauce you can think of on a hot dog.
The double was probably large enough for 2 but in my delirious state I decided to eat the whole thing. All I can say is that this burger tasted like pure heaven. Honestly I wish I would have taken a picture but I was so hungry I ate it all before I remembered. Somehow all of the ingredients just mesh for bite after bite of alternating savory and sweet goodness. Thank God I didn’t eat it there or else they would have escorted me out for making indecent noises while eating.
Thanks Unilocal!Looking forward to checking out some other items on their extensive menu.
