"Eat Breakfast on the Beach at Estel's Good breakfast spots are on the rise in San Pedro, but one of the most beloved places to grab a bite will always be Estel’s Dine by the Sea. Aside from its perfect beachfront location where you can eat with your toes in the sand, the food is pretty darn good as well. At Estel’s, you won’t find menus on the table; you must walk inside to check out the board. Don’t be surprised to find a crowd on the weekends, especially Sunday mornings. Just follow the smell of Charles Jr.’s famous BBQ specialties cooking on the grill, and you’ll understand why people are ordering plates of ribs first thing on Sunday! Aside from some impressive barbecue, Estel’s has a number of dishes that might leave you feeling the need to return once or twice more for breakfast. Personal recommendations include the Mayan Eggs, which is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and sausage, served with a side of refried beans and fry jacks, or try the breakfast burrito. Don’t forget the Marie Sharps hot sauce on top! Breakfast is served all day. Closed Tuesdays."

First and foremost, it’s hot and this is an open air restaurant. Now, I am going to tell you about this gem. My family had breakfast here at the recommendation of the hotel staff. We absolutely loved the waitstaff. They were very helpful in selecting the food. There is an eclectic island feel to this restaurant. It is located right on the water with covered seating waterside.

On my first day in Ambergris Caye, I woke up pretty early and was looking for a place for breakfast. Estel’s Dine by the Sea, was opening at 6 am. The Mayan Gods had listened to my prayer. I ended up there around 7 am, to be in the midst of a spectacular location. Smack on the beach, excellent seating, with commanding views of the Caribbean Sea and the world’s second largest barrier reef. There was a constant sea breeze, and an intoxicating fragrance of the environment. The restaurant is in downtown San Pedro, still family owned. The beautiful, elegant, charming and eponymous Estel was on hand. It was a pleasure to meet and also have conversation, with both her and her handsome son, who helps run the restaurant. Lovely people. I don’t know about you, but when I travel to any destination, when it is meal time, it has to be local. That is why I came here and that is what I ordered. Estel’s Special Mayan Eggs (Scrambled eggs, grilled onions, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro served with a choice of meat (for me it was shrimp), beans and Fry Jacks. There are many good things to say about my breakfast plate. Let me start in reverse order. In Belize, everyone desires Fry Jacks, but how Estel’s prepares them are something that you will always remember. A fluffy, soft, fresh and deep fried dough concoction that could have been eaten just on its own, for breakfast. Forget everything else. I must confess, that the texture, flavor and chew of Fry Jacks are very similar, if not identical to the circular Indian Fluffy deep fried bread, called Bhatura. It is also very close in taste to its Indian cousin, the deep fried but smaller circular and puffy bread, called the Poori. While the Jacks are the crown jewel in these settings, the rest of the ingredients on the dish, should not be forgotten because they were superbly prepared. Soft and delicious scrambled eggs and the beans. Really liked the accompaniment of Jam too. And what about the music and the service? All my (and your) favorite oldie tunes played in beautiful harmony. Fantastic. Service was friendly, attentive and exceptional. Thank you, Estel, for your warm hospitality and an unforgettable first morning, in Ambergris Caye.

Lovely by the sea dining with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great breakfast options to savor while sitting under a personal thatched roof with delicious coffee and good attendants. There’s afternoon grilled dishes that are also a great treat.

It was our last day in San Pedro and we wanted to catch the 8am ferry back to MX, it was between 6-7am and nothing was open for breakfast. We ran into a local who said to try Estel's, they were open. We were immediately greeted and sat, they just opened. We sat inside but still had a beautiful view of the ocean. We ordered the Mayan eggs special that come with Fry Jacks. OMG! The eggs were delicious with all kinds of flavors. The Fry Jacks OMG, what are those amazing little breads. So light and fluffy inside, I could not stop eating them. If it hadn't been our last day I would have come back for lunch and dinner. If you visit San Pedro I highly recommend checking this place out.

Estel's was great! We got a chance meet her as well. Her location has been around since 1992 and she's had a restaurant since the 80s. The food is a great spot to have breakfast or brunch at before you head to the airport. She also told us she has a BBQ slow cooked on weekends beginning at 11:30am. Recommend the stuffed fried jacks, mini or regular sized. You can also build your own breakfast. Try their mimosas as well and frozen daiquiris you won't be disappointed. Estel girl...great to meet you keep it up.

Loved this place so much I came back during a rainstorm just to get more Fry Jacks! The staff was so attentive and sweet. Loved stricking up conversations with them both times. They reminded me to relax and go slow as I was rushing through breakfast worried about leaving for snorkling (totally had more than enough time) . Mike served us both times and was so delighful to talk to. He went above and beyond to serve us and he is part of why we went back twice!

“Perfect breakfast spot with island vibes and ocean views.” Had an awesome breakfast here by the water in San Pedro. The fry jacks were fluffy and delicious — easily one of the best I’ve had on the island. The French toast was solid too, with just the right amount of sweetness. Service was super friendly and welcoming. It did take them a little while to circle back to our table, but honestly… it’s island time, no rush when you’ve got a view like that. The ocean breeze, clear water, and relaxed vibe made it the perfect start to the day. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in San Pedro — grab a table by the water and soak it all in.

The food was delicious, with a variety of options that did not disappoint. Plus, the prices were absolutely fantastic, making it easy to indulge without breaking the bank. Overall, Jazzy and the team created a memorable atmosphere that I can’t recommend highly enough!
