Did you know?
- The word corral descends from the Latin currale, a term that originally described a place for keeping a chariot.
- In Spanish, if you were to describe the restaurant's concept rather than using its name, you might use the term bufet libre instead of 'buffet'.
- In many Spanish-speaking regions, the word corral is used to refer to a courtyard, which is a very different architectural concept than the livestock enclosure suggested by the restaurant's name.
