When ordering food in Spain, a simple phrase that can be used is:
Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)
Practice using this phrase with Spanish menu items that we’ve learned about:
- paella (Quiero paella, por favor.)
- tortilla de patatas
- pisto
- croquetas de bacalao
- churros con chocolate
- leche frita
- flan
- tarta de Santiago
It’s time for you to practice numbers with menu items. If you’re struggling with numbers, hold tight just a little longer. Volume 2 of You Can Speak Spanish! will guide you through using numbers in Spanish. I will provide links to a real menu to help you answer the following question for our featured menu items:
¿Cuánto cuesta/n…? (How much is/are…?)
- paella La paella cuesta … euros. (Paella costs … euros.)
- tortilla de patatas
- pisto
- croquetas de bacalao Las croquetas de bacalao cuestan … euros. (Cod croquettes cost … euros.)
- churros con chocolate
- leche frita
- flan
- tarta de Santiago

¡Que tengas un domingo diferenciado! (May you have a defined Sunday!)
