Practice Spanish for Restaurant Work in Mexico

About this episode

Ana gets her first server shift at a busy Mexico City restaurant and has to learn fast: greeting the table, taking the order without writing it down, sending la comanda to the kitchen, carrying plates on la charola without dropping anything, handling to-go orders, and asking for la cuenta at the right moment. Every term is Mexican Spanish — mesero not camarero, charola not bandeja, platillo del día, chiles en nogada, la propina. Maria hosts and plays the guests. The full shift plays out in Spanish and English side by side so every phrase lands in context.

The full illustrated comic, study guide, transcript, audio & vocab are in the pack.
