I have trouble ordering food at this one restaurant in the next town over because their patrons are almost exclusively Hispanic but their sandwiches are so good.

I've only been twice. First time I had the luxury of having someone who spoke Spanish with me but the last time I was on my own and I tripped over myself trying to order the sandwich just the way I wanted to. One of my friends was telling me he just ate there again and I got to thinking about it.

Depends. If it's in your own country you expect them to know the language however if not you don't. Providing they understand and get my order right I don't care though.

It's your problem, and it'd obviously be a problem for them too if the language barrier hurts their business.

Have a friend write your order in Spanish and just give it to the guy each time. Problem solved.

Not a problem if they can take your order.

Are there pictures you can point to? Maybe you could look up online beforehand what you want to say or order?

I mean In Poland some folk didn't understand me(that's fine). Just a quick google translate and a show of my phone or even attempting to speak polish worked.

No, it's not. I've been to old Korean restaurants where the entire menu is in Korean and the old lady speaks zero english. I can translate the menu with my phone and point.
