Classic Belizean dishes like stew chicken & fried plantains
"This homey, unfussy eatery features classic Belizean dishes such as stew chicken & fried plantains. The owner is hospitable and always eager to bring you a heaping plate of Belizean comfort food. The restaurant is a true neighborhood spot in that it invites surrounding organizations and businesses to host their meetings there." - Aero Collective
"The first thing you notice walking into this family-run Belizean restaurant is that it’s a party. Whether you’re here for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a karaoke event, expect Little Belize to be crowded, festive, and always a great time. As far as the food goes, start with the panades (fried masa stuffed with fish hash) and garnaches (crispy tortillas topped with fried beans, tomatoes, and onions), and end with either chicken or oxtail stew. Both are immensely savory, but it’s the fried plantains on the side that you’ll be talking about–and eating–on the way home." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"This Inglewood gem calls itself “the house of plantain,” but the restaurant excels throughout its menu with memorable oxtails and panades stuffed with ground tuna served with a fiery sauce. The crispy garnaches with black beans, diced onion, and queso fresco atop fried masa tortillas are best consumed while piping hot. While the old-school, banquet-style dining room has been replaced by a somewhat more modern set-up, Little Belize’s classic flavors remain." - Mona Holmes
"The first thing you notice walking into this family-run Belizean restaurant is that it’s a miniature party. Whether you’re here for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a karaoke event, expect Little Belize to be crowded, festive, and always a great time. As far as the food goes, start with the panades (fried masa stuffed with hash fish) and garnaches (crispy tortillas topped with fried beans, tomatoes, and onions), and end with either chicken or oxtail stew. Both are immensely savory, but it’s the fried plantains on the side that you’ll be talking about—and eating—on the way home." - brant cox, nikko duren
"Little Belize is a family-run Belizean restaurant right in downtown Inglewood. They’re currently only doing takeout and delivery, but that’s fine, because you have to get to the beach anyway. As far as the food goes, start with the panades (fried masa stuffed with hash fish) and garnaches (crispy tortillas topped with fried beans, tomatoes, and onions), and end with either chicken or oxtail stew (trust us, it’s so good you’ll want it even on the beach). Both are immensely savory, but it’s the fried plantains on the side that all your friends will be trying to keep for themselves at the beach." - brant cox
