in Spanish for your restaurant established in one of the Spanish-speaking countries of the world.
Your menu must have four categories and twelve items, all authentic dishes of the target culture
of your choice within the Spanish-speaking world. You must decide on an appropriate name for
your restaurant, create an address and phone number, and list hours of operation consistent with
examples you find on-line from authentic restaurants of the target culture. Your menu items must
be priced in the local currency, converted in an appropriate manner for the target culture.
