go out to eat and celebrate! I�m
inviting.
MARISOL: McDougal�s

go somewhere fancy. There�s a
new Venezuelan restaurant on Main. �Los Primos�, I think they call it.
MARISOL: Oh yes. They say it�s really good. What�s Venezuelan food like?
DANIEL: Pretty good. But I�m
no expert on it. See you about 7:30 then?
MARISOL: Yes, OK. Thank you for the invitation.
(Later in �Los
Primos�
restaurant)
MARISOL: The d�cor
here is the nicest I�ve
seen in a long time. It looks expensive, though.
DANIEL: Don�t
worry. I told you I�m
buying.
WAITER: Good evening! (He hands them a menu) Would you like water?
BOTH :. Yes, please.
WAITER: I�ll
be right with you. (he leaves)(they look at the menu)
DANIEL: Hmm! The prices here are very reasonable. I hope the food is as
good as the d�cor.
What are you having, Marisol?
MARISOL: Well, I don�t
know. The menu is in Spanish and English but�..
DANIEL: Well, I�m
having Asado Negro. That�s a
delicious kind of Roast Beef, but the sauce is sweet and very, very dark.

have Asados.
