The group paid a deposit of €900 to dine at the El Carmen in order to celebrate the christening of two boys. Just as the cake was on its way, the guests left "in a stampede," according to the owner Antonio Rodriguez.
"They got in their cars and sped out," the inconsolable restaurateur said.
A few days later, the gang reportedly struck again in Ponferrada, just 20 km away.
This time, they told the owner of El Rincon de Pepin, Laura Arias, that they were celebrating a wedding and paid €1,000 as a deposit.
Around 200 wedding guests showed up and consumed €10,000 worth of food and drink before leaving abruptly without settling the bill.
Arias told the BBCthe group disappeared all of a sudden, within five minutes' time.
"That was the unusual thing," she said.
"Usually people leave over time, and you expect someone to come to talk to you and say they will settle the bill the next morning or something. But they didn't say anything, they just disappeared."
Following the latest incident, police arrested a man suspected of being the ringleader of the gang. The man allegedly posed to be the godfather of the baptised child and the father of the groom when he made the reservations, according to Diario de Leon.
