Default Translation please: sour cream

If I want to request sour cream in a restaurant (I know Wal-Mart
carries it) what would I ask for?

My dictionary translates sour cream as nata cortada or crema agria.

Ranch dressing instead.

Thanks, that makes sense. Someone told me to ask for this but my
spelling is likely wrong: mantagia.
Anyone heard of this?

If you mean "mantiquilla", that is butter in Costa Rica. "Manteca" is lard.
