Tapas are small portions of food, with regional variations across Spain. Do not assume they are served the same way everywhere or are always free.
Imagine this classroom scene: you are reading a menu and want to ask about a dish. “¿Qué lleva?” means “What is in it?” The answer can become a list of familiar words: tomate, queso, patata.
For practice, invent your own three-dish menu and take turns asking about ingredients. For an allergy, a practice phrase does not replace checking directly with the staff.
