Yasss, Elsa, you are la reina all right. Well, maybe not LA reina (aka the Queen) but you're definitely royalty. The venue, at least at this location just off of 172nd, looks like they bought out an abandoned diner and started selling chicharron from the counter.
Yes, Elsa offers items on her menu other than the namesake chicharron but, it is the ONLY thing I'll come here for. Crisp yet moist fried pork belly (some still on the bone0 – Dominican style – served only with some lime wedges.
The taste of these seven layers of pork goodness is the only thing consistent here. They claim to take plastic.. but is dependent on the mood of the staff and the credit card machines. Also, the price fluctuates. During the summer, I swore it was $9/lb. The last time I went (in between ice storms) we were at $12/lb. Richelle, as of a 2011 post, lists the price at $15/lb. When you come, and you know you will if you're reading this, expect that the price will be different. But know that you will still enjoy what you paid for.
