That's a really tough industry you're going into. Even if you execute everything well, your profit margin is going to be 3-10% at best.
Try making something exquisite from something simple. It'll help your preparations and keep your expenses low.
With that in mind, here are some ideas that I've seen work:
Taiwanese egg sandwich:

Very simple ingredients (crustless white bread, eggs, mayo, sliced cucumbers, ham) but they sell out very quickly. Cheap to make, you can sell a stack for $3-$4 each and even keep some in a fridge at the front of the place for people to grab and go. Not terribly difficult to make either.
Grilled Cheese - Very simple staple, easy to make, and many people love this. You can use it to showcase local Spanish breads or cheeses.
Toast Sandwich - it sounds awfully stupid, but it can work if you do it well.

Disclaimer: I knew a guy who tried to start a sandwich stop. According to him, it was bloody hard and he had a 6.5% profit margin with an average net take of $1250 a week despite being in a very foot traffic heavy and touristy part of Vegas.
