Paloren is a small, family-run eatery tucked away on a quiet side street in Medellín, known for serving some of the best bandeja paisa in the city. The portions are generous, the beans are cooked just right, and the chicharrón stays crispy even under the heap of rice and plantain. Locals pack the plastic tables at lunch, and the owner often comes by to ask if you want a second round of fresh-squeezed limeade. It’s the kind of place where the menu hasn’t changed in years because nobody wants it… paloren
