Cultural Tip
Vegetarianism is increasingly common in many Spanish‑speaking countries, but menus may not always label dishes as 'vegetariano'. It’s polite to ask using a question like this rather than assuming. In some regions (e.g., Argentina) you might also hear '¿Tienen opciones sin carne?' which is equally understood.
