¿Puedes traerme toallas extra con mi pedido?
‘Traerme’ is grammatically correct but less natural in this context; native speakers usually place the pronoun before the verb: ‘Me puedes traer…’
¿Me puedes traer extra toallas con mi pedido?
When ‘extra’ modifies a noun of quantity, it normally follows the noun: ‘toallas extra’, not ‘extra toallas’.
¿Me puedes llevar toallas extra con mi pedido?
‘Llevar’ means ‘to take away’ or ‘to bring to a place’, while ‘traer’ means ‘to bring here’. Use ‘traer’ for items you want delivered to you.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking hotels and restaurants, it is common to add ‘por favor’ after the request for extra politeness: ‘¿Me puedes traer toallas extra con mi pedido, por favor?’ In very formal settings (e.g., upscale hotels), you might use the conditional ‘¿Podría traerme…?’ instead of ‘¿Me puedes…?’
