When ordering food, a simple phrase that can be used is:
Quiero … por favor. (I want … please.)
Practice using this phrase with Mexican menu items that we’ve learned about:
mole poblano (Quiero mole poblano, por favor.)
torta (Quiero una torta, por favor.)
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…?)
mole poblano Mole poblano cuesta … pesos. (Mole poblano costs … pesos.)
¡Que tengas un domingo deportivo! (May you have a casual Sunday!)
