Tracey's Belizean Restaurant - Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I had heard great things about this spot, but wasn't sure what to expect since it's a bit off the beaten path for me. Upon entering, the staff greeted me warmly and made me feel right at home. I was asked if I wanted to take my food to go or eat in, and I chose to eat inside, although most customers seem to order takeout. This restaurant is a labor of love; you can tell they pour their heart and soul into the dishes. I asked about popular items and was told both the chicken and ox tail were well-loved, with a personal preference for the chicken. I decided to try the ox tail, as it's not something I usually order. The Ox Tail Plate ($26) features five tender pieces of oxtail, served with rice and beans, potato salad, and plantains. The small side of potato salad was even better than I expected; it has a sweet flavor with bell peppers for a nice crunch, and it was one of the best I've ever had. The plantains were also nicely moist. Overall, it was a very satisfying lunch. I would definitely order the oxtail again, but I'm also curious to try the chicken plate next time. This is one of those places that if you know, you know. The owner mentioned they've been around since 1983 and don't advertise or use social media. It's all word-of-mouth, and you can tell they don't need it because business is thriving. I initially anticipated paying between $20-$23, so I was surprised to see the final price was $28. While it's on the pricier side, the cost includes tax, and there's no expectation of tipping, as there's no option on the payment tablet. It's still a bit expensive, but I understand labor costs are likely factored in. I truly believe you get what you pay for, and sometimes paying a bit more means better quality. This isn't an everyday splurge, but it's absolutely worth it as a treat! You absolutely have to try this place! You won't be disappointed. We're lucky to live in a city with such great options, but where else can you get authentic, home-cooked Belizean comfort food? Come here for the taste of Belize! read more

Powder bun had the consistency of a Popeyes biscuit dry and tasteless. You will need some water to wash it down that is for sure. Customer service could use improvement walked in to order food and it was a whole ruckus going on in the kitchen. Very embarrassing for people and our community.. read more

Tracey's Belizean Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This restaurant has the best Jamaican food in Lo Angeles. Large portions and seasoned to perfection.

This is a hidden gem. The man who took our order said they've been there for years but this was my first time trying it. The service was great, good music, good vibes overall. The food was filling. I believe it was $19 for the plate we got. My friend and I shared it and couldn't finish it so you know you're getting your moneys worth for the portion size. Great sides, good chicken, and the bread with jam was also good. They even gave us two items on the side to try on the house but I can't remember the names of the items. I'd 100% return. It's a local spot and deserves more attention. read more

I come here almost every week because my parents can't get enough of the oxtail. The portions go crazy and the price can't be beat. Everyone is always so nice and friendly and it gives it a family feel. The only reason I knocked off one star is because once I got the chicken and it made me violently sick. So I won't do that again. Stick to the oxtail or beef and thank me later! read more

This place is oh so good Belizean food, and some of the best Caribbean food in LA! The rice and peas are so flavorful, and the potato salad is a nice side. The brown stew chicken and oxtails are my favorites here. There is plenty of seating but most people take the food to go. There is a little wait to get the food so I'd recommend calling ahead! read more

Everything was amazing! My first time trying this type of food, its right up there with my fave now (Jamaican). That homemade (i believe) hotsauce is soooooo good. Not your typical hotsauce, its got a hint of maybe, mango? I dont like sweet/hot sauce but this was done beautifully as the hear was still the star of rhe show. Do they sell this btw? I neednit at home will definitely be back next time im in long beach read more

Love this location very friendly and welcoming environment family owned business I love the oxtail meal but everything they serve is amazing can't go wrong with anything very clean and fast service for fresh food and fresh ingredients can't forget to grab yourself the habanero pepper sauce read more

Awesome food and fast service! On the job I only get 30 minutes for lunch and when they seen me in uniform they made sure to get me in and out very quickly which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Pretty good overall. Just so much rice and beans. Wish it was a bit more oxtail meat. The meat was very fatty. The potato salad was pretty good. The price was about $16 which is cheaper compared to other restaurants that sell oxtail. Kind and personal service. Small restaurant and seating available but most people just took their food to go. Very simple establishment. read more

Tracey's Belizean Restaurant - Oxtail meal - Caribbean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Today my family and I went to Tracey's to have authentic Belizean food. We ordered their oxtail plate and two stew chicken plates. The oxtails were cooked perfectly, very tender. The rice & beans, where do I start, amazing. I'm a big fan and a little picky about whose rice and beans I eat, and theirs was delicious! Definitely going back! Thank you for a memorable experience! read more

Food was already done made fresh beef was a bit dry but besides that I loved it! I def will be coming back for more i didn't realize it was so cheap as well definitely recommend read more

Great ox tails and entrees. Great and courteous service. The cashier was manerable and made sure my order was correct

I should've written this sooner. I had Tracey's for the first time about two months ago and it was very delicious. I had the stewed chicken with the rice and peas and potato salad. Now, Joan and Sisters is right down the street so let me say how they compare. Chicken itself, I will give to Joan and Sisters. Peas and rice and potato salad goes to Tracey's. Tracey's has far nicer customer service. Staff is friendly and they treat you like you like a long lost friends...but they don't take phone orders. Bummer. Joan and Sisters does take phone orders BUT your order still may not be ready when you get there even if you walk in at the estimated time. Joan and Sisters is far more generous with the onion sauce which takes the meal over the top. Tracey's was quite stingy with it. I ordered four meals and they gave me ONE SINGLE FOIL PACKET of the onion. Parking sucks at both locations! read more

Tracey's Belizean Restaurant - Stewed Chicken (white meat) - Caribbean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am a first time customer who drove from Long Beach because the restaurant was HIGHLY recommended by a Belizan woman who works in Long Beach but lives in L.A. and is a regular customer. I have had Belizan friends for over 30 years; consequently, I am very familiar with food they cooked and with restaurants currently in business as well as some now closed. In sum, the food is delicious, portions are large, prices are reasonable and the person who took order was friendly. The drive was approximately 30 minutes, parking was not convenient and the restrooms were being repaired. The tasty food, reasonable prices and pleasant employee made the inconveniences minor. I will return and will HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to family and friends in L.A. and surrounding areas. read more

Today was our first time visiting this restaurant. Upon entering we were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. The setting is nice and clean. I had oxtails, rice and beans, plantains, and potato salad. My partner had stewed beef (along with the same items I had) but he had the cabbage instead of potato salad. We both enjoyed our meals. Everything was delicious! I also purchased a dessert which I forgot the name, however, it resembles an oversized cookie, but its texture is similar to a dense cake. Perfectly sweetened and spiced. We will definitely be back. read more

Small menu and almost everything is on point. Delicious Belizean food. I drive from Hastings ranch in pasadena to get their food. Well worth the drive. My go-to is their oxtail but their chicken hits the spot also. I love their extremely friendly service and almost always take selfies with them. Great food, great service, what else do you need? I've been a regular for the past 5 years and will keep coming back. Thank you! read more

It was my first time visiting this place, and I must say, the food was delicious and the service was excellent and prompt.

Sadness no pictures, ( the food barely survived the walk home). This is my second time going to Tracey's and their chicken wings breakfast is so delicious. I don't know what the bread that comes with it is called but it's so good to dip with the red beans. read more

Friendly, authentic and a flavorful meal. We ordered 2 oxtail platters and 2 stew chicken platters. The potato salad is delicious!! Definitely my favorite item! I wish the plantains were cooked a bit more. They offer beer, sodas, and an assortment of Caribbean drinks! The gentlemen who were working were very friendly, patient and really made our visit a good experience. My husband's grandmother said this was one of her favorite places for authentic Belizean cuisine, as she is from Belize. The food had no spice which is nice for those that don't crave it, I do wish I had a little kick to my stew chicken. read more

When I stated in my last review that I was going to return the next day. I did!! My hubby is Belizean so I decided to bring him. Turns out he knew the family of those working there. Pharaoh and Mike are the brothers that offer customers that awesome service. Tracy and Rocks are the ones that deliver the taste!!! Food is addicting. I love the fact that an ATM is provided inside although they accept credit card and debit forms of payment. One review stated that it can get hot inside but they have a gigantic fan inside that can keep you cool. They keep it smelling good on the inside as usual. read more

Tracey's is on Western just south of Exposition is a nondescript joint with a knack for creating delicious Belizean cuisine. Everyone is really friendly and eager to explain the food here. Unfortunately, the dining room isn't open yet, and the aromas on the drive home make you want to pull over and dive in. Stew Chicken: The dark meat chicken is slowly cooked in a brown stew of spices, including annatto seed, allspice, cinnamon, and clove. The spices provide a deep peppery flavor. A Creole meal isn't complete without beans, rice, and potato salad. The stew beans are cooked until the big red kidney beans have an almost mashed consistency and are a bit peppery. The white rice is a bit al dente, which is a nice textural contrast to the soft beans. The potato salad is packed with flavor consisting of baby potatoes, carrots, vinegar, mayo, and black pepper. There are also a couple of plantains. The extra stew gravy overflows into the beans and rice, boosting flavor wherever it flows. Parking: You need to turn off the main streets and park in the neighborhood. Dining Area: The tables are currently closed off, but I was told that they may reopen this weekend. read more

Tracey's Belizean Restaurant - Stewed chicken with rice and beans - Caribbean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

i love this place. i've been going here for the past 11 years and the food is always on point.

The food here was absolutely amazing! I heard about it through one of the Youtubers, he went to a different location first and found out he went to the wrong place. The crazy thing is I pass by Tracy's all the time and I wanted to go in just had never gone. I was happy and pleasantly surprised the food is delicious. read more

Great food; very professional staff that truly care about the wonderful food they serve to their customers. It's always a pleasure to eat at this wonderful establishment, their food is the best Belizean food in Los Angeles. read more

Absolutely love this place I've been coming here for the longest and always grab the chicken stew play and their potato salad is honestly the best and I make sure I grab extra every time read more

The liver breakfast is good, and the empanadas is fire! Family business that has been there for years!

I'm Belizean and I don't have a bunch of options in the city. Customer servicer is whack but the food is good.

Ox tails. Stew chicken. Tracey's is a winner. I'm not Belizean, but when I've got that slightly sweet potato salad on my fork... who's to say? I get stew beans and rice. With the plantains, dinner is always perfectly scrumptious. The sauce on the chicken is crazy. What is that? There's never enough of it. Can't ever be. Go to Tracey's. Bless your life. I'm not Belizean, so I order simple. The menu has a lot of back/home goodies. Go there early... they may run out of favorites. But if you get lucky.,, you're effing lucky. Trust me, it's awesome. read more

Tracey's Belizean Restaurant - Gave me bones for my stewed chicken plate, nothing special here....everything taste like warmed up food - Caribbean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The last time I had Belizean food was in Belize 5 years ago - so I've been trying to find a restaurant with a similar flavor since. My friend and I decided to give this place a try and what a wonderful surprise! We got the stewed oxtail and beef. Oxtail was perfect, so tender and flavorful. I think the beef was a bit rougher for my liking but flavors were still good. I will say this place has one of the BEST potato salads on the market. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I'd recommend taking to-go, as it can get a bit hot/stuffy if you're eating in store during the warmer months. Will definitely be back! Oxtail Plate Stew Beef (Update: I've had a few similar spots, and I wanted to update my review to 5 stars, this place is definitely my top spot for oxtail!!) read more
