We were told not to go into town because it's not worth it, but we made the trip anyway and found that the advice given should have been followed!
We ate in town twice, at two different little places, and the menus were pretty much the same--fried stuff and more fried stuff. Everything was slathered in warm mayo or cheese, and for those who try to eat healthy, there is NO chance of that in the city. Your best bet is to stay at the lodge or at Manele.
