Download the app for free Spanish vocabulary testLiterally devoró is «devoured», the past tense of devorar. In slang food has nothing to do with it: it is the highest praise — they came out and destroyed it.
It is a calque of English «she ate», and the follow-up travelled with it: «no dejó migajas», left no crumbs, nothing more to add. It stays informal, and it stays in the past tense: you praise something that already happened.
