There is a market downtown with lots of cart food. The only restaurant we found was Pizza Hut. The pizza was the worst we've had. Theres a restaurant called *Lucky*. It was the only time in a 6 months stay that we were disrespected by the locals. The food was also horrible and the owners were very rude.
