How is Paco's burrito, is it a big burrito or a small burrito ? But in the sentence, "Paco's hat is black as night." Como doesn't mean how. Why does como in the middle of a sentence translate to like or as? Your question is excellent. ¿Cómo? does mean, 'How?" when it starts a sentence that is asking a question.How is the book?, How is the book? ¿Cómo es el libro? However, just like other question words if they are not at the beginning of the sentence many times they take on another meaning: Como in the middle of a sentence translates to 'like or as", El sombrero de Paco es negro como la noche.
