Tu Lan is a sit-down or take-out restaurant. actually the insides of the place are tiny though there are two levels for dining, it gets hot inside and the food is to die for. seriously inexpensive. i had the #24 (forget what it was but it had beef in it) and i tried my friend's selections that night, everything was good.
but the saigon sandwich is take-out only.

Taqueria Los Gallos
Address:
35232 Newark Boulevard
Newark, CA 94560
Dishes:
Mexican Food
Price Range: $2.50 and up. The Super Burritos are $5 and really great there and they're of course super huge.
The girls that go there aren't too bad. On a good day, not only do you have a big plate of food in front of you, but a nice variety of women in the joint

Dish(es): Mexican
Price Range: $10 - $15
Best darn super burritos I've ever tasted.
AND, I also have to add a second vote to Le Cheval in Oakland. I've never experienced any bad service with them. Their take-out orders are of very nice and generous proportions. I like their cube steak combination. I don't remember what it's called exactly, but it's some good eats.
