Spain's Fast Food Chain Opens In Central America
GUATEMALA CITY, Aug 11 (BERNAMA-NNN-EFE) -- Spain's fast food chain '100 Montaditos', a unit of the Restalia Group, has opened the first of nine restaurants planned for Guatemala, the Spanish Economic and Trade Office said Sunday.
The new restaurant, which charges between US$1.30 and US$2.70 for its small sandwiches, is the chain's first in Central America.
Fast-casual burrito, burger and sandwich chains have for long become fixtures on the American dining landscape. But until now, fast-casual tapas, however, had not.
But Spain's 100 Montaditos is seeking to change that with a restaurant inspired by 19th century Spanish taverns.
The restaurant features a bar up front serving beer, wine, sangria and espresso, along with raised bar tables that can accommodate two or three people. Larger tables are in the back.
The service style is fast and casual.
When guests order and pay at the bar, they receive a number to display at their table, and their food and drinks are brought to them.
