Experience Through Their Eyes

WOW 5 stars We ordered: - the oxtail plate with potato salad and mixed rice and beans served with plantain - the fried fish plate with cabbage salad and mixed rice and beans served with plantain Everything was FRESH! FRESH! FRESH! Rarely do you visit a place and enjoy everything, sides included! Everything was so flavorful and well seasoned and their pepper sauce/ hot sauce was freshly made and had my bf sweating in the best way! The cabbage salad was crunchy and perfectly refreshing while eating the fried fish it paired so well. The potato salad could be sold by the bucket! The service was top notch and we dined in, BUT I will say that this is clearly a small spot that is family ran and we could definitely see our server running around to bus tables, serve our food, and be cashier to any walk-ins. That being the case, my only issue was that it took a while for us to pay. My bf had to stand in line after we finished our food just to pay! Lol Also the parking is tight so you've been warned. Overall: The food here is amazing and the service is great, just be ready to hang out a bit if you dine in bc you'll soon find out why there is always a party line of customers ready to get a taste of Belize at Tracey's.
