A Latin American menu on a tiled table with tacos, salsas, and limes
Illustrative scene. The menu on the table is a real Gaslamp render.

The real menu, both pages

The sample is La Milpa, a fictional restaurant in Barrio Logan, San Diego: antojitos, tacos, platos fuertes, and postres, each on a numbered band with a line of Spanish in the corner.

The protein grid, on paper

Most Mexican menus are a grid: formats down one side, proteins across the other, a few upcharges. The job is printing that grid without making the guest solve a crossword.

  1. Formats

    Tacos, burrito, bowl, quesadilla, plate. One line each with its price, and the protein choices listed once in the description.

    • Tacos, two per order9Asada, pastor, pollo, carnitas, or hongos
    • Burrito14

  2. Upcharges

    The proteins that cost you more get their own line. A printed upcharge beats a surprised guest at the register.

    • Add camarón3
    • Add barbacoa2

  3. Or price by protein

    If the tacos are the point, do what the sample does: one line per taco, priced one at a time. It runs longer and sells the specific.

    • Al pastor14
    • Barbacoa de res16

  4. Salsas

    Free salsas are not priced lines. Name them in the note under the Tacos heading, mildest first, hottest last.

  5. Antojitos, platos, postres

    Guacamole and esquites up front, the mole and the whole fish in the middle, churros at the end.

Example lines and prices show format only. They are not pricing advice.

Mexican menus, straight answers

Is this Mexican menu template free?
Yes. The Latin American PDF on this page is free to download and print, with no signup. It is a finished sample for La Milpa in San Diego, a fictional restaurant, so it carries that restaurant’s dishes. To put your own menu into the design, start the 14-day free trial, no card needed. The trial includes one published live menu with QR codes. PDF downloads and additional menus start when you pick a plan.
How do I show protein choices on a Mexican menu?
List each format once with its price and name the proteins in its description. Proteins that cost more get their own add-on line with the upcharge. The menu stays short and the prices stay honest.
Can the menu be in Spanish and English?
Yes. Use the Spanish dish name and write the English in the description, the way the sample does: Barbacoa de Res, then what is in it.
Can I mark dishes vegetarian or gluten-free?
Yes. Dietary tags (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, spicy, halal, keto) print next to the dish, with a legend at the foot of the page.
