If you're looking for a quick, cheap, delicious little bite to eat... Cien Montaditos is the way to go. Montaditos are mini-baguette sandwiches (about 4 inches long). And Cien Montaditos has over 100 varieties of these little sandwiches. Each of them vary between 1Euro>1.75 Euro, and worth every centimo.
They give you a menu to fill out at your table and you bring it up to the counter. I usually get about 4 montaditos to fill me up... but you can always order more. And they are accompanied by a hefty pile of potato chips. Yum!
My faves: Salmon & Filadelphia (cream cheese), Tortilla de Patatas & Queso Brie (spanish tortilla and brie cheese), Carne Mechada y Mojo Picón (some kind of slow-cooked beef with a spicy sauce). I guess this is considered fast food in Spain, but you don't walk away from there feeling like you do after a Big Mac.
They've even started to have healthier options, and offer pan integral (whole wheat bread) with all sandwiches. There are multiple locations throughout Madrid and the good thing is they are open all day long, in case you're like most tourists looking for someplace to eat outside of the normal Spanish meal times. Enjoy!
