I recently returned from a trip to Ecuador and discovered that the Spanish there was a bit different. Can someone tell me how to say "waiter" and "straw" in Ecuadorian Spanish. Gracias.

No estoy completamente segura pero creo que se dice "mesonero" y "pajilla"
Waiter = mesero/mozo
straw = sorbete
Straw seems to be one of those words that has a lot of variations. Moshe is correct, in Ecuador straw is sorbete. But if you´re curisous about other countries, here's a list.
USA = STRAW
Perú = cañita, sorbete
Chile = bombilla
México = pajilla
Argentina = pajita / sorbete
Venezuela = pitillo
España = paja
Ecuador = sorbete
Cuba = absorbente
Uruguay = pajita / sorbete
Puerto Rico = sorbeto
Excelente Michelleba, gracias!
You're welcome! As to the word 'waiter', this is what I found:
Spain = camarero
Chile = garzón
Caribbean Islands, Colombia, Central America, Ecuador, Mexico = mesero
Venezuela = mesonero
Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay = mozo
