One of Livingston's better-known restaurants, Buga Mama serves Garífuna cooking in a simple open-air setting near the waterfront. The tapado is reliable, the fried fish is fresh, and the portions are generous by any standard. A straightforward choice for a first meal in Livingston if you've just arrived by lancha and need to eat immediately.
The waterfront location makes for good people-watching as the boats come and go. Like most restaurants in Livingston, it's informal — no reservations, cash only, limited menu.
