I liked the commitment of the owners with the environment not serving conchs or lobsters, and the service was extremely polite and nice. The local was a classic Caribbean wood porch/terrace with open kitchen facing the beach, decorated with old buoys hanging from the ceiling. We had mac & cheese with jalapeños and shrimps and the beef tenderloin. The mac & cheese we nothing extraordinary but really expensive, when we added the shrimps we had no idea how much those 4 pieces will increment the cost. The tenderloin was too much done, I had asked for rare done (more into less done if possible) but got it still into the medium-well done spectrum which seems to be a pattern in restaurants oriented to tourists. I did not asked for another piece as I wanted to dine at the same time as my family, so I still eat it. Meat was good, just a pity the cook did not take into consideration my request. Overall experience was good but we paid for 2x Mac&cheese and 1 tenderloin + 2 mojitos, 1 coke, 1 water the equivalent to 86 USD, tip not included, which I found too pricey for what we had (added pics of plates for reference). The best the service and the restaurant culture as mentioned in...
Read moreWe went to Wild Mango’s after hearing such great things about it and it didn’t disappoint. We started with piña coladas, which weren’t the strongest, but pretty good. We liked that they weren’t too sweet.
We had the coconut Thai ceviche next. We’d never tried ceviche but it didn’t disappoint. My wife said it was “an explosion of flavor” and she was right.
We split the masa tots, southwest egg rolls, and coco loco shrimp. All were good with flavors all over the board. We’d order everything but the masa again. We liked it, but it’s just not something we’d get again.
Then we split apple empanadas and the key lime cold cake. We’d get both again. The empanadas were so warm and fresh with just the right amount of cinnamon. The key lime cold cake didn’t have that typical overpowering lime taste, which we loved. It was mild and fluffy.
Overall, it was a good place. A little pricey because it’s on the beach and...

Found this restaurant by accident while booking our mainland excursion with Serious Adventures (they were great), as they are right next to each other. Know that I am a world traveler, and SUPER picky about food, service, facilities; so when I say that this place is SPECIAL, that's exactly what I mean! And yes, we returned two more times!
Chef Amy's kitchen prepares and serves gourmet quality food, in a charming ocean side location, and honestly we never found anywhere else that came close in 8 days on Ambergris around San Pedro. Upon returning we were greeted with smiles and recognition. Service was great, and everything was clean. Fresh and delicious! I can highly recommend this restaurant, and in particular the pork tenderloin... OMG... So good!!!
Thanks Chef Amy and staff!!! A highlight of...
