better in restaurant, not take-out. here's the thing with this restaurant. we've eaten in therestaurantalready, and food was plentiful, very good & very friendly service. i just didn't care for the atmosphere, so had hubby pick up food. 1. it took me quite a while on the phone to explain my order; as the person who answered didn't seem to understand english very well. food wasn't as good take out, probably understandably, but this seems to be the problem in 99% of authentic mexican restaurants--most just don't have a good understanding of the english language. this would be fine, but when you are trying to run arestaurantand dealing with mostly english speaking people; then it would be nice to be able to place an order with not such a great undertaking. will not be ordering take out at least from them anymore.
