Chicago, IL - Garifuna Flava: A Taste of Belize, a cornerstone of Chicago’s Caribbean dining scene, is thrilled to announce its grand reopening to the public. Located in the heart of Chicago Lawn at 2518 W. 63rd St., the family-owned restaurant returns from a brief hiatus, ready to once again serve the city its award-winning, authentic Belizean and Caribbean cuisine.
Renowned for what food critics and locals alike call the “best jerk chicken in Chicago,” Garifuna Flava’s menu is a vibrant celebration of Garifuna culture. Their signature jerk chicken and jerk wings are marinated for over 24 hours in a fiery blend of habanero peppers, allspice, and traditional herbs, then grilled to smoky perfection. The menu extends far beyond this classic, featuring fall-off-the-bone oxtails, crispy Conch Fritters, savory seafood-stuffed Panades, and sweet fried plantains. They also feature favorites such as Belizean Stew Chicken, Chicken Tamales, Hudut Baruru Falulou (Serre), Conch Soup and Coconut Tarts! Each dish is prepared from generations-old family recipes, offering a genuine taste of Belize.
Understanding the evolving needs of Chicago diners, Garifuna Flava has significantly expanded its service offerings. The restaurant now provides comprehensive Caribbean catering solutions for all events, from intimate family gatherings to large-scale corporate catering. Businesses across the city can now bring the vibrant flavors of Belize to office lunches, client meetings, and company events, with customizable packages designed to impress and satisfy any team.
