"Ración" = ration*

Tapas are snacks that you can get for free in some parts of Spain. However, some people order "raciones" or "medias raciones" at the bar. They are bigger plates of food that you have to pay for. You can "salir de tapas" or "salir de raciones"

"Vamos a pedir unas raciones" "Voy a pedir media ración de calamares, una entera es demasiado" "Salir de raciones es siempre más caro que salir de tapas"
