If you bring your own container(s) you can control the situation.
I carry a canvas shopping bag instead of a purse, even when I go out to dinner....I have some nice ones for 'evening wear' 😃 A small New Yorker-branded bag and also a fashionable Smithsonian Museum member bag in black and a touch of lime green (it even has an outside pocket for my phone).
I carry 2 plastic containers, one is a split container allowing 2 different food items that won't touch each other (wish I could find another one here).
Granted I live in a village in central Mexico but we eat out 5 to 7 times a week and bringing a container that I can fill, carry home and then simply refrigerate is far better than the restaurants' to-go boxes whose lids or covers often don't fit tight enough. And I can microwave some of my leftovers in the same container I took to the restaurant.
fyi, when I travel to the US or EU or big cities in MX, I do the same as above.
