"Now run by Laverne Smith and her sisters, this daytime-focused Belizean spot draws locals with crispy fish panades—tinted almost orange and fried to perfection—and a popular stew chicken that’s cooked tender and slathered in a peppery gravy, served with rice, beans, and potato salad; oxtails are another favored choice. Service is mostly takeout with a few outdoor tables, though Sundays expand into indoor-outdoor dining with a live band, and plans were in place to reopen the dining room and expand dinner hours." - Matthew Kang
