Yep!
There is a great Cuban place here in Vegas my girlfriend introduced me to shortly after we met. We are regular customers.
I'll bet everybody has one of these....
My son is particular and never wants lettuce. He nearly always gets lettuce. Mine is Waffle House. What is hard to understand about "Bacon and Egg sandwich on untoasted plain white bread with nothing on it? It comes toasted. It comes with mayonaise, it comes with pickles. Sometimes they are considerate enough to put a package of mayo with it, and since I don't want it I don't have to use it.

I don't like lettuce and avoid eating it when I can. My theory on lettuce is that if you eat enough of it your ears will get long and furry like a rabbit.

Order the lettuce on the side. And order the good part;
Por favor senior/ita. Passa me una cervesa.

I'm unfamiliar with the word "una". I believe you meant to say "seis".

just say:
"Sin .... lechuga"
But you can add words I'm not supposed to say here,(an adjective).
Cilantro I get it, it tastes good. Lettuce is useless.
I don't like crispy taco shells either. Corn tortillas.
Mexican food is actually all the same, it's just arranged different on the plate.

Hmm, good point. But i'm thinking one at a time in the restaurant keeps the rest of the six pack chilling in the fridge.

Your son should order his sandwiches in England. EVERYTHING has to be asked for or it doesn't come. As for asking for an untoasted sandwich, it seems this breaches many American cooks' personal bill of rights and it's not about to happen on their watch.
Well, I guess I'm the exception. I have facial hair, and I can eat cheesy dishes of a variety of kinds without getting it in my facial hair. What my problem is getting stains on my shirt. No matter how hard I try, whenever and whatever I eat (which happens frequently as my waistline will attest) invariably a drop or even a gallon of something will end up right on a spot midway down my shirt. I even spill liquids, and most of them stain (coffee, tea, wine, etc...pretty much anything other than water.) Now, since I'm well past the age of learning new behavior or skills, I usually end of tucking a napkin into my shirt to cover it...no matter how hard I try, I can't manage to eat without spilling, and I've ruined a number of good shirts. While it embarrasses my wife, she finds that approach when we eat out preferable to my usual solution at home: taking my shirt off.
We lived in Tampa for 5 years, and while they didn't understand the first thing about chicken fried steak, they did make some wonderful chicken and yellow rice.
On my first day at the office in Tampa, when it was approaching lunch time, I asked my co-workers (who were all women) what they usually did for lunch. They said, "Oh, we usually go out and pick up a few Cubans." I said I'd pass, and only later did I find out that they were referring to a sandwich.

Ahem. You're in NM: "chile."
Funny. I thought "chili" (chill-ee) was a pepper, or a stew based on said peppers, while "chile" (chill-ay) was a country in South America.
Although "chile" (chyle) is a small human, in the deep south.
I like the lettuce. But why are they so stingy with that dollop of sour cream?

Italian food ... always. Cuban food, excellent. Mexican food ? not me. Salad ? Ok in limited quantities but in antipasto style only.
Nobody says is better than John Pinette (RIP) "Salad is a promissory note that FOOD WILL FOLLOW"

We had a Cuban family teach us how to make Ropa Vieja, Frijoles Negros, and Yellow Rice (I don't know the exotic spanish words for "Yellow Rice") and the dishes are now a staple in our home. We absolutely LOVE!

I just felt the need to post a photo of some red chile enchiladas:
Yum!
Yum!
Erich, you just threw a wrench in the menu machinery for tonight.
I sent your pics to Ruthie with the caption:
"Daddy like!"

Don't fight it. Leave it on your beard and save a snack for later in the evening.

That made my day, amigo: I'm still grinning.
(And, dang it, I want some Cuban food now, myself!
)
