A friend and I went there for lunch and we like it. Actually the restaurants is very nice and their location as well. We experience the high cuisine from Medellin at this place. And for any one going on here won't be any regrets.

There are a lot better burger joints in Medellin. Chef Burger, Barbacoa and The Grill Station all come to mind. I am dumbfounded why this place is so popular and has so many locations. The burgers are extremely overpriced. I think I paid $17 for a burger with guacamole in combo with fries and a drink. Although tasty, it was... More

When you travel in Colombia, in any City of this country, go to El Corral. Order the CORRALISIMA Burger, they have 1/2 pound and 3/4 pound sizes + a humungus TODOTERRENO size (2 X 1/4 lb.)

They made very good burgers. You can find it in different locations. If you have time, try the "Corralisima".

The only Burgers which I think are acceptable are the Coralissimo range, that are cooked on Carbon, however this comes at a price which is well above average Colombians purchasing power, around 25.000 pesos. I tried their Philidelphia steak burger but it doesn't taste like anything, do not waste your money on that one ! Acceptable burgers on Carbon but... More

El Corral is Colombia's answer to Macdonalds, a cultural experience every tourist must try once. Good hamburgers, certainly better than Macdonalds, but not as amazing as everyone claims, and quite expensive. Good for a hungove weekend lunch!

Nice but nothing amazing about these burgers. Renown for being overpriced. Much better burgers can be found at Firehouse or Chef Burger bar.
