Ko-Ox Han-Nah

Ko-Ox Han-Nah Review

Formerly called Hannah's (the new name in the Mayan language means, roughly, "Let's go eat"), by whatever name this is one of San Ignacio's most popular restaurants, and deservedly so. It's far from fancy—you eat on simple tables in what is essentially a large shed on busy Burns Avenue—but service is cheerful, and the food is inexpensive and well-prepared. Dinner entrees range from BZ$6 to BZ$25. Much of the food is raised on the farm of the Zimbabwean-born owner. In addition to the usual Belizean beans-and-rice dishes, Ko-Ox Han-Nah serves fusion food influenced by Mexican, Southeast Asian, and North and South Indian cooking, with salads, sandwiches, burritos, Burmese dishes, Cambodian and Korean chicken dishes, and Indian lamb curries. Across the street the owner has opened a butcher shop that also has sandwiches.
