19 Incredible Places to Eat Central American Food in Los Angeles | Eater LA
"For almost 40 years, Barbara Tracey’s homey cooking has been an anchor in the Belizean community in Los Angeles, with some of the creamiest bollos (Belizean tamales) in town, as well as crispy garnaches (refried bean and cheese tostadas) and hearty Kriol food. Order the braised oxtail, stewed in a gravy and then reddened by recado — an annatto seed condiment. It’s sided with rice and beans, fried plantain, and a cool, chunky potato salad. On Saturdays, grab a boil up, a plate of boiled tubers, pig tail, eggs, and fish covered in tomato sauce. It’s a Belizean party on a plate." - Bill Esparza
