Edit: if you've never been to south Florida, or you have never been around Dominican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban people you can just say that lol. Ask anyone from south Florida or those countries to get you some chicharrones and this is what you'll get. In fact all you to do is Google the word "chicharrones" and this comes up
Chicharrones from La Casita Tropical in Hollywood, Florida. These are the best chicharrones I've ever had in my life. The skin is done perfectly, crunchy and not tough. The meat is tender, the fat is melted. Just seasoned with a little salt (as far as I can tell? Maybe there's something else like msg but it's mild). You taste the pork and the pork fat because the seasoning is light. With a little spicy Filipino vinegar called Pinakurat this is high on my list of perfect foods.

That’s the meatiest chicharrones I’ve ever seen.
I dont think those chicharrons got chicharroned enough.
Carnitas
This isn’t chicharrones. This is puerco frito with some fat.
Bruh that aint chicharrone lol
Are the chicharrones in the room with us?
As a white boy born and raised in south florida, that ain’t chicharrones. Go to a Mexican market meat counter that fries their own. I know you’re in Hollywood but there’s a Mexican market in Pompano called La Ranchera Meat Market off 6th Street. They have some damn good house made chicharrones
I like how OP is just doubling down on how much more they think they know than everyone else lol.
Don’t worry bro we all start somewhere
Looks drier than dessert pussy
Too much Chich!
These are not what chicharrones are supposed to look like whatsoever. Sure its what this place calls chicharrones, but this place does them very poorly.
Thats.. a fried pork belly.
chicharrones is the fatback part..this looks really yummy, but it’s not at all, in any country chicharrones, they’re screwing with you, or you misunderstood.
La Casita Tropical in Hollywood, Florida is confirmed booty cheeks

How does one manage to cook such fatty meat until it’s dry?! That takes a 4 year degree in culinary school to know exactly what not to do, then to do it to the comical extreme.
Definitely can see how they are Chicharron after a few quick google searches of Cuban/Dominican based dishes. Wish they were crispier though. Doesn’t seem too crispy from the pictures.
Those are not chicharrones. Chicharrones is like 90% rendered pork fat with very little meat. Source: the 60 year old Hispanic lady who made some chicharrones for me this morning.
My abuelos were from Mexico. One of my uncles married a cubana. I knew there were Caribbean chicharrones as soon as I saw them! I love them too and I like the different spices they use.
Puerto Rican here: those look awesome and we call them chicharrones. Váyanse al carajo todos los que piensan diferente!
Gross
I’ve only had the Mexican variety, very good carneceria where I’m from, never seen those before. They look good though
To all you idiots saying there seen chicharrones, you have no clue what you’re talking about. These are Caribbean chicharrones. My tia Inez used to make them. They’re are way different than the chicharrones my abuelita made. Meaty and spiced differently. But they’re still chicharrones and they’re DELICIOUS. that being said, there’s about a 1/2 dozen or so different versions of chicharrones that Mexicans make and 3or 4 different versions make with pie belly alone!then you take in all the different types from other Latin countries and you literally have dozens upon dozens of different variations! So get the fuck off your high horse and STFU!
This looks more like roasted pork belly and not chicharron tbh. Looks good! but also dry as hell.
Where’s the fatty bits?
OP is an asshole regardless of what chicarrones are. I prefer Colombian chicharrones .
