This is a great local find. Prices are fantastic and the food was amazing. Rice and beans are a treat as others have mentioned. We loved the wings and fajitas. The lime drink was so yummy. The portions are enough for two. The service was quick. Staff was friendly. Dinner for 6 was 80$US. This place is the Diners Drive in and Dives of San Ignacio.

Our beautiful and cozy little restaurant overlooks the main center of San Ignacio town. We offer local (traditional and contemporary Belizean) cuisines. We are the only restaurant in San Ignacio that offers a full local menu.

Maybe other reviews set expectations too high. The space was on the second floor. There was no air flow and it was quite warm. As for the food, we were underwhelmed. There was no Ivy (mentioned in other reviews) when we visited. Two nice young men were running the place. The food just wasnât that good this night. I had the jerk chicken burrito which just wasnât quite right. My son had a similar experience with his fish tacos which lacked flavor. This is unfortunate but perhaps it was an off night. Weâve had good meals in San Ignacio and there is no lack of food in this area. We were disappointed to have wasted an opportunity to eat well this night.I am sorry you had a bad experience at our restaurant. The cooks that are there were trained by myself, Ivy and using my recipes. I am on maternity leave at the moment but will be back next week, the 1st week of June.I will be back soon with more of my flavorful traditional menus. Thank you for sharing your helpful feedback and I hope that you would give Authentic Flavors a second try if you return to San Ignacio.Regards,Ivy

Initially seen advertised on social media, good photos. Place is quite small.Visited for lunch, the menu is not that extensive and nothing really that stands out.Party of 4 that had burgers and shrimp.Food took 35 mins to be served, nothing spectacular so may be good for an outing out of the norm but nothing a place you would routinely keep going back to.
