Ingrid’s Chicharrones — Restaurant in Town of Woodbury

As a local resident who's been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new restaurant in the area, I was thrilled when Ingrid's Chicharrón finally opened its doors. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment after experiencing their offerings firsthand.

Let me start with the positives: the concept is intriguing, and the ambiance is cozy. But when it comes to the most important aspect—the food—it falls short. After three years of anticipation, I expected a culinary experience that would knock my socks off, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

First off, the food quality left much to be desired. While the dishes were decent, they lacked the depth of flavor and finesse that I've come to expect from eateries in the area. And don't even get me started on the portion sizes! For the prices they're charging, I expected hearty servings that would leave me feeling satisfied, but instead, I left feeling like I needed to stop for a snack on the way home.

What's even more frustrating is the restaurant's inconsistent hours. It's almost comical how often I've walked by, only to find the place closed. With its prime location near a school, post office, and main street, it's mind-boggling why they wouldn't take advantage of the steady stream of potential customers passing by every day.

To wrap this up, while Ingrid's Chicharrón has the potential to be a neighborhood gem, it's currently falling short of expectations. If they can step up their game in terms of taste, portion size, and reliability, they might just win me over. But until then, I'll be taking my...

The chicharrónes, a standout on the menu, are a crunchy, savory delight, perfectly capturing the essence of Dominican culinary tradition.

I visited this place to try them out. I'm very glad that I did. Having this type of food available this far from the city is a huge perk. The location was very clean and presentable. The dining area looked neat and appeared well kept. I ordered some chicharron with tostones, and it was perfect. Not salty or over seasoned. Fresh and just the right amount. I also ordered roast pork with cheese mofongo. The mofongo was soft and very flavorful. The fried cheese complemented the mofongo very well and added a softness to the mofongo that created a nice texture. We also had a chicharron mofongo that did not disappoint. They had a hot bar with some items ready for serving. They also had a nice variety of drinks both to serve and bottled. One constructive comment I would like to make is that I would like to eat my meal in other than paper plates. I feel it would bring more elegance and class to the place if non paper plates and non plastic silverware were used. This was a bit distasteful. Nonetheless, the food taste and quality were amazing, and I was greatly satisfied. I highly recommend and will be back again to try more...
