I finally made it to the spot everyone’s been posting about to try their famous chicharrón, and let’s just say social media might have done a little too much heavy lifting for this one. While the aesthetic of the place is on point, the food didn't quite live up to the "must-try" status. Here is the breakdown: The Texture: Credit where it’s due. The crunch was legitimately impressive. It had that loud, satisfying snap you look for in a good fried pork skin. The Flavor (or lack thereof): Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. The meat was surprisingly bland, lacking even a basic salt-and-pepper seasoning. It felt like they relied entirely on the fryer to do the work without any prior marinating. The Grease Factor: It was overwhelmingly greasy. Instead of being succulent,
I think we need to stop taking these Instagram food reviewers seriously wasn't impressed I think alot of them are being paid or either there taste buds is not tasting the chicharron and the yaroa I give like a 4.1 rating it was ok I also bought the Arroz Moro I dont know if they heated it up ,Yuca hard and Tostones like the oil wasn't hot when they thru the plantains in soaked in oil was really disappointed the pica pollo The chicken is big but raw but this is not to put you guys down but to let you guys know what to work on for next time or for anyone else purchasing your food the prices are to high for the portions and quality if the quality was good wouldn't mind the price but you guys don't quality neither quantity and Uber eats be killing so we are pay alot more so please step it up
Today I visited Chicharrón y Chorizo, and let me just say — this spot brings the best of two worlds together beautifully. The fusion of Dominican and Colombian flavors is done with real care and soul. The chicharrón was incredible — juicy, savory, meaty, and seasoned just right. I paired it with yuca frita on the side, perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. I also ordered half of the baked chicken, and it was a standout. Super juicy, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they take pride in their seasoning and their craft in the kitchen. If you appreciate authentic Latin flavors, this place is a must. I highly recommend Chicharrón y Chorizo — and trust me, I’m already looking forward to my next visit.
I bought chicharron with white rice. The rice was cold and from the night before hard n COLD the chicharron was pieces of pork n didn’t look like a good chicharron. I was so dissatisfied disappointed. N disgusted. I won’t go there again. Don’t bother
Definitely the best chicharron in the NJ, super crispy and full of flavor, the staff is super friendly and courteous, definitely coming back
