Elsa La Reina Del Chicharron is a restaurant known for its authentic Dominican cuisine, particularly its chicharrons or fried pork belly. While some reviews praise the deliciousness of the chicharrons, others find them to be dry and lacking in flavor. The sides, such as fried plantains (tostones) and fried batata, are also sometimes criticized as being flavorless, soggy, and old-tasting. The service is described as average, and the menu can be confusing. However, the chicharrons remain the main draw for many customers, who consider the restaurant's owner, Elsa, the "queen of chicharron." The location of the restaurant is also mentioned as being underwhelming, but the focus remains on the food itself, which is the reason why Elsa La Reina Del Chicharron is a popular destination for those seeking delicious and authentic Dominican cuisine.
