In my experience few Mexican/Cuban restaurants in the US number the entries on their menus plus I frequently find it fun to kid around with the wait persons in Spanish. Fortunately when I go to a Chinese restaurant the menus usually provide numbers alongside their their listings so I can order number 23 but hold the soy sauce and bring me a bottle of Great Wall Wine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_Wine
