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.
