La Gloria de Gloria
Aspiring connoisseurs of chicharrón (pork rinds) and lovers of the classic bandeja paisa should head to this classic neighborhood joint in Envigado (which nudges up to Poblado). The rib-sticking fried strips of pork rind sprawl across the plate like a T-Rex fossil, with every remaining inch loaded with mounds of rice, morcilla (Colombian blood sausage), beans, plantain, and chorizo. There’s a homey, welcoming vibe to the place, especially on Sundays, when locals line up for their shots of aguardiente as a preamble to the feast.
