Ingrid’s Chicharrones

While visiting my daughter in Chester, NY, we were deciding where to go for lunch around 1:00 PM. She asked me to check Yelp, and I’m genuinely glad I did. After reading the reviews on Yelp and Google, it was clear this place was something special. About a 20-minute drive later, we arrived at Ingrid’s Chicharrones, and we were immediately welcomed by Ingrid herself, which made us feel right at home.

The space is small and simple, but don’t let that fool you, the food and hospitality more than make up for it. Ingrid truly lives up to her reputation as a one-woman powerhouse. She runs the place with care and efficiency, and it shows in the quality of the food. Everything came out fresh and absolutely delicious.

I ordered the mofongo with pork belly, and it was outstanding, so good I was already craving more after finishing it. A quick tip: half a pound of pork belly sounds like a lot, but it’s not, so if you really want to enjoy it, go for the full pound. No regrets.

One small downside: the place was very cold during our visit. They do have portable heaters, but it was still noticeably chilly. That said, it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

This is the kind of place you remember and look forward to returning to. Every time I visit my daughter from Atlanta, GA, this will be a must-stop. If you’re looking for authentic Dominican food made with care and heart, this place delivers.

LET ME TELL YOU!!!! Whewwww!!!!! This place is a lil piece of love because not only is the food so fire so is the service and the woman who makes the food, you can tell she makes it with love !!!!! I’m thankful to finding this place food, service and FRESH!!! You will have to be a bit patient but is elite food ! Trust me when I tell you go and try it ! Thank me later I posted pics of all I bought !

We were on our way to Pure Terror Scream Park from NJ. We found this dominican spot. Their food is high quality and the atmosphere is friendly. When we come up here definitely stopping by. Its like looking to your favorite aunts place.

Some of the best Dominican food I’ve ever had. Ingrid is an incredible chef and so sweet. The prices are super fair and everything was so delicious. Amazing mofongo and empanadas.

Small restaurant with free street parking available on a moderate to low traffic area.
Entrance is somewhat not wheelchair accessible. There’s a step in front of the entrance.
The lady behind counter believe to be Ingrid herself bilingual, helpful, easily approachable person.
Restaurant is focused on takeouts with a few seating options. 3-4 tables inside.
Bathrooms are NOT working. Although they are in a high volume successful business that’s a “-1 star” for me.
Overall inside the restaurant is clean, quiet and moderately comfortable.
Food is great quality, fresh and adequately portioned vs priced compared to similar restaurants.
Menu is still a to-go handout paper menu which indoor sitting menu could be provided.
We had chicharonnes, beef empanadas, and alcapurias. Overall satisfaction well deserved a 5 star in its category of restaurants.
I definitely recommend for a dinner or takeout, BUT one should call before arriving the restaurant to confirm whether they have enough chicharonnes; they run out!!!
