First time to Elvira's, it won't be my last. Setting is nice, service very personable, perfectly coordinated with the appetizers we ordered. The star of the show is definitely the food! I enjoy two things about a representative restaurant - typical presentation of their cuisine, and a local base to spread the love for that cuisine. Elvira's gives both in fine style.
We had panapes and salbutes as appetizers, served hot and very tasty. Then the stewed chicken and stewed pork chop dinners. We were HAPPY! The rice and beans on the side would have made a meal, the potato salad a perfect change-up for the rich flavors. Both entrees suited our taste completely!
We live about 1/2 hour away and we will make the trip often! We will make a return trip to Belize some time but this local experience is so good, I just hope the native cuisine will match that we found at Elvira's!
