Miraculously went when the line was 6 long. I speak Spanish and no one thought twice about charging me in CUP reserved for locals! I got the salad of 5 flavors and it was icy but quite sweet. The shortbread flavor I enjoyed most. Of...More

I remember going back to the late 90s seeing people line up for ice-cream. By far the most popular govt run food service place. Recently supplanted in quality and choice by a few new private ice-cream parlours. If you want to try but not line...More
