“Excellent food at this small, stand-alone Belizean/Caribbean hybrid, colorfully painted and sitting at the corner of a South L.A. street corner. I ordered the fish fry (with red snapper), with the mac 'n cheese and an order of fry jack. I also ordered a side of oxtail, and a couple of Belizean panades. Everything was delicious!! No doubt, the cooks know what they're doing here. The fish was well-seasoned and perfectly fried. It went well with the piping hot fry jack. And, the mac 'n cheese was unusually tasty. Penne pasta was substituted for the conventional elbow macaroni, and the cheese sauce--while slightly on the thin side--was incredibly delicious! The oxtail was very rich and tasty, as well, fork tender and extremely flavorful. And, finally, I loved the panades. They resembled long and thin empanadas, and they were stuffed with flaky fish, and served with a side of pickled onions. So good! And, this restaurant is women-owned (and run), and is also a family affair--consisting of mother, daughter and even cousins running around in the back. I believe in supporting businesses like this--women-owned and hardworking, kind people serving their community with affordable prices and supremely delicious food!”
