No como carne.

When to use

Use this phrase to inform your server that you do not eat meat, which is important for ordering dishes that align with your diet.

How it works

This sentence uses a common negative structure with the verb 'comer' (to eat).

• No como
• carne

Formality

This is a straightforward statement of fact. The use of 'yo como' (I eat) is standard and fits any register. It's direct and clear for communication in a restaurant.

Specificity

While 'carne' often implies red meat, if you avoid all animal flesh, including poultry and fish, you might need to be more specific, e.g., 'No como carne, pollo ni pescado' (I don't eat meat, chicken, or fish).

Notes

Dietary restriction phrase. Neutral everyday wording.
