El Corral: Las hamburguesas

El Corral – with the best burgers I’ve tried anywhere, the U.S.A. included.

Scrumptious, delicious, outstanding – it’s hardly impossible to find the right words for El Corral’s many hamburgers: “Mexicana” topped with guacamole, “Italiana” with mozzarella and parmesan, or maybe “Al Carbon” double meat with for example American cheese, bacon and BBQ sauce? Take a look at the menu.

I got curious about the history of hamburgers and found some interesting stuff at Wikipedia. Anyway, some emigrating people from the German city of Hamburg were involved, as an old dish started to develop itself on the American side of the Atlantic.

But how come that Colombia now can pride itself with the best burgers in the world? I don’t know. Anyway, why not combine a visit to Caribbean world heritage city of Cartagena with a visit to El Corral in that same place? Life could be worse

El Corral – the most outstanding hamburger chain in Colombia, offering the best burgers I’ve tried anywhere, the U.S.A. included.

I had been told about this place before going, and my interest in good food of all categories made El Corral a primary objective for the journey. And yes – it’s a hit!

The company was founded in 1983 and now runs more than 60 restaurants in the big cities of Colombia. Most of them are in Bogota. There and in Medellin you also find a few Corral Gourmet restaurants that offer a more fancy setting than the typical fast food Corral.

But a plain El Corral place is fancy enough! By the way, dear Corral management, when do you come to Europe? Please?!
