MIAMI (AP) — Latin American restaurant chains are opening locations in Florida in hopes of expanding throughout the United States.

America's fast-food and fast-casual restaurants generate a combined $231 billion annually in sales, so these chains see a big opportunity. And they are courting Americans across the board, not just Latin American immigrants.
