Answer 1

Yes, you could use disfrutar, however in this situation it´s more common to comment on the quality of the food, rather than saying that you enjoyed it, by using adjectives to discribe it such as rico, sabroso, etc. ie: ¡Las enchiladas estaban bien ricas! / ¡Qué sabrosa estaba la sopa de fideo! / (idiomatic) ¡Las chuletas estaban para morirse!

Answer 2

If you were trying to say that you enjoyed food, would you use the verb- disfrutar?

Well, you can use it , maybe gustar is more common.

Disfruto mucho de una buena comida.

Me gusta mucho comer, una buena comida, la fabada, una paella...

Answer 3

There are a variety of ways to say you enjoy something, including food in Spanish.

You may want to check out the dictionary entries for the following Spanish verbs

disfrutar
gustar
apetecer
tener ganas de
encantar
gozar
saber - to taste (also can mean "to know")

There are additional phrases to say things like:

This has good flavor
This is delicious etc.

Try the translator at the top of the page. Enter any simple English sentence you might use and you will probably get a good Spanish translation as long as the sentence is fairly simple and you stay away from idioms / regional expressions, etc.

hi ken, gozar would not be used in Spain...I know it is common in other countries. - 006595c6, Aug 27, 2017

Answer 4

Hello!

Are you referring to "¡Buen provecho!" & ¡Que aproveche! for "Enjoy your meal!"?

Also, here's an example of a question & answer, if you are referring to disfrutar:

• Question: Did you enjoy your meal? ¿Les gustó la comida?
• Answer: I really enjoy reading and drinking coffee. Disfruto mucho leer y tomar café.

Hope this helps.

Regards!
