Domestic flyers treat this as the “just feed me” burger stop
Presto in T1 near /MEX/gate/ is the Colombian fast-food name you see everywhere in Bogotá, including here at El Dorado. Think basic burgers, fries, and soda before boarding, not a long sit-down meal. Prices sit around the /MEX/price/ range, cheaper than the table-service spots in the same concourse. It’s all counter service with tray pickup, so you’re in and out fast if the line is short.
Hours run roughly /MEX/hours/, covering the early domestic bank and late-night departures out of Terminal 1. Menu focus is burgers with local twists, plus chicken options and the usual fries and soft drinks. Portions skew on the smaller side compared with US chains but match the lower price point at BOG. If you just want calories and don’t care about ambience, this fits the brief better than the pricier restaurants closer to the main T1 security area.
Quality tracks with the 1.9 rating: food comes out inconsistent, and burgers can arrive lukewarm if they’re pulling from a holding stack during busy peaks at /MEX/gate/. Fries tend to go soft fast, so eat them right away. Service pace swings a lot; during the midday rush it’s standard to wait 10–15 minutes from order to tray. On the upside, you usually find a seat nearby because many passengers skip it in favor of coffee chains deeper into T1.
If you do stop at Presto, keep it simple: basic burger, fries, and a drink, nothing complicated that needs special prep. Check your gate and boarding time before joining the line at /MEX/gate/, since they don’t announce flights over the counter. Practical move: order to go, then eat closer to your exact gate in T1 so you can board as soon as your group gets called.
