Spanish restaurant Chico Madrid is now offering a catering menu. The new menu, inspired by many travels in Spain and a love of the ubiquitous corner sandwhich shops there, features simple but high quality items such as bocadillos (long thin baguette sandwiches), assorted Spanish cheeses, and an assorted house charcuterie. After many requests, Chico Madrid is now eager to bring lunch or dinner (or snacks!) to your office, home, party, event, or your Wednesday afternoon.
