Unfortunately I couldn't finish it, but it > made a great second meal. I've eaten at the restaurant once and had their food via Wheel Deliver once. I haven't been impressed. At the restaurant, I had the chicken mole. The mole sauce had too little spice and chocolate, too much sugar, as though it were ketchup with some cocoa added. My friend's camarones al diablo were pretty good, but I wouldn't rush back to order it again (and I *have* rushed back to order this dish elsewhere). The appetizer we had, some sort of nachos in a tortilla "bowl" (sorry, I forget the name), didn't have much flavor, and the fillings were kinda watery -- maybe the lettuce was added too soon after washing? The take-out fajitas had pieces of meat and limp, overcooked strips of pepper, swimming in a very oily tomato sauce. I'll give this dish the benefit of the doubt, though. Being shipped across town in a carton is a handicap. The one thing I've had from Mago Latino that I really liked was the flan. Not quite the usual consistency, but close enough and quite tasty. Sorry to be harsh, but I've given the place a couple tries and been consistently disappointed. Ari
