Restaurant reservations: Number of guests

💬 [Quisiera] is a polite softener: more like "I'd like" than a plain "I want." You can reuse it with other verbs too, like [quisiera hablar] for "I'd like to speak."

💬 In Mexico, [hacer una reservación] is natural for "make a reservation." You can swap the noun: [hacer una pregunta], [hacer un pedido].

💬 [Quisiera] makes the request sound polite and less direct, like "I'd like to..." rather than "I want to..." You can keep the same pattern with another action: [quisiera cambiar la hora].

💬 For time expressions, Spanish often uses [esta] where English uses no extra word: [esta noche], [esta tarde], [esta semana]. Here [para esta noche] means the reservation is for tonight.

🇲🇽 [Con gusto] is a warm, common service phrase in Mexico. Staff use it to mean "gladly" or "certainly," not as anything especially formal or old-fashioned.
