Restaurant reservations: Checking table availability for specific dates and times.

🇲🇽 In Mexico, [buenas tardes] is the normal greeting from around midday until evening. [Buenas] alone is common and friendly, but [buenas tardes] is a little more complete and polished with staff.

💬 [Quiero] literally means [I want], but in service situations it often works like [I'd like]. For a softer version, you can also use [quisiera]: [Quisiera reservar una mesa].

🇲🇽 [Quiero reservar una mesa] is understandable, but with restaurant staff many locals would soften it a bit with [quisiera] or start with [buenas tardes]. It is not rude, just more direct.

🇲🇽 [Con gusto] is a polite service reply you will often hear from staff, meaning something like 'gladly' rather than literal pleasure. It sounds warmer and more attentive than a plain [sí].
