TAKEOUT: My Thai Newcomers aren’t surprised that Amarillo has so many great barbecue or Mexican food joints. But they may be surprised at the proliferation of fantastic Thai restaurants in the city. Many of those restaurateurs began their careers in the kitchen at My Thai, which is one of Amarillo’s oldest and most beloved Thai establishments. That proud, influential heritage – along with its fast, quality food – earns My Thai top billing as our voters’ favorite place for takeout. 2029 Coulter St., 355.9541, mythaiamarillo.com Favorites: Rosa’s Café & Tortilla Factory 4312 SW 45th Ave., 351.1194 3820 I-40 West, 352.8227 6207 Soncy Road, 803.9145 rosascafe.com Blue Sky 4201 I-40 West, 355.8100 5060 S.
