How to Say ‘Do you accept card?’ in Mexican Spanish
¿Acepta tarjeta?
ah-SEHP-tah tar-HEH-tah
[ah-SEHP-tah tar-HEH-tah]
💬 Usage Tip: [Aceptar] is often used without an article for payment methods: [¿Acepta tarjeta?], [¿Acepta efectivo?]. That's more natural here than spelling it out as [la tarjeta].
🇲🇽 In Mexico: In Mexico it's smart to ask this before the ride starts, because many taxis still prefer cash. [Tarjeta] here usually means bank card in general, not just credit card.
