Corral Callejera
The “street” burger, inspired by Colombian street food. A beef patty with mozzarella and a layer of papa perro, the crunchy shoestring potato sticks that top hot dogs across Colombia, with mayo, ketchup and mustard. It is all about the crunch, and it tastes like a late night out in Bogotá.
The story
Bogotá has a street burger of its own, sold from carts long into the night, and it looks nothing like an American one: the patty disappears under crushed potato crisps, salsa rosada — ketchup mixed with mayonnaise — and often pineapple or a quail egg. The crisps are the point, since they hold their crunch under the sauce for exactly as long as it takes to eat. Putting that build on a chain menu was El Corral admitting what its customers were eating on the way home anyway.
