OK, so I know it's been discussed before...but can we get an updated list of San Pedro's best kept food secrets? Here are my picks...


Best Breakfast - Estelle's Breakfast Burritos, Neri's Tacos, George's Kitchen Breakfast Sandwich.

Best Lunch - Monkey Bites, Blue Water Grill, BC's Sunday Ribs

Best Dinner - Casa Picaso, Blue Lotus, Blue Water Grill

Best Pizza - Blue Water Grill, Pirate Pizza

Best Stewed Chicken - George's Kitchen

Best Lounge/Bar - The Playa Lounge, The Palapa Bar, BC's

Best Kept food secret - El Fogon, Neri's Tacos, The Papusa Lady on Middle Street

Best Burger - El Divino (sometimes quantity is quality)


Appreciate your picks as I would hate to miss out on something.

If you are already going to be at the Palapa Bar, the pulled pork sandwich is da bomb.

I've said it before - fish burger at Celi's! Grilled is good, but fried is yum-yum.

Mickey's for fried chicken!

add Sunset Grill, Blue Lotus.

What about a BEST SNACK FOOD list?

Waraguma's burritos and a 2 thumbs up on Casa Picaso

Pedro's for poker,pizza and drinking lots!

Portofino for dinner.

Manuel's Tropical Cafe, across from Tropic Air terminal for breakfast or lunch take out.

Hakal Kik(sp) bakery for snacks.

Rojo Lounge.

Cocktails on the beach at Mata Chica and Journey's End.

A swim and a beer at Coco Locos.

Caliente's for the Maya Mar fish.

A chili dog or Mayan taco at Beach'n Kitchen.

A day trip to Caye Caulker for some cold ones and a swim at the Lazy Lizard at the cut.

And for goodness sakes, don't forget a cup of coffe and a slice of key lime pie from the Blue Water Grill!

FAVORITE BREAKFAST - Huevos Rancheros and Fry Jacks at Lily's

FAVORITE LUNCH - Sopa de Lima at Caliente; Shrimp Ceviche from the locals; and Blue Water Grill's Fish n Chips and Pork Dumplings

FAVORITE DINNER - The Islander at El Patio; Tomato/Mozarella Salad with Basil and Asparagus and Basil Risotto at Pinki Knox - a couple of our group had the Thai Green Curry and found it to be too hot, but still quite tasty

We also had some nice dishes at Fido's: Coco Loco Shrimp and Coco Loco Chicken were both very good, as was the shrimp and conch ceviche and the fish n chips. One of our group had an excellent fish dish, but I cannot recall the name (sorry!). Great pizza from Pirate Pizza...the Supreme was especially nice! BC's BBQ chicken dinner on Sunday was good, too. We also had some very nice tapas and drinks at La Playa Lounge...and it is such a comfortable and welcoming place!

I have to admit that I did not have a bad meal in San Pedro the whole week (May 10 - 17); or for that matter, in any of our 6 visits, although some meals did stand out more than others.

Add Wild Mangos for Lunch/Dinner

French bakery for bread and snacks

Seconded on Lily's fry jacks, Caliente's lime soup and anything at Mangos!
