LA’s Only Garifuna Food Truck | Street Food Icons

Winston Miranda is the chef behind Saraba, the only Garifuna food truck in Los Angeles, and one of the only Garifuna restaurants in all of the US. Winston’s passion and pride lies in the cuisine of the Garifuna people, the descendants of Africans and Arawaks originally from the Caribbean island of St. Vincent. The Garifunas were exiled to the Honduran coast in the eighteenth century and many later settled in Belize. Winston serves curried chicken, oxtail, fried fish, hudut, plantains and more. A former pro soccer player, Winston devoted his later years to the culinary arts and hopes that his daughter will one day have the same passion he has for making Garifuna food.

So weird I did a school report on British Honduras also known as Belize. I've never been but apparently it's Paradise. That food looks so good as I lay in my bed and think why is this guy's truck not down the street from my house

I loved the Garifuna food and drumming in Hopkins, Belize when I visited there. Glad that those amazing traditions are carrying on in LA!

I love Belizean food. In Brooklyn on Sundays they have a food rally where they have bomb food. I used to go get fresh panedas. She’d make them right there. It was sooo good 💛

[itotiani]

I need to go! never had Garifuna food before, that fried fish in coconut gravy looks bomb

[DarrellChapman]

Love me some Belizean onion sauce, Marie Sharps, Belikin, and some stewed chicken with stewed beans and rice. Some fry jacks for breakfast with beans. I lived in Belize for five years and try and go back any time I can. Placencia is my hub now. Can’t wait to get back.
