Got the jerk chicken with cabbage. The chicken had great flavor and was tender. It was juuuust a tad dry, otherwise this would have been 5 stars. The cabbage was amazing. The employee was prompt and kind.

I got the chicken stew and it was great. The chicken was hot and very tender and the flavor of the potato salad was fresh. I will definitely be returning.

I usually get the jerk chicken with the steamed cabbage side. Full of flavor. The sweet fried plantains finish off the dish well. Since one spends almost $17 (before tip) for just the meal… no dessert or drink, I make two meals out of my order, even though it’s so good I could stuff myself in one sitting with the whole thing. There’s a little container of dark sauce included… put that on the generous portion of beans and rice… it is so-oo good! They also include a small container of a spicy, pickled minced onion… that’s yum, too! Recently, I splurged and got the oxtail dish. That is also very good, but at $22 a pop I’ll only get it once in a while. My only issue with the oxtail is that four “bones” for $22 seems a bit stingy. Six bones would be better, then I can get 2 meals for my money. Great place for take out. “Dine in” means four stools at a counter by a window… no wait staff… tiny customer waiting and eating area. Still, I love the food, staff are friendly. Wait time is usually less than 15 minutes, especially if you order early, like between 4:30-5 PM. BTW: don’t go into the slots place 2 doors down… it’s got a “criminal”, unsavory vibe, and you have to be let in by security… plus, there was a security guy standing around weilding a night-stick along with equally questionable clientele…. too bad the restaurant is right there next to this.

First time purchaser, lifetime customer. I cook extremely well but when I’m not up to it I appreciate a business that loves what they do. I knew just by the AAA customer service of the person answering the phone that I had found such a place. Although my order had been slightly altered and I wound up getting potato salad instead of steamed cabbage ‍♂️

I don’t know why i keep going back but everything i go they end up disappointing me. Just went in today for a jerk chicken meal and extra side of potato salad.. potato salad was very very rancid. Literally as i opened it you could smell the bad in the potato salad..

Wonderful food from Belize! Easily the Best fried chicken in Waukegan that I have found, and the Belizean rice and beans is so delicious! Call ahead, each order is handmade and takes a while, so be prepared to wait! The portions are large and generous and very reasonably priced. This is a carry out the place, little to no seating area to eat. Very friendly service. Been coming here for 3 year since they opened, and I always have received good food!

Absolutely delicious! The panades with the habanero sause, the salbutes(can get soggy if you wait to eat it), the curry goat(bones are to be expected), and the oxtail with coconut rice and beans, potato salad and plantains(were sweet) was all very amazing.

Beware, what is advertised might not be what you are served. Purchased a dozen (12) of their meat pies. Got home and realized each pie had about a quarter tea spoon of meat and the rest of the filling was air. Total ripoff! Laughable that filling of an advertised meat pie is 3% meat, 97% air. Called restaurant just to make sure they were aware. They told me that this is how they make their pies. No shame in their bait and switch game. It should be called air pie or baked dough!
