Elsa La Reina Del Chicharron is a restaurant known for 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, with no accompanying sauces or dips. The sides, such as fried plantains (tostones) and fried batata, are also criticized as being flavorless, soggy, and old-tasting. The service is described as average, and the menu is said to be deceiving and unclear. The ordering system is also reported to be disorganized. Despite these issues, the restaurant is known for its authentic Dominican cuisine, and the chicharrons are the main draw for many customers. The location of the restaurant is also mentioned as being underwhelming, but the focus is on the food itself, which is the reason why Elsa is considered the "queen of chicharron" by some.
