This is a text describing the Chilean Pavilion at Expo '92 in Seville:
La idea consistió en ofrecer gratuitamente a los espectadores un abanico de cajas diseñadas con motivos propios del país, tales como el pan de marraqueta, la figura de Pablo Neruda, las populares fuentes de soda, etc.
Is that brands of soft drinks? Water fountains does not make sense...
Thanks

soda fountain / snack bar
I'm not entirely sure whether this applies to Chile, but it's quite a common expression that can be found in the dictionary. I imagine it's a calque of the US term.

A soda fountain is a device that dispenses carbonated soft drinks, called fountain drinks. They can be found in restaurants, concession stands and other locations such as convenience stores. The device combines flavored syrup or syrup concentrate and carbon dioxide with chilled and purified water to make soft drinks, either manually, or in a vending machine which is essentially an automated soda fountain that is operated using a soda gun. Today, the syrup often is pumped from a special container called a bag-in-box (BIB).
A soda fountain is also referred to as a postmix machine in some markets. Any brand of soft drink that is available as postmix syrup may be dispensed by a fountain.
The term may also refer to a small eating establishment or lunch counter, common from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century, often inside a drugstore or other business, where a soda jerk served carbonated beverages, ice cream, and sometimes light meals. The soda jerk's fountain generally dispensed only unflavored carbonated water, to which various syrups were added by hand.

: Yes, I frequent "Big Ed's Soda Fountain and Grill", in Vermilion, Ohio, which is decorated in 1950s American memorabilia, and which serves a mean root beer shake, and the usual burgers, etc.

: Yeah! "Soda fountain" because they would use a machine to dispense soda pop. And other yummy treats and burgers, as Barbara Cochran said.

Diner, but historically derived from soda fountain
On the model of "soda fountains" and "soda jerks", this style of establishment came into vogue in Chile, the land of such unique Spanish lexicon! More current for US usage would be "diner".

Maybe this gives you a better idea what they refer to, it is a diner.
