I do better when explaining with examples. I translated them to help you as well. Mejor= better Mas= more I like cookies better than cake. - Me gusta galletas mejor que pastel. I like chocolate more than vanilla. - Me gusta chocolate mas que vanilla. I love you more. - Te amo mas. I think your hair looks better like that. - Pienso que tu cabello se mira mejor asi. Spanish is better than English. - Español es mejor que Ingles. I like Spanish more than English. - Me gusta Español mas que Ingles. I hope this helps! -Stephanie M.

You can say "I like X better than Y" or "I like X more than Y"

Both are correct, and the meaning is the same.

However, "more" can also be used in a lot of other contexts (such as "I hate X more than Y") where you cannot use "better"
