      Many of the Latin markets in Napa Valley also have a food-to-go counter, and I’m so grateful they do. Vallarta Market is known for its reasonably priced, large selection of freshly prepared take-away Mexican food, with burritos for about six bucks and tacos for under two bucks.

      This decision will affect most business at food-to-go shops and people who make [food for] consignment, because the driving time for consignment alone takes up much of the four hours allowed for sale.
