I've been meaning to try this spot because I love Belizean food, and now that I work in the area, I really had no excuse not to pull up. An old coworker and I linked to catch up -- and of course, food was involved We started with the sample platter (panades, garnaches, and salbutes), and baby... everything was flavorful. A solid start. For my entrée, I got the stew chicken with rice and beans and plantains -- classic, comforting, and done right. My friend ordered the sautéed shrimp in coconut milk, and you already know I had to taste that too. Her official review: "The shrimp was super flavorful and cooked perfectly. The rice was sliiiightly undercooked, but still fire -- 8/10." The service? Great. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed -- even reminded us about the spicy slaw (which would've been a crime to miss). Prices are reasonable, and there's plenty of metered parking nearby. If you're in the area and haven't stopped by yet... you're tripping. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

We came to Little Belize after seeing it on the LATryGuy's YouTube video. My husband has Belizean roots and has really been missing the flavors his grandmother used to cook. And This place didn't disappoint. It came really close to what he remembers growing up We ordered the brown stew chicken plate with rice and peas, potato salad, and fried plantains, plus a side of mac & cheese sooo good! Everything was flavorful, comforting, and felt like a warm hug. It's worth a visit! The service was excellent, and our waitress took time to explain the menu. Little Belize is definitely a vibe in Inglewood. Also, try the "Panty Rippa" drink... just make sure you're not driving home though! God Bless! read more

Dined in at Little Belize Restaurant in Inglewood and had a fantastic experience from the food, drinks to the service. We had the sample platter with fish panades. I ordered the shrimp curry and my guy had stew oxtails. Added onion sauce and habanero hot sauce here and there set off the taste buds in the most satisfying way! Lots of love in the margarita that was served strong and delicious! The Reggae Medley bottled juice was also a nice size, tasted fresh and was served nice and cold. Food came out reasonably fast and portion sizes were on point for the price. Caribbean vibes, clean restaurant and lovely lovely greetings and smiles by multiple staff made it an excellent experience. There is a take out window that keeps the dine-in free from crowding and disruptive foot traffic. read more

How you go from good to terrible, no wonder their rating is so low. Went to order takeout and the cashier rung in the wrong food so of course when I got the food I brought it to their attention and offered to pay the difference for what I wanted and was told no I would have to Refund the order and pay again, like what? How does that make sense. If I already paid you why am I not able to pay the difference for the correct order. Trash. And had the nerve to have an attitude about it. Seriously screw this place. That's exactly how you lose regulars. Do better but with someone else's money because I won't be back. read more

The welcoming spirit and customer service is always a plus-pleasant, fast, but the food is the star here. I love their fish Panades. I usually get that alone or the sampler with Salbutes vegetarian style. My son loves the Oxtail Mac + Cheese and their fresh juices are superb. There's also a neighborhood vibe with culture flowing through this restaurant. They always do us right! read more

Alright, I was missing home a lot and needed to have the sense of being back in Belize, so while I was out in California spending a weekend with my partner I wanted to have her try this place with me too unfortunately we lost track of time at the aquarium that we didn't had time to sit down and eat but we got it the next day in the way to the airport to drop me off. What I got from here was 2 plates of rice and beans with stew chicken that came with the side of plantains her side had the potato salad while I got the Cole slaw. When you open the container wow the smell of it smell like home and so good! The chicken was tender and the meat was falling off the bone when peeling ! I also got the Salbutes and my oh my that was amazing full of flavor. Next time got to get the village tacos been missing it and the garnachas ! read more

Submitted my order at 1:36pm on a Sunday (per the email notification) 1. Oxtail 1. Stew Beef and a few desserts, $73, once all said and done nearly $100....order was dropped off at 3:59pm (per email notification). I had communication with the Door Dash Driver (DDD) after 2pm ish who discovered the order not ready as expected and would take an additional 45 mins, no issue for me, a Sunday afternoon being busy not a surprise. Then I was told by the DDD that they were advised I cancelled the beef order, I had not, I said IF they had run out that was one thing but no I had not cancelled, the DDD asked if I wanted chicken instead, then suggested I call directly, I did. A woman answered the phone and said my name, that made me feel good. I ok'd chicken as they had run out of the beef. The order arrived, surprised to see two ox tail dinners, one with plantain, I specifically noted NO PLANTAIN, and yet there it was. Luckily plantains aren't on our families allergy list (long list), we just don't enjoy them. Not sure how to feel, the Mac & Cheese is not good, the oxtail I sampled was very tender and the extra gravy I ordered was necessary. Originally on the fence I'm now off and it's a sadly it is no for me. The DDD, ANNISHA, was great, attentive and responsive. I do appreciate the customer service I received when I called, the woman who answered the phone was aware of the issue and attended to the issue. Although the lemon pie is tasty, the coconut tart dry, I feel I wasted $100, total cost including tip. read more

I usually get the eggs with tomatoes & onion with fry jack and a side of panades. If you're not used to Belizean food, just know they make everything from scratch, so there's a bit of a wait, but the food is always so good!!! And they usually play Garifuna/Caribbean music, so I love sitting, dining, and giving to songs. The staff are always so kind too. I've brought some non Belizean friends here too, and they love it as well!! read more

So I had the curry shrimp, with rice and peas on the side. This wasn't my first time here but my first time eating this, this cost close to 30 bucks kinda on the pricey side for the portion. The staff is very friendly th restaurant is clean and gives an island feel. This place is located in downtown Inglewood. The curry shrimp was a bit disappointing it was spicy but no real curry flavor I could taste and the shrimp were small. The rice and peas were dry. I'm actually shocked because other dishes I tried were pretty good. Maybe this time wasn't a good day but I still highly recommend, just not the curry shrimp. read more

Such a delicious restaurant! We received a warm greeting on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm. We decided to sit outside to people watch and enjoy the weather. We started with some rum punch and ordered a few classics. The whole fried red snapper is amazing as well as their sides and appetizers. The potato salad is sooo good with the fish and plantains. We'll be back for sure. read more

Little Belize Restaurant - Bean and Cheese Panades - Caribbean Near Me - Inglewood, California

My parents are from Belize and I grew up eating all the delectable dishes my parents grew up enjoying. Now Caribbeans are very harsh when eating other natives foods, must I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the food. It tastes just like out of my mother and sister's kitchen. The stewed chicken dinner plate, the oxtail mac and cheese, and the breakfast with Belizean style eggs and fry jacks...simply amazing. The dish that always has my heart is the panades. I come back for it again and again. It takes time and patience to perfect these recipes and kudos to the chef, they are spot on. One piece of constructive criticism: please hire another waitress to help Ms. Hortense. She is a sweet and delightful woman with excellent customer service but handling the entire restaurant alone is counterproductive to great customer service. If they can get that together skies will be the limit. I encourage everyone to visit to get an authentic taste and warmth of Belize dishes and give a little grace until they can resolve the staffing issue. read more

horrible customer service at the pickup window. i waited over an hour and a half for an order. the young girl with the thick glasses and blue pelican eyelashes is a liar and extremely disrespectful. after i had already been there for almost an hour she informs me that it will be another 20 minutes (45). she then goes on break and i checked with her "auntie" and she says can you call the customer and ask her if she wants chicken instead of beef. after doing that i had the customer to call the restaurant to inform them of the wait time and to approve the swap with yet another "auntie" that they never checked with ‍. i wokld advise not to take orders that cannot be fulfilled in a timely manner and check the young blue eye lashed pelican before someone does it for you. read more

The best plaintain.. cooked perfectly with a little crunch outside and so so so soft inside. Love their stew chicken and this is some of my favorite rice and peas in the city. I think they have a take out window now as well as inside seating. I have been coming here for years and it still tastes the same, consistently delicious. read more

Food was delicious. Ambiance felt like a home in Belize. Service was good. I would definitely visit again.

You will wait 2 hours for your food or better yet order your food/plantain and then be told, "No more plantain" after waiting one hour and a half. Poor service! You even have to wait for wata! Ridiculous.. read more

I will never not try Belizean food. It brings back fond memories of my trip there many years back, and I love the colorful combination of Latin and Caribbean. For starters, I love starters. Their Sampler Platter is a selection of important classics, including crisp panades filled with fish, garnaches of fried tortillas, and salbutes with a thicker corn base and juicy shredded chicken. There is also a Plantain Boat, which had delicious individual components but I didn't feel like I needed to eat them together. The plantain is sweet and deliciously fried, but the tangy-savory chicken-tomato-onion filling is far better served on a simple tortilla. The Oxtail is a decent entree, doused in a heavy brown gravy. A bit on the salty side for me but it works over rice. The oxtail itself is tender, but it's actually the rice and beans I can't forget. Stewed and spicy, the savory flavors run so deep that it could be a stand-alone dish. Desserts are nice but not a necessity. Milk Cake is a bit dry overall though I do love dulce de leche. Lemon Pie is lovely, love the zest in the custard-y filling. Nothing tastes better than nostalgia, and I like Little Belize for it. Not sure how they compare to all the otherCaribbean restaurants in Inglewood, but I'm looking forward to finding out! read more

The food is fire especially the oxtail and mac, and the stew chicken and chicken tamales is my favorite. When we have our film meetings we order the food here for the team. They love it. I would recommend calling your order in read more

Went as a result of LATRY GUY food review. Ordered to go dish of oxtail mac and cheese with a side of steamed veggies. The amount of oxtail received was much smaller than seen through food review. Why? Price is the same? Opportunity for restaurant to save at customer expense. Mac and cheese was cold. Taste was average. 1 cup of veggies for $6! They were bland, soggy, and mushy. Straight trash. Thank you Little Belize for making sure I never return and tell people about my expensive and negative experience. read more

I've been trying different watering holes. So I'm on an adventure to check out different Caribbean food. Looking for the best Stewed Fish. Unfortunately I didn't feeling like waiting 30 minutes for some fish to cook, so next time I'll call ahead. I decided on a veggie plate instead . The rice and beans are very tasty and the melt in your mouth plantains cooked to perfection. Yum. BUT the potato salad made me roll my eyes to the back of my head...Absolutely delicious. And the sorrel was very good. I'll definitely be back for my fish. read more

This restaurant is a JOKE!! 3 oxtail for $35. And they weren't even the best ive had. The rice and peas were decent. People are charging outrageous prices for oxtail nowadays and it's a shame!
