The Original Belize Blog Since 2007 – tacogirl.com Belize Travel and Expat Resource – San Pedro, Ambergris Caye
Carbunkle Trumpet well known Bar 595 owner – foodie – blogger and long time San Pedro Belize visitor has submitted his 3rd tacogirl Top Ten list. If you have read his blog and seen his pictures you already know he is a foodie with saucy edge. His family have been long timers visiting Ambergris Caye making Carbunkle well qualified for a top ten food joints list. I am proud to day I have conquered everything on his list except for # 10 Friday night bbq at Lions Club.
Top Ten joints you have to eat (so you can say you got the t-shirt)
1. Estelle’s for Breakfast
2. Waraguma (sp)
3. El Fogon
4. Street Vendors
5. Tour Guide lunch on your own private section of beach
6. Celi’s Deli or Ruby’s for Johnny Cakes (by now Taco Girl is wiping her keyboard because she is salivating all over it!)
7. Pedro’s Pizza made by Walter
8. Ali Baba’s
9. Carumba
10. Lions Club BBQ on Friday night.

I am not sure I would say these are THE top ten.. maybe the list should be top twenty… BUT I can say that I have sampled foods at all of the place CBT mentioned. And agree that they fabulous!
Tacogirl.. you really do need to get to the Lions BBQ.. Besides being a great value, the BBQ helps the Lions which is dedicated to helping the needy of the community among other things.
Will be back soon for another tour around the great places to eat… counting the days. Gail 🙂
I agree food could be a top 20 or have a part 2. I have eaten Lions Den bbq before Gail for a fundraiser just not on a Friday night ha ha. Will have to go play bingo there at some point.
I’m wondering if he is using the term “Joint” to refer to casual food, and not necessarily the “Fine Dining” thing….which would be another list…Up for it?
Quite possible Gwen. If you are up for contributing a tacogirl Top Ten fine dining list I will gladly post it. So many options for Top Ten food lists here.
How does one find a “tour guide lunch on a private beach”? Sounds fabulous!
Denise many of the tour companies offer beach BBQ up at Robles point it is a great trip. I have done it with 2 different companies so far – Seaduced and Chel Belle. It is probably an option with some of the fishermen too and independent guides like lil Aphonse or Clifford and Eric.
We ate food in Central Park from the same lady you show above and it was really good. My sister said thet the rice and beans was the best that she had on the whole Island. Loved the pulled pork at Palapa’s. She really liked chicken quesadillas from Tackle Box.
How funny we all have rave reviews about the same taco lady. Thanks for mentioning your other family favorites. I am adding Estel’s barbecue breakfast on Sundays to the list too – the live music and ribs were both excellent.
