EVA's The Best Restaurant in San Ignacio Again

Eva's und new management is now delivering the goods at last. With the focus on cleanliness, food and service it literally as undergone a transformation which has to be seen to be believed. Full Breakfasts including Drinks at $2.50US literally blew our mind recently. As they say there, with a top Chef now at the helm you can see why it is now the busiest place in town

Erva's gets my vote for the best restaurant in San Ignacio, though most people seem stuck on Hannah's. Erva's gets less attention because it's 2.5 blocks from the center of town, as opposed to right in the center.

Please take note that this is ERva's Restaurant, not Eva's!

Erva's claims to have the best pizza in Belize, and we believe them! A huge pie with lots of home-grown vegetable toppings is around $9 and will feed four if you get an appetizer.

The waiter will usually tell you what's fresh, but if he doesn't, ask him. They'll usually feature something they just got in, like conch fritters and conch chowder or fresh red snapper. If you are lucky enough to visit when they're serving conch fritters, you absolutely MUST order them. They're the best I've ever had, by FAR, and I'm a connoisseur!

Erva's has a stupendous breakfast, with the best fry jacks I had in Belize. Fry Jacks are little fried pillows of dough, like a Mexican sopaipilla. They usually eat them with the eggs and black beans that are served, but I normally ask for a little honey and my fry jacks last. I get funny looks, but BOY is it heavenly.

Breakfast costs around $3 and is served with fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, black beans, plantains, fresh squeezed juice, and real brewed coffee, something hard to find in San Ignacio!

I ate five meals in a row at Erva's once I finally discovered it and will quite likely eat there for every meal again when I get back to San Ignacio.

Eva's should be relied upon more as a source of information and a reference point than a restaurant. While the food is good, the menu is extensive, and the prices are moderate, you'll get much better food and service at other restaurants in town.

Nevertheless, should you choose to eat here, you can have burgers (around $3), pizza ($8), fresh fish ($6), Mexican ($4), and traditional Belizean chicken, black beans, and rice ($3).

Eva's is centrally located on the main drag in San Ignacio and is the headquarters for Pacz Tours, which we recommend over the giant Mayawalk Tours right across the street. Pacz is cheaper, the guides are better, and they've been doing it longer.

Colorful Eva's is the spot for information about tours of the area. The walls are covered with artwork and pictures of local lodging and attractions. A guidebook warns of the "surly service," and it's not a lie, but just take it with a smile. The owner, Bob, did warm up after a bit of chatting, and he is full of valuable tips.

After a simple and cheap sandwich on the patio, I decided to use the internet. With time to spare after checking my email, I was curious what information was available on IgoUgo about San Ignacio. Bob appeared over my shoulder and smugly asked why I was using the Internet when he could answer all my questions. I told him about this site and proceeded to pull up the review of Eva's. He seemed unimpressed but curious that someone had written about his restaurant on the Internet. Once you get him comfortable and talking, you'll find him to be an informative and interesting character, so belly up to the bar with a local rum drink and decide the next day's adventure.

This is the social center of the town. You can eat, talk, or mingle with other travelers. Staff are friendly and will give you information even if you don't book their tours. Food is cheap and tasty. Many daily specials and a la carte items. Extremely casual tables and benches. Come right off the bus and have a cold drink when you first arrive.
