You can translate it as "just" when by "no más" you mean "simplemente" or "solamente" (but "solamente" en el sentido de "tan solo" y no de "exclusivamente"). Quiero comer hamburguesas no más (I only want to eat hamburgers and nothing else but hamburgers) Like Mimuki said it can emphathize, meaning "only that and nothing else but that". But don't forget that (once again) it depends on the context.

That's why I mentioned "class", sorry if it's not the right word, but people with lower incomes are usually warmer and welcome familiarity more than people with higher incomes who don't like to be treated like equals by people they consider lower. I don't include myself there, but it happens. It does't imply disrespect, implies familiarity, so if you're talking to someone like your boss or your client in an important meeting they may think you're treating them like equals or with too much familiarity, and (again) depending on the context, there will be some people who won't like it. It's like parhuzam said, depends on the context.Ģ. In that case, I agree with you: familiar and casual usage.ġ."Por favor" works, but it doesn't mean "por favor" equals "no más". I'm not talking about "no más" when it can be translated as "just".
I was talking about "no más" implying politeness, wich I thought was what you guys were discussing.
