class="entry-content" itemProp="articleBody"> <p>Many students wonder how to order food in Spanish naturally. In this guide, you’ll find the vocabulary and phrases you need not only to order food in Spanish, but also to communicate effectively at the restaurant.</p> <h2>Phrases to Order Food in Spanish</h2> <ul><li><strong>Para mí, va a ser… </strong>– For me, it’s going to be</li><li><strong>¿Me puedes/podrías traer…? </strong>– Can/Could you bring me…?</li><li><strong>Quisiera…</strong> – I would like…</li><li><strong>Voy a querer… </strong>– I’ll have…</li><li><strong>¿Qué platillo me recomiendas? </strong>– What dish would you recommend to me?</li></ul> <p>Although there are many ways to order food in Spanish, these are the most common phrases for this context. Let’s look at some notes so you can correctly use these phrases. </p> <p><em>Para mí va a ser </em>refers to a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">singular</span> dish or beverage.  </p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Para mí</strong>, <strong>va a ser</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">un jugo</span> de naranja.  <br><strong>For me</strong>, <strong>it’s</strong> going to be orange <span style="text-decoration: underline;">juice</span>. </p> <p>This means you must adjust the verb if referring to a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">plural</span> noun (<em>van). </em>Also, you can use different <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/spanish-prepositional-pronouns/">prepositional pronouns in Spanish</a> to order for others: </p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Para ellos</strong>, <strong>van </strong>a ser dos cafés.  <br><strong>For them</strong>, <strong>it’s going to be</strong> two coffees. </p> <p>To order food in Spanish more casually, you can say:</p> <p class="has-text-align-center">Yo <strong>voy a querer</strong> dos burritos. <br><strong>I’ll have</strong> two burritos. </p> <p class="has-text-align-center">¿Me <strong>puedes traer</strong> una orden de hot cakes? <br><strong>Can you bring me</strong> an order of pancakes? </p> <p>The formal counterparts are <em>quisiera </em>and <em>¿me podrías…?</em></p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Quisiera</strong> ordenar la ensalada de frutas.  <br><strong>I’d </strong>like to order the fruit salad.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center">¿Me <strong>podrías traer</strong> la sopa del día? <br><strong>Could you bring me</strong> the soup of the day?</p> <p>This last expression can be customized by changing the <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/spanish-indirect-object-pronouns/">indirect object pronoun</a>. </p> <p class="take-notes"><strong>Take Note</strong>: Like in English, in Spanish, <em>¿me puedes traer…? </em>and its formal variation can be used to ask the waiter to bring anything, including glasses, napkins, or cutlery. </p> <h3>Asking for recommendations and ingredients</h3> <p><em>¿Qué platillo me recomiendas? </em>can work on its own as a cue to order something. However, if you have specific requests for the recommendation, you should use the following formula. Be aware that, in real-life situations, the order of the elements may change:</p> <p class="has-text-align-center phrase-structure"><strong>¿Qué + [noun] + [indirect pronoun] +  recomiendas + que + [<a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/present-subjunctive-spanish/">present subjunctive</a>]?</strong></p> <p class="has-text-align-center">¿Qué platillo me recomiendas que no <strong>tenga</strong> carne? <br>What dish would you recommend without meat?</p> <p class="has-text-align-center">¿Qué sopa que <strong>lleve</strong> pollo nos recomiendas? <br>What soup that has chicken do you recommend?</p> <p>In Spanish, <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/verbs/llevar-conjugation/">the verb <em>llevar</em></a><em> </em>is used to inquire about the ingredients in a dish. </p> <p class="has-text-align-center">¿Qué <strong>lleva</strong> la paella? <br>What’s <strong>in </strong>the paella?</p> <p class="has-text-align-center">¿Las enchiladas <strong>llevan</strong> carne? <br>Do the enchiladas <strong>contain</strong> meat? </p> <p class="has-text-align-center">El jugo de naranja no <strong>lleva</strong> azúcar.  <br>The orange juice doesn’t <strong>contain</strong> sugar. </p> <p class="take-notes"><strong>Take Note: </strong>Depending on the formality of the situation, you may need to choose between using <a href="https://www.tellmeinspanish.com/grammar/formal-vs-informal-you-in-spanish/">formal or informal you</a> with the restaurant personnel. </p> <h3>Correcting your order</h3> <p>Now that you know how to order food in Spanish, here are some phrases you can use to point out mistakes in your order. Note that to make these expressions more polite, you can use the word <em>disculpa </em>(excuse me). </p> <p class="has-text-align-center phrase-structure"><strong>[Indirect pronoun] + [pedir in preterite] + [dish/drink]</strong></p> <p class="has-text-align-center">Disculpa, <strong>te pedí </strong>la ensalada sin queso.  <br>Excuse me, I <strong>ordered</strong> the salad without cheese. </p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><strong>Le pedimos</strong> dos cafés y un té.  <br><strong>We ordered</strong> two coffees and a cup of tea. </p> <p>The second option you have is:</p> <p class="has-text-align-center phrase-structure"><strong>[Dish/drink] + [ser in imperfect tense] + con/sin + [ingredients]</strong></p> <p class="has-text-align-center">La hamburguesa <strong>era</strong> sin catsup.  <br>The burger <strong>was</strong> without ketchup. </p> <p class="has-text-align-center">Disculpa, las limonadas <strong>eran</strong> con agua mineral. <br>Excuse me, the lemonades <strong>were</strong> with mineral water. </p> <figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe loading="lazy" title="How to Order Food in Spanish: Restaurant Vocab & Phrases" width="640" height="360" src="about:blank" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen data-rocket-lazyload="fitvidscompatible" data-lazy-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t8V2Gw8MyiM?feature=oembed"></iframe><noscript><iframe title="How to Order Food in Spanish: Restaurant Vocab & Phrases" width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/t8V2Gw8MyiM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript> </div></figure> <h2>How to Ask for the Bill in Spanish</h2> <ul><li><strong>¿Me puedes traer la cuenta, por favor? </strong></li><li><strong>¿Me das la cuenta, por favor? </strong></li><li><strong>¿Te encargo la cuenta, por favor? </strong></li><li><strong>¿Te puedo pedir la cuenta, por favor?</strong></li></ul> <p>The previous expressions are the most standard ways to ask for the bill in Spanish.

In this guide, you\u2019ll find the vocabulary and phrases you need not only to order food in Spanish, but also to communicate effectively at the restaurant.\n\n\n\nPhrases to Order Food in Spanish\n\n\n\nPara m\u00ed, va a ser\u2026 - For me, it\u2019s going to be\u00bfMe puedes\/podr\u00edas traer\u2026? - Can\/Could you bring me\u2026?Quisiera\u2026 - I would like\u2026Voy a querer\u2026 - I\u2019ll have\u2026\u00bfQu\u00e9 platillo me recomiendas? - What dish would you recommend to me?\n\n\n\nAlthough there are many ways to order food in Spanish, these are the most common phrases for this context. Let\u2019s look at some notes so you can correctly use these phrases. \n\n\n\nPara m\u00ed va a ser refers to a singular dish or beverage.  \n\n\n\nPara m\u00ed, va a ser un jugo de naranja.  For me, it\u2019s going to be orange juice. \n\n\n\nThis means you must adjust the verb if referring to a plural noun (van). Also, you can use different prepositional pronouns in Spanish to order for others: \n\n\n\nPara ellos, van a ser dos caf\u00e9s.  For them, it\u2019s going to be two coffees. \n\n\n\nTo order food in Spanish more casually, you can say:\n\n\n\nYo voy a querer dos burritos. I\u2019ll have two burritos. \n\n\n\n\u00bfMe puedes traer una orden de hot cakes? Can you bring me an order of pancakes? \n\n\n\nThe formal counterparts are quisiera and \u00bfme podr\u00edas\u2026?\n\n\n\nQuisiera ordenar la ensalada de frutas.  I\u2019d like to order the fruit salad.\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe podr\u00edas traer la sopa del d\u00eda? Could you bring me the soup of the day?\n\n\n\nThis last expression can be customized by changing the indirect object pronoun. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Like in English, in Spanish, \u00bfme puedes traer\u2026? and its formal variation can be used to ask the waiter to bring anything, including glasses, napkins, or cutlery. \n\n\n\nAsking for recommendations and ingredients\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 platillo me recomiendas? can work on its own as a cue to order something. However, if you have specific requests for the recommendation, you should use the following formula. Be aware that, in real-life situations, the order of the elements may change:\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 + [noun] + [indirect pronoun] +  recomiendas + que + [present subjunctive]?\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 platillo me recomiendas que no tenga carne? What dish would you recommend without meat?\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 sopa que lleve pollo nos recomiendas? What soup that has chicken do you recommend?\n\n\n\nIn Spanish, the verb llevar is used to inquire about the ingredients in a dish. \n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 lleva la paella? What\u2019s in the paella?\n\n\n\n\u00bfLas enchiladas llevan carne? Do the enchiladas contain meat? \n\n\n\nEl jugo de naranja no lleva az\u00facar.  The orange juice doesn\u2019t contain sugar. \n\n\n\nTake Note: Depending on the formality of the situation, you may need to choose between using formal or informal you with the restaurant personnel. \n\n\n\nCorrecting your order\n\n\n\nNow that you know how to order food in Spanish, here are some phrases you can use to point out mistakes in your order. Note that to make these expressions more polite, you can use the word disculpa (excuse me). \n\n\n\n[Indirect pronoun] + [pedir in preterite] + [dish\/drink]\n\n\n\nDisculpa, te ped\u00ed la ensalada sin queso.  Excuse me, I ordered the salad without cheese. \n\n\n\nLe pedimos dos caf\u00e9s y un t\u00e9.  We ordered two coffees and a cup of tea. \n\n\n\nThe second option you have is:\n\n\n\n[Dish\/drink] + [ser in imperfect tense] + con\/sin + [ingredients]\n\n\n\nLa hamburguesa era sin catsup.  The burger was without ketchup. \n\n\n\nDisculpa, las limonadas eran con agua mineral.\u00a0 Excuse me, the lemonades were with mineral water. \n\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=t8V2Gw8MyiM\n\n\n\n\nHow to Ask for the Bill in Spanish\n\n\n\n\u00bfMe puedes traer la cuenta, por favor? \u00bfMe das la cuenta, por favor? \u00bfTe encargo la cuenta, por favor? \u00bfTe puedo pedir la cuenta, por favor?\n\n\n\nThe previous expressions are the most standard ways to ask for the bill in Spanish. If you\u2019re in a more casual setting, you can also say:\n\n\n\n\u00bfCu\u00e1nto va a ser? - How much is it going to be?\u00bfCu\u00e1nto es? - How much is it?\u00bfCu\u00e1nto te\/le debo? - How much do I owe you?\n\n\n\nHow to Take an Order\n\n\n\nSo far, you\u2019ve learned how to order food and how to correct your order if there\u2019s a mistake. Here are some expressions the waiter may use to take your order in Spanish: \n\n\n\n\u00bfEst\u00e1 listo para ordenar? - Are you ready to order?\u00bfQu\u00e9 desea ordenar? - What would you like to order?\u00bfNecesita unos minutos m\u00e1s? - Do you need a few more minutes?\u00bfQu\u00e9 ser\u00eda para usted? - What would you have?\u00bfDesea ordenar las bebidas primero? - Would you like to order the drinks first?\u00bfQu\u00e9 va a ser para tomar? - What would you like to drink?\u00bfSu bebida ser\u00eda con agua mineral o natural? - Do you want your drink with mineral or natural water?\u00bfDesea acompa\u00f1ar su platillo con algo m\u00e1s? - Would you like to add something else to your meal?\u00bfLe puedo retirar la carta? - Can I take the menu? \u00bfEst\u00e1 todo bien? - Is everything okay?\u00bfLe puedo ofrecer algo m\u00e1s? - Can I offer you something else?\u00bfDesea un postre? - Would you like to order a dessert?\u00bfLe gustar\u00eda ver el men\u00fa de postres? - Would you like to see the dessert menu?\n\n\n\nKey Vocabulary for Ordering Food in Spanish\n\n\n\nHere are some words you may find useful in the restaurant context. \n\n\n\nAperitivo: AppetizerAz\u00facar: SugarBa\u00f1o: Toilet Caf\u00e9: Coffee Con: WithCuchara: Spoon Cuchillo: Knife Cuenta: BillHielo: IceMantel: TableclothMen\u00fa \/ Carta: MenuMesa: TableMesero: WaiterMesera: WaitressOrden: OrderPara dos: For twoPara llevar: To go\/To takePlato: PlatePostre: DessertPropina: TipRefresco: Soft drinkSal: SaltSalero: Salt-shakerServilleta: NapkinSin: Without Taza: CupTenedor: ForkTerraza: Terrace Vaso: GlassVino: Wine\n\n\n\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 aperitivo nos recomiendas?
