Answer 1

"Más or menos" ("more or less") most of the time is used in contexts different from "Así así" (so so), ie: La casa queda más o menos a cien kilometros de aquí (never "asi así").

If you are asked how you like the taste of something, you could say, ie: Fue más o menos sobroso. Or we say simply: Así así with no other verbiage, which is more common.

The choice between the two really depends on context, as Bosquederoble said.

Answer 2

Más o menos means literally- more or less.

Is that good?- más o menos- more or less- it's okay- it's so-so- (could I add it's not bad)

Given the right context, yes

See this wordreference link: http://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=más+o+menos

ir más o menos be okay, be so-and-so

Answer 3

Literally it does mean "more or less." but when used to answer, "Qué tal?" or "Cómo te va?" "Más o menos" is much like your English "So-so" or OK.
