qbertDefinitely don't ask for it in Spanish!
MudManWait, what would the problem be with asking for a café solo?
¿Cómo se dice “black” en español?
Not next to the word coffee, is how.
Look, there's half a billion of us and I'm not gonna reject the possibility that wherever you're from people say "café negro" for some reason, but yeah, no, it's "café solo" as fas as I'm concerned. You might as well call café con leche "café beige".
Most Spanish speaking people are Mexican. We ask for café negro. Now, the interesting part is that if you want a café negro in any cafe, and you feel awkward about it, you can ask for a café americano. It’s curious how the café negro in this setup is the “American coffee”. Then again, we don’t think America is America, we understand America as the Americas.
Most? Where?
AnUnusualRelicIn Mexico, I suppose.
