What People are Saying

“A Great Find”
“Great upstairs place looking over the street and town center. Full flavoured food supported by welcoming service. Ms Ivy is amazing and very sweet. She is very knowledgeable about coastal cuisine and the food she serves looks great and tastes better. I don’t give 5 stars very often but this place deserves it. Probably the best food we had in San Ignacio!.“

“Excellent Darasa & Conch Soup”
“Living in San Ignacio one gets to know the best local food. You cant beat going to Authentic Flavor owned and run by Miss Ivy. Just top quality food served fresh and made to order. Great location too..on a second floor but open air and relaxing atmosphere with interesting Garifuna decorations and of course traditional healthy fresh Garifuna food. Always a great meal “
