Rice & Pernil was very flavorful. The chicharron to me was bland but very well prepared. It needed more seasoning.

My last visit to Elsa La Reina del Chicharrón was nothing short of amazing. Elsa truly lives up to her name the queen of chicharrón! perfectly seasoned pork, and the flavor doesn’t disappoint. The chicharrón was crispy, juicy, and full of that authentic sazón that’s hard to find anywhere else in the city.

You can tell everything is made with love and pride. The service was friendly, fast, and made me feel like family. If you’re in New York and haven’t been to Elsa yet, you’re seriously missing out. She’s simply the best nobody does it like Elsa!

I really wanted to like this place, but it was not possible. The staff were all very nice, but the food wasn’t good.

The meat was dry to the bone and extremely salty. It was hard for me to eat and even harder for me to enjoy.

I don’t really remember what the other dish was, but it was the opposite. It was bland and unappetizing.

It’s not meant to be a dine in restaurant, but there is a table that you can sit at. It’s worth mentioning that there is no air-conditioning and in front of you is a dumpster.

They have almost all the Dominican Classic foods you could ever ask for. Fresh! An area to sit and they do take out as well.

The Mofongo is absolutely bussin

The chicharrón here is really good, crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying if you’re a fan. Unfortunately, the service takes away from the overall experience. This is about the third time I’ve had a really unpleasant interaction with the lady at the register, and this time I even witnessed her being rude to a customer over the phone.

It’s disappointing, because the food really does deliver, but the negative attitude at the register leaves a bad taste. If you’re going just for the chicharrón, it’s fine. But the service makes the whole visit less enjoyable. Hopefully the customer experience improves, because the food deserves better representation.

Massive, delicious portion of Pernil w/arroz con gandules (braised pork shoulder with a side of yellow rice and pigeon peas) and the local staple, chicharron (fried pork belly on the bone)!

Yes, I had both, dont judge until you eat here!
The meat is tender, the skin is crispy, and the fat is sweet and juicy! Best chicharron in the Boroughs by far from a local business queen. Try it!

….why are you still reading this?!

Great, unassuming place for authentic Dominican food. The portions are very large and well priced. I had the chicharron and mofongo and they were both delicious.

I’ve heard that the food here is quite good; unfortunately, I couldn’t try it due to the incredibly poor service. I asked the older woman at the counter if they would be preparing any fresh chicharrón, as the one on display looked really dry and dull. She responded that it was all they had. I had to repeat myself several times to get her to prepare me a pound of it, as she seemed more interested in the conversation happening next to her. When she asked what I wanted with the chicharrón, I told her multiple times, but they still wrapped my food without the batatas. As I was telling the other lady who was ringing me up that the batatas were missing, a fresh platter of chicharrón arrived. When I respectfully questioned it, the older lady serving me became very rude and insisted that I take it because she had already cut it up I walked out without my order as the service was ridiculously terrible and I felt beyond disrespected.
This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this; the older lady usually has a very negative attitude, and the service is consistently poor. I will not be returning nor would I recommend this place to anyone.

Ordered mofongo con chicharrones, which was huge, filling, and super tasty. It came with a nice, warm red sauce on the side that wasn’t very spicy. Fair warning, I tried to order via the special’s name on the menu (mofongo a la reina) but the lady behind the counter had no idea what I was referring to, so probably just best to describe what you want, in Spanish.
