When ordering food, a simple phrase that can be used is:
Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)
Practice using this phrase with Uruguayan menu items that we’ve learned about:
- mate (Quiero mate, por favor.)
- torta pascualina
- fainá
- ñoqui con tuco
- chajá
- salchichón de chocolate
- torta rogel
- Martín Fierro
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…?)
- mate Mate cuesta … pesos. (Mate costs … pesos.)
- torta pascualina
- fainá
- ñoqui con tuco
- chajá
- salchichón de chocolate

¡Que tengas un domingo deportivo! (May you have a sporty Sunday!)
