San Pedro’s legendary barefoot beachfront dining since 1990. Serving world-famous Maya eggs, fluffy fry jacks, fresh snapper ceviche, and our smoking Kansas City BBQ right on the sand.
Slow-smoked right on the beach sand starting before sunrise. Fall-off-the-bone St. Louis ribs, slow barked Texas-KC brisket, and savory Jamaican jerk pork basted with Estel’s secret molasses Caribbean pepper glaze. Served hot from 7:00 AM until the pit sells clean out.
Cooked to order with recipes honed over three decades right here on Barrier Reef Drive.
Soft scrambled eggs smothered in house-cooked Belizean refried black beans, melted imported Dutch Edam cheese, paired with two colossal golden, pillowy fried jacks.
Wild-caught off the reef that morning. Cured in fresh-squeezed key lime juice, tossed with crisp sweet onion, diced habanero, garden cilantro, and hot crunchy tortilla chips.
Smoked for 6 hours over seasoned local hardwood, basted with Pitmaster Charles’ signature sweet-savory molasses sauce. Served with Creole slaw and island potato salad.
House-baked thick sweet bread soaked in vanilla-egg batter, crusty toasted coconut flake crunch, topped with local bananas sautéed in One Barrel Belizean rum caramel.
“Kick off your shoes, bury your toes in the sand, and let the ocean take care of the rest.”
Every year, top pitmasters from across Belize and North America gather on Estel’s beachfront to compete for the island BBQ crown. Live reggae, celebrity judges, and unlimited tasting plates for charity!
