When ordering food, a simple phrase that can be used is:
Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)
Practice using this phrase with Peruvian menu items that we’ve learned about:
- ceviche (Quiero ceviche, por favor.)
- ají de gallina
- causa rellena
- rocoto relleno
- turrón de Doña Pepa
- picarones
- mazamorra morada
- helado de lúcuma
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 help you answer the following question for our featured menu items:
¿Cuánto cuesta/n…? (How much is/are…?)
- ceviche Ceviche cuesta … soles. (Ceviche costs … soles.)
- ají de gallina
- causa rellena
- rocoto relleno
- turrón de Doña Pepa
- picarones
- mazamorra morada
- helado de lúcuma
¡Que tengas un domingo dominante! (May you have a dominant Sunday!)
