General Description

The Panama Hotel is a familiar Gerstle Park landmark. Built in 1910, it was purchased in 1926 by Joe and Maria Gargiulo. They settled their family in the two story Victorian and began to take in travelers from the train station two blocks away. Soon word was out about Maria's wonderful cooking, and by 1937 the family had added the stucco addition that now houses the locally renowned Panama Restaurant. Joe and Maria's restaurant, called Maria's Pueblo, was the first Mexican restaurant in the county and was operated by the Gargiulo family for over fifty years. Many of the Panama's current patrons remember Maria's huge platters of authentic Mexican food, her warm hospitality, and the exciting traditional music and dancing that her relatives performed.
