Petit Futé

"One of the most traditional addresses. Chicharrones Gloria are well known. The portions are generous, not to say gargantuan, for the great pleasure of the people!"

Trans-Americas Journey

"The place isn’t much to look at except for the glass display case which is full of gorgeous, succulent meat. The chicharrón lives up to its fame: meaty, rich, and not overly salty."

Dave Lee

"I’m not normally a fan of chicharrón, seeing it as deep-fried fat and little else, but Doña Gloria’s chicharrón is different. I could immediately see there was meat in there too. In fact, it was the single meatiest piece of chicharrón I’d come across in the last five years."

Ahl Collective

"La Gloria de Gloria is a casual eatery with (almost) every traditional Colombian dish out there. Come hungry and order the chicharrón. If you're not afraid of fried food and pork you will love it."

Colombia Immersion

"La Gloria de la Glora is arguably the most famous restaurant in Envigado. The secret to their success? Amazing portion sizes, delectable chicharrón and the sweetest owner on earth, Gloria Cecilia Ramirez."

Medellin Colombia

"Probably ranks as the most unhealthy Colombian food available, however the flavor is delicious and definitely worth trying. Some of the best chicharróns can be found at restaurant Doña Gloria in Envigado to the south of Medellin, worth the journey."

Medellin City Services

"Head to Envigado, a municipality adjacent to Medellín’s El Poblado district, for a lunchtime stop at La Gloria de Gloria, a casual corner restaurant that serves up some of the best chicharrón in, quite possibly, the world. These crispy strips of pork rind are deep fried and served with hearty helpings of rice, beans, chorizo, plantain and more."

Latin Hosts

"It is a crispy, crunchy and unforgettable pork feast. Come and enjoy the informal atmosphere in a truly authentic paisa location with authentic paisas as this is where the locals come to pig out on chicharrones."

Sara Hincapie

"Gloria ‘s owner, good-natured and witty, greeted us personally. Then, we ordered chicharron and Aguardiente. Everything was exquisite, but I must say that what really captivated me was the pork, for my taste, it was perfect."

Caroline Lascom

"Aspiring connoisseurs of chicharrón (pork rinds) 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. 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."
