सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The 'Menú del día' is a staple of eating out. It usually includes two courses, bread, a drink, and dessert or coffee for a fixed price. Eating out often happens at 'puestos' (street stalls). It is very common to eat tacos or tamales 'en la calle' (in the street), which is a subset of 'comer fuera'. Sunday 'asado' (BBQ) is usually at home, but 'comer fuera' at a 'parrilla' (steakhouse) is a popular alternative for celebrations. The 'sobremesa' is the tradition of staying at the table after eating out to talk. It can last longer than the meal itself.
Regional Choice
If you are in Mexico or Argentina, use 'afuera'. If you are in Spain, stick to 'fuera'.
Don't overcomplicate
You don't need to say 'comer fuera de la casa'. Just 'comer fuera' is enough.
