Sharing a parking lot with a gas station and convenience store, Aroma Cafe & Lounge is a local hot spot.

You can't go wrong with fluffy fry jacks, eggs your way, slices of bacon, and a cup of the beloved beans.

Liz's Fast Food

$
You can get a sack full of tacos, sabutes (corn tortillas topped with refried beans, shredded stewed chicken, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro), empanadas, garnaches (fried corn tortillas with refried beans, grated cheese, onions, habanero pepper, and cilantro), and other mestizo dishes here for almost nothing. Most items, though small as a sand dollar, are extremely tasty and cost only a Belize dollar for two or three. Daily specials may include fish, beans and rice, stew chicken, or other Belizean dishes, all extremely inexpensive. Place your order at a takeout window in the flaking green, streetside stall.
