Fodor's Review:

This little open-air restaurant near Xunantunich has won many fans who come for hearty Mayan and Creole dishes at rock-bottom prices. Most items on the menu are BZ$8 or less, including chilimole (chicken with mole sauce), cow-foot soup, escabeche, and stewed pork with rice and beans and plantains. The classic Mayan pibil (pork cooked in an underground oven), when available, is BZ$12. The banana licuados (milk shakes) are delicious.
