Best New Restaurant:   Eva's  Eva's has moved!!! Maybe because that first 100 feet of Burns avenue has totally gone downhill. Bob and Netty, San Ignacio's dynamic duo, are at it again.

They are on Far West street, near Martha's Hotel.

Best Sri Lankan:   Serindib  Serendib might be the only Sri Lankan, but it's still wonderful food with a nice, aestetic patio out back. Abner, your waiter, qualifies as best waiter, by far, in Cayo.

Best Fast Food:   Mencho's  A little hole in the wall. Look for the benches and signs for fruit juices and tacos across the street from Cafe Cayo. You should try at least 2 juices(only $1 each), and a meal in a basket. Great for hangovers too. Located on Burns avenue.
