I have always seen "para llevar" used for this.

The example sentences at the two definitions I linked abouve are not helpful, so here are good examples of usage at this link:

Yes, para llevar is certainly correct :) - FELIZ77, Sep 10, 2016

Answer 2

Y ahora un poco de ayuda con su inglés.

Muchas veces cuando se hace una pregunta en Inglés se emplea el verbo auxiliar "do" o "does." Su pregunta se oye mejor así:

What does "I want this dish to take away" mean? A veces los angloparlantes dicen:" I want this dish "to go. " el cual significa lo mismo. Y se usa con más frecuencia.

O kay I guess ! - ray76, Sep 11, 2016

Hello Frank,

Welcome to our SpanishDict learning community

You asked:

Bosque gave you a good answer. More specifically you can say:

Quiero este plato 'para llevar' = I want this dish to 'take away'

Quiero esta comida para llevar = I want this food (meal) to 'take away'

I hope this helps
