The sound of R in Spanish is called a "flap" in linguistics. It's definitely not an English R sound at all. It's more like a really fast D sound, with a tiny bit of R coloring on it.
If you said the word "número" in Spanish in two ways:
número (with an English R)
númedo (with an English D),
a Spanish speaker will say that the second one sounds closer to the correct way.

No it is pronounced with the "R" so it should be Nume"R"o. :)
