Good Panamanian Food in Prospect Heights/Crown Heights?

From Robert Sietsma's 2004 book The Food Lover's Guide to the Best Ethnic Eating in New York City: "One of the most interesting places to open recently was the city's first Afro-Panamanian coffee shop, combining elements of African, Dominican, Ssalvadoran, and Jamaican cooking, and featuring plenty of snacks as well as set meals. Take a meal at Kelso Diner, and you'll be eating something really rare.

also from the same book, the listing is as follows
Kelso Diner ***
648 Franklin Avenue, Brooklyn, 718-857-4137
Afro-Panamanian cooking displays a wild assortment of influences — the wonderful deep-fried flatbread called ojaldo points straight to Africa and India. This hopping Prospect Heights café and social club features snacks and filling soups at lunch, and more ambitious sit-down meals at suppertime. The searing yellow hot sauce might be Haitian or Trinidadian, while the tortillas mimic Colombian arepas, only coarser and oilier. Higado reprises the kind of liver and onions that parents sometimes have to force their children to eat, only the tender strips have been zapped with Jamaican-style curry powder, improving the dish 1,000 percent.

I've been there a few times and it always seems like it's stewed chicken for dinner, but you could try your luck. And don't get lost looking for that in Prospect Heights. It's on Franklin Avenue between St Marks and Bergen in Crown Heights. ;-)
