😐 For me it was nothing special. Prices are fair though. Mostly a tourist crowd in here. Every table was taken and I think all were tourists. I had the pork tacos, she had the pork chop. See the below menu for updated prices

👍👍 Amazing experience! Learned about the history of chocolate in the Mayan culture as well as how it’s grown. While the history lesson was going on, everyone was able to sample the various stages of a cocoa bean. Some of these I didn’t enjoy at all. Thankfully, they finished with a chocolate drink simi...

Cenaida's Belizean Food
Central American restaurant
👍👍 Great local restaurant with reasonable prices and friendly owners. Coconut chicken and black soup were delicious. Maybe I wouldn't recommend the beef so much. For card payments under B$25 there's a 3.5% charge.

👍👍 5 stars because of the Happy Cow Burger and the fries. Let me say the presentation was superb. I was told by David, the bartender, that it was really good. But I think he undersold it. This burger [Happy Cow] was everything I look for in a burger. It was cooked properly, the bun is made in-house, it...

👍 Food was great, waited 90 mins for a burger and salad though. Food when it came was good at least. View was decent, and the breeze that came through was nice. Margarita had some punch to it! Outdoor toilets needed some attention. Decent wifi

👍👍 I genuinely enjoyed this 1hr iguana tour. There were only 4 of us on the tour so maybe the small numbers made for a better experience. We could touch, hold, and carry handfuls of baby iguanas; our guide, George, just continued to pile more and more onto our shoulders and heads! It was interesting to...

👍 Another day in Belize, another good meal. This one at Erva’s Restaurant in San Ignacio. Centrally located within the town, it’s known for its burgers which nearly 80% of our tour group ordered. They must be missing home. They certainly were popular although the meat a little bit too pink in the midd...
