Casual joint serving Dominican fare such as mofongo and empanadas. Friendly service and staff are a highlight.
From Google Maps reviews.
is an absolute privilege for any business to get a review from me, but @krunchycueritos 🐷 left me no choice! I had to adventure all the way to Uptown Manhattan🗽on a rumor, fully prepared to be disappointed. Plot twist: the chicharrón is spectacular. 🤩 Meaty, crisp, and so good I ate it straight up with lime 🍋🟩 and hot sauce🌶️. Great service, spectacular flavor! Who else loves chicharrón? Have you guys been here? 👇
We were craving some fresh, good, well cooked chicharron and I was recommended to come here, so we did… Let me tell you, it was the best chicharron (pork belly) I have had!!! It was freshly made, flavorful but not overly salty or flavorful, perfect combination of crispy and soft at the same time. We tried almost everything on the menu, we had *La Krunchy - Picada!*, *Duo Krunchy Empanadas*, *Krunchy in a Bag!*, and the *Yummy Tacos* and some different flavors of natural juice. Everything was SO
Such pretty decor. Pigtastic. Flavor popping.food. Great staff. They helped suggest tasty bites that we’d like. The Chicharon is crispy on the outside and juicy tender flavor on the inside. The picado platter is a must. The empanadas here had filling like no other. Seriously different filling. Chicharon, longanesa sausage, and cheese. Yummy. Yucca fries and sauces good and plantain tostones. The el crunch chili sandwich had great grilled bread and loved the cabbage and a touch of spice. Quality
