The food is outstanding, and I look forward to dining at Bow’s on future trips to Houston. The entire staff was pleasant, warm, and professional. The large serving of red beans and rice, ox tails, fried plantains, and a garden salad were… am still licking my fingers. Yeah, they’re giving mom a run for her money. Oh, I think they may be growing sour sop trees because the juice did not taste like that canned stuff.

I found this place on Google after watching a food show about the food from Belize. My wife and I went today and it was AWESOME! We started with a meat pie, then Salvutes, and last split the oxtail. All tasted so original and delicious! Service was great and the owner came and talked with us about the food and Belize. The place was super clean. We.cant wait to go back!

Absolutely amazing, down to the last fishbone. Excellent service, excellent food, timely and attentive. This restaurant is more than a restaurant, its a community spread out all over the States and the owners even reach out to help communities in Belize by means of donating proceeds! All the food was delicious!!! You can’t go wrong with anything, including the desserts!

This food was soooooo damn good! Whew chile, first of all the Red Snapper was snapped, the plantain was planted, the flavors were so on point and you can tell everything was made from scratch with love. The seasonings and the flavors paired so well. I literally just finished eating my plate 1 minute and 43 seconds ago. The service was amazing! What a blessing
