What is a “Montadito” you might ask? Well, In Spanish, montar means “to mount,” so montaditos are tapas-style tiny baguettes that are piled high with meats, cheeses, chocolates…essentially delightful bite-sized finger food.
Various “montaditos”
That is the concept behind 100 Montaditos (you can choose from 100 mini sandwiches, hence the name). They also serve appetizers, tapas, salads, various types of beer, and of course sangria.
100 Montaditos has become a very popular restaurant chain, which first opened its doors in 2000 in the south of Spain, and has now become the largest Spanish-owned franchise in the world. The ambiance is very typical of a tapas bar in Spain, where once folks finish their meals, they like to hang around drinking and having fun.

In 2011, the first US restaurant and Americas headquarters was opened in, where else, Miami. My family and I love to frequent this place because there is such variety, and you can’t beat the prices. The mini sandwiches range in price between $1.00 – $2.50, but on Wednesdays, all sandwiches cost $1.00! Another great feature of these restaurants is their locations. In the Miami area, you can find one in South Miami, Miracle Mile, Lincoln Road, Brickell Avenue, Midtown, Kendall, Pinecrest…just about anywhere. My favorite montaditos are the Serrrano ham, Manchego cheese, tortilla Española with ali oli, and my husband loves the BBQ pulled pork.
My favorite Montadito!
On our last visit there, they had changed up the menu a bit, and I was surprised that they no longer serve the very popular cream cheese and guava montadito, (not sure why it’s off the menu, it was delicious). But if you’re looking for a sweet ending to your meal, make sure you try one of their delicious chocolate montaditos, especially the Cookies and Cream one! Have you been to 100 Montaditos? If you have, which is your favorite?
They serve sangria? SOLD! LOL. This sounds like just the type of restaurant that I would love and visit often!
100 Montadito options? That is crazy.. I would have to look at the online menu before I went so I did not hold up the line!
Sounds like my kind of food!
I have never error heard of this. .thanks for the new information.
SO many options I don’t know how I would pick just one. I guess with them being smaller I could pick a couple and be happy. What a great little place that offers a little something for everyone.
Looks like a fun little place.
Oh yum. The Ham Croqueta looks so good. I never had one before. I want the cookies and cream dessert too. Thanks for making me hungry!
What a fun place to visit. Food looks delicious too!
Those montaditos look delicious. I hope one opens up near me someday because I would love to try it!
Yum, sounds like my kind of snack or lunch. I love meat and cheese sandwiches.
wow taught about food option I have to look at menu just to decide before going.
Oh my gosh the cream cheese and guava sandwich looks yummy! Thanks for letting me know what a Montadito is =)

That definitely looks like something I would enjoy! Great option!
You had me at baguette pilled with meats! Yes please!!! I’ve never been to Montadito and wish they had one up here in Montreal!
That is an interesting presentation! I like the fun factor here
This sounds like a great restaurant! I would love to visit. If I make it to Miami I will be checking this place out. Wish there was one here I’m Georgia.
Sounds awesome! Never heard of them before 🙂
Looks delicious! So amazing that there is over 100 varieties to choose from!
I guess you do learn something new everyday. I’ve never heard of a montadito before and the food looks really great! I would so love to give it a try.
I had not heard of this before. Looks like an interesting dish!
I haven’t been to a 100 Montaditos restaurant but I need to check for one in my area. I’d like to try one of those stacked montaditos.
It sounds great. I hate when a menu favorite goes off the list, we’ve had that happen to us here before too.
Sounds like some really good food .x
I’ll have to check this place out the next time I’m in Miami!
Very cool! I love learning about new food items! They might not be new, but they are new to me!
These montaditos look delicious. I would love to serve these to my guests at a dinner party.
I never heard the term Montadito before . These looks so good and I love everything on them
