Luis Suárez’s famous restaurant, Chalito, is in the midst of an expansion process.
It currently has three locations in Castelldefels and Barcelona, but four new locations are expected to open in Barcelona during 2023 and two in Madrid in early 2024.
In addition, it will launch a line of Chalito Food Truck business for festivals and hot spots during the summer.
The famous Uruguayan-style milanesa is the star dish at Chalito, which has established itself as one of the best places to enjoy this delicious preparation in Barcelona.
Its formula for success is based on an impeccable batter and the most varied accompaniments, which has allowed thousands of tourists and locals to visit its premises to try this gastronomic delight.
Chalito closed the year 2022 with a turnover of 10 million euros, which represents a growth of almost 50% compared to the previous year.
This success has led Luis Suárez to invest 2 million euros in the opening of new stores and the creation of a Chalito Food Truck business line.

In addition, Chalito’s arrival in Madrid in early 2024 will be a major step in the expansion of the business.

Chalito’s growth strategy seems to be successful, as it has positioned itself as a gastronomic reference in Barcelona and is expected to continue expanding in the future.
