The food is delicious and the portions are huge. The outdoor environment is also very warm. We found bugs in the dish but the waiter promptly apologized and paid for a dozen juices. I'm glad the waiter took care of our problem in a timely manner, but I wish your store had cleaned the ingredients more thoroughly.
