Dit's Restaurant

Belize City


It doesn't look like much but Dit's is a local favorite and a fine place to get rice-and-beans Belizean standards, sandwiches and Mexican dishes. On special occasions, it even serves up salbutes (a Belizean variation on the tortilla). Especially good are the desserts, coconut and lemon pies, milkshakes and juices.
