How can I order food in Spanish?
When using quisiera, how would I complete the sentence?
Is it like: quisiera una hamburguesa or quisiera tomar una hamburguesa.......
or something like that?

I would say: "Quisiera una hamburgesa por favor"
You may want some variety in your grammar, rather than saying quisiera all the time.
Deme papas a la francesa con esa por favor. (Give me some french fries with that, please, though in Spain you would say patatas fritas, and in some countries papas fritas.)
Me gustaría también una gaseosa grande. (I'd also like a large soda pop.)
Welcome to the forum! Good question.
We try to use correct capitalization and punctuation (and spelling) on this site, as there are people trying to learn English here, too.
I edited your question to be consistent with our expectations, but next time try to do it yourself.
Hola iIrurus,
To say what you'd like or what you want, you can use either quisiera o quiero (I'd like)
-Quisiera una hamburguesa.
-Quiero una hamburguesa.
To say what you have've chosen, you can use voy a tomar (I'll have)
-De primero voy a tomar ensalada.
-De segundo voy a tomar merluza en salsa.
-Y de postre voy a tomar flan con nata.
-Para beber vamos a tomar vino blanco.
If you are at your table, a very natural way to ask the waiter for what you want is by using ¿Me trae una hamburguesa con patatas fritas y coca-cola grande?
Another way to order food is using ¿Me pone una ración de calamares a la romana y una cerveza? Can I have.....?

la manera más natural.....
"me pone un/una/algun@....." "Para mí..... "
