Etiquette at eateries on the Camino

Hi Folks,

I'm currently on the Camino Primitivo. My question is a simple and probably stupid one, but what is the etiquette for ordering food in the various eateries along the route? Do you just walk in, sit down at an empty table and wait to be served? There don't appear to any menu's either, is the one suitable to the time of day brought to you? I should mention that my Spanish is deplorable, I'm traveling alone and if I'm honest a a pretty shy and retiring individual - not a great combo!!! I've been managing just fine, finding food at various supermarkets along the way, even managed to get some paracetemol from a pharamacy too, but I would like to eat the occasional hot meal! All help and suggestions appreciated, except to grow a pair, that is part of what this trip is all about

Thanks and Regards,

Dar

Thanks everyone for the advice! Just had a rather enjoyable meal, feeling like a new man, muchas gracias!!

Already gone by Salas, lovely town I may well visit again, if so I'll take up your recommendation Tom. Got to Berducedo today from Palo de Allande, decided to have an easier day rather than push any further. 4 days to Lugo and a rest day!
