Everyday Spanish Vocabulary for the Supermarket (and Restaurants!)
By Lingobi · Published on 04/11/2025
When I first started learning Spanish, I didn’t rely only on apps or textbooks—I practiced in real life. Whether I was grabbing groceries, visiting local shops, or eating at my favorite Venezuelan restaurant, I used those everyday moments to test what I was learning. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked.
Useful words at the supermarket
Carrito: Shopping cart.
Pasillo: Aisle.
Frutas y verduras: Fruits and vegetables.
Caja: Checkout counter.
Ofertas: Sales or discounts.
Restaurant vocabulary I picked up
La cuenta: The bill.
Una mesa para dos: A table for two.
¿Qué recomienda? — What do you recommend?
Está delicioso: It's delicious.
Sin picante: Not spicy.
