Pop's Restaurant — Restaurant in San Ignacio & Santa Elena

Somewhat underwhelming. The waitress was good, but the gaggle of people milling around nearby that are somehow related to management gave the place an unprofessional air. I ordered the daily whiteboard special: pig tail, white rice and beans. It met that description, and was ok; however, I suspect that i could have ordered a similar dish elsewhere for a fraction of the price. The soursop juice - one of my favourites - wasn't great.

This is one for the breakfast lovers of the world with all day serving of breakfast. Medium sized location on a somewhat busy street in San Ignacio. Inside atmosphere is nothing to brag about but the food makes up for that. Breakfast food is on point. I tried salsa on eggs with flour tortilla on the bottom along with sausage.
