Victors Cafe Cuban Restaurant

I recently visited Victors Café, and it was a really nice experience! From the moment you walk in, the warm and cozy ambiance makes you feel right at home. I appreciated how they seated me at my table even as I waited for my guest to arrive—a thoughtful touch. The decor was spot on, adding to the inviting atmosphere.The service was great, and our waiter was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious! I had the salmon with white rice and beans and yuca with mojo, which was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. However, I did find the portions to be a bit on the smaller side.We shared a flan de huevo for dessert—it wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it wasn’t bad either. Overall, I’d definitely go back for another visit. The cozy vibe, excellent service, and tasty food make it a worthwhile spot!

Victor’s Cafe located in the theater district is Outstanding! The food is exquisite, atmosphere can be both energetic and tranquil, service is impeccable. It’s exactly what you need when enjoying their amazing entrees and appetizers. Bonus they can accommodate large parties

Lechon Asado was excellent. Moist, plentiful and tasty. Lechon means baby pig, so that kinda scared me, but I couldnt really tell the difference between peril and this. They accommodated my no cilantro request (because it tastes like soap to me). Chose to accompany the pork with the seasonal vegetable option which came out as a sizzling cast iron of broccoli, Brussel sprouts, carrots, onions, mushroom and peppers. Well worth it.Overall cost very reasonable.Dont drink but the alcoholic menu seemed extensive with lots of named choices on the cocktail menu.

Our meals were fantastic. We shared the appetizer platter and “duo” entree to enjoy a wide swath of the menu. Delicious. The atmosphere and service were fine, except that it has the pace of eating at a diner. We were in and out of the restaurant in 45-50 minutes. Probably not unexpected for Times Square.

Victor’s Cuban Cuisine offers an exceptional dining experience rooted in the rich tapestry of Cuban flavors. Starting with the Empanadas de Pollo, a perfect balance of flaky pastry and braised all-natural chicken, each bite was a delightful mix of warmth and savory goodness. The Pollo Campestre, slow-roasted in a hearty wine reduction with potatoes and carrots, provided comforting, homestyle flavors, while the Pollo Manigua, Cuban adobo roasted chicken breast served with sweet potato purée and a fresh watercress salad, was tender and flavorful, elevated by the mojo vinaigrette.The Fried Sweet Plantains were the ideal side, sweet and perfectly caramelized. Paired with the traditional Black Beans and Rice, the meal felt authentically Cuban, delivering the soul of the island in every bite. The Havana Cocktail and Mojito Clasico were refreshing, embodying the vibrant essence of Cuban culture with each sip.Victor’s dedication to weaving together Spanish, African, and Caribbean culinary traditions was evident throughout. Restaurant captain and our server, Armando Contolapiedra, truly made the service fly, ensuring a timely yet personalized dining experience that allowed us to comfortably make our Broadway show. His impeccable stewardship added an incredible touch to our experience, leaving us eager to return.

This was a really great dining experience. My friends and I chose this place based off the reviews to have our reunion. The ambiance, the decor, the friendly staff, the food and the drinks were amazing. I arrived about 30 mins late for my reservation and was very happy that they were able to still seat us. I ordered the signature drink, Coconut Mojito, which was a first, and BABY, it was the very best mojito I have ever had. Soooooo refreshing! Its so good that I am planning to return with my fiancé just so he can taste this drink. I ordered the fried Branzino (it was the special that night) and I can tell you, it was everything. It was the kind of dish that you want to make it last so you chew on it slow. I had to savor the moment. Even the black beans (served family style) has a very unique and very tasteful flavor that is sticking to my memory. Everything that was served, including the appetizers (I had the empanadas de pollo and tropical chips) are memorable. Give yourself a special treat and visit this restaurant. You will have a worthwhile experience. I plan to visit again before this month is over. So sorry for missing taking pics of my food, once that food hit the table, we went all the in. Lol!

This place is amazing. The food was delicious, we have tostones for app and I recommend it 100%.The service was the best .So please if you are visiting NY and you wanna eat in a very good place go there .We were 4 . We have 2 app , 4 entres and desert and coffee and the check was $ 250 .

The food was mediocre,the food and portions were tiny and overpriced for the food being so bland. The service was really slow we waited 20 mins for appetizers and even longer for the actual dishes. The server we saw a total of two times,wouldn’t recommend.The food looks stunning but tastes like garbage. There steak with chimichurri I had high hopes for it was hard to chew,tasted like smoke on the grill and had no flavor. The paella was just fishy and the Cuban sandwiches were sweet from the buns and lacking flavor from the actually meat.

Had good time there for lunch. Everything was perfect: good service and delicious food. I absolutely loved my strawberry mojito.

The food and dining experience lived up to its excellent reputation! The food was deliciously well seasoned and authentic Cuban. The ambience wonderful and the service impeccable.I initially reserved for 3 but when I arrived I unexpectedly encountered 2 friends. The host was so gracious and offered a larger table to accommodate 5 of us.We were served immediately and on time. We were attending a play on Broadway and had more than enough time to walk to the theater.I highly recommend Victors Cafe and cannot wait to return to NYC.

This place is an exceptional Cuban cuisine restaurant that offers an unforgettable dining experience. The staff are lovely and attentive, making every guest feel welcome. Conveniently located close to the road, it’s easy to find and access.The menu is filled with authentic Cuban dishes, from flavorful ropa vieja to mouthwatering Cuban sandwiches, all prepared to perfection. During dinner time, the live music adds a vibrant touch to the ambiance.The bar is fantastic, offering a great selection of cocktails, including superb mojitos. The candle-lit setting creates a cozy and romantic atmosphere. Plus, the restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible ♿ ensuring comfort for all.#NYC #Manhattan #Google #GoogleMaps #CubanResaurant #WheelchairAccesdible #LetsGuide #3B+AccessibiltyContributions #CubanCuisine #Travel

The food was solid, but the service and price weren’t.With no alcohol, I spent nearly $200 on three entrees and two appetisers for the table.The camarones enchilados is a highlight, and seems to be of good value but skip on the empanadas, tostones, and paellas.The service was low energy and infrequent, though they did remember to fill up our water cups which I appreciated. I did however not appreciate being intimidated when it came to tipping - the waiter held the machine and it autoselected to a high percentage. It was just an uncomfortable experience.

Really good food!! Every dish was superbly delicious. We emptied them in no time. Loved the plantains.Waiters were quite friendly and energetic. Restroom was clean. Pricing was fine. Music of moderate volume. Decor was cute

The food is tasty and the portions were good. Got what we expected and I don’t get Cuban food very often and not something that I would think of to get in NYC but glad we did. The drinks were good and then Churros! Must get. Very delicious.

The opulence of this venue is wonderful. The fans shuffling amid the plants hanging from the well lit ceiling is so therapeutic. This cafe is situated in the heart of time square within walking distance of all the greatest theaters. The portion sizes will reflect the prices and I am so great full for that. We left well fed and a little boozed! Try the Bacardi rum coco mojito and thank me later. Our server Victor was very professional and always helpful with fresh napkins and drink suggestions. I will most definitely be back for more of those delicious eggs Benedict and brisket.Wonderful job everyone. Have a great day!

We decided to come here in the spur of the moment, quickly made reservations and walked over. They were organized and seated people in a timely manner. Those without a reservation they gave them realistic wait times and/or let them know what seating would be available. This is already a step up from the location we left.We had a great time here. Our waiter Diego was awesome! Diego made the dining experience that much better with such a friendly Pleasant personality. Talk about knowing good customer service! A+++As previously mentioned this was a spur of the moment visit due to leaving from a different establishment so we made last minute reservations that were accepted and honored without issue. We arrived a few minutes early but were informed that it wasnt a problem and we would be seated soon. The restaurant may look small at first glance but its actually pretty spacious. We were seated in the area with the skylight which was great since it was still light out.And the food!? Awesome!!Our table spread consisted of: maduros, tostones, Ropa Vieja with white rice and black beans, Arroz Con Pollo, ensalada de palmitos y mandarinas, ceviche de camarónes, and flan. Everything was delicious! The ropa vieja was flavorful and the beef wasnt so shredded it looked weird or inedible. Even the black beans were good. It wasnt just a side of black beans plopped down in a bowl. The maduros and tostones both made just right! The maduros wasnt mushy or under cooked and the tostones werent over cooked and rock hard. The arroz con pollo had nice juicy pieces of chickenThis was a plus because we were trying it out during restaurant week to see if we would want to come back in the future. We also tried cocktails and they were the white sangria, the coconaty mojito, and the Hemingway daiquiri (which isnt like a typical daiquiri). Plus we didnt at any point feel rushed which is a bonus!After a hectic frustrating day coming here was a great ending and a pleasant visit.We are definitely going to include Victors Café in our regular rotation!

Romantic setting, excellent service. Very attentive. Made sure we werent late for our Broadway show. Cuban Food was superb. had Smaller portions but very filling. We had the guava dessert and it did not disappoint.

Nice vibe. Relaxed yet professional. Food was delicious- we had the pollo campestre and the wine reduction sauce was hearty and savory. Live Cuban music rounded out tht evening.

We were there with a larger group for birthday party dinner. Love the decor and atmosphere of the entire place. The food was delicious. Caesar and his team were exceptional, catering quickly to all our needs.

Dinned here prior to a broadway show; the service was beyond excellent and the timing was perfect.We selected items off of the summer restaurant week menu which was a great value. The ropa vieja, black beans and flan were so good!

Excellent food, the snapper was amazing. Presentation was very appealing of both food and drinks. The service was very efficient and everything delivered and removed in a timely manner. They cleaned up the table cloth in between courses as well. The staff was appropriately friendly, polite and helpful. Reservation are highly recommended, be sure and make them several days in advance. This place is deservedly popular as well as very conveniently located to Times Square and Broadway.

Continuing my birthday party at one of my very favorite Cuban restaurants. This place is the real deal. My croquettes were savory, creamy and crispy. My mojito was like liquid candy. My paella is what a paella should be, a taste of the ocean while sitting in Manhattan. This is and has been one of my very favorite places for authentic Cuban food. A must do on anyone’s list.

The Cuban sandwich is heaven, as is the tres leches. That’s all folks.

Food was amazing, absolutely delicious.I enjoyed the atmosphere and the kindness of the servers... It was my first time going and it was definitely amazing..cant wait to go again !!

Reason for going: ♀️/♀️ Date NightPros:Great food/portions with reasonable pricesGood musicPretty atmosphere/decor for InstagramAttentive/respectful staffMinor concerns:Little to no moving space(they pack everyone pretty tight)Bathrooms are downstairs which may be a concern to those with mobility issues.Little loud insideOverall:I would go again.Great place for a date, but wouldnt recommend as first date because it is difficult to have intimate/quiet conversation over the music.I highly recommend a reservation as the place was extremely packed on a Wednesday night.📷 @datasianjan

Great atmosphere with friendly staff. Relaxed environment for close family or parties. In the front they have a “Cuban lounge” with live music! The food was amazing! We split arrow con pollo and shrimp with red sauce. All entrees come with beans and rice. And we were soo full. You must get the guava desert!! The lava cake was okay but I would def recommend the guava desert. I can’t wait to go back. They sell out of paella if you eat late.

Had to leave early for theater and they saved our order for return later. Great friendly service ! Music by Cuban guitarist and singer excellent. Very professional

Great dine in experience. Not a five star because it is fairly loud inside. The food tastes great. The appetizers are a bit overcooked BUT! The Cubano is on point! The pork entree is very good as well!Would recommend IF you are a huge fan of cubanos and pork!The seasonal mojito is fantastic!

Visited Victors Café on the last Sunday of NYC Restaurant Week and I was astonished by the mind blowing customer service.Our waiters name was also Victor, and he made our brunch so wonderful, with his magnificent manners and attention.The fixed menu was marvelous and so exquisite.We had 3 courses and there were NO complaints about anything. I started with the Empanadas, my boyfriend had the Croquetas, then we both chose the Cuban Eggs Benedict and when we were done they proceeded to bring our desserts and asked if we wanted coffee or anything else. I, of course, had a cuban coffee, my boyfriend had a cappuccino.Our visit to this restaurant was beyond perfection and we definitely wish to come back and try more menu items!!!PS: Shootout to the restaurant owner or manager, they are a Cuban restaurant and I loved hearing every team member speaking Spanish at some point. Loved it!!!!

The food was delicious!!We made a reservation on Friday afternoon for the same night, when we arrived we had a 5 minute wait for our table of two. Once seated in the packed restaurant our order was taken and the food followed almost immediately! We took our time to enjoy each course and the waiter paid attention to us the whole time!!! Definitely a great place to attend before a show!!

Live music at dinner. Beautiful place and excellent food.

This was our food highlight after 4 nights in NYC! The food was so flavourful and presented beautifully. The tropical chips were a hit with both kids and adults as were the Pollo Campestre and Lechon Asado. Above anything else, the service from Armando was exceptional. He was so attentive to us and my kids, so much so that my kids were talking about him days later. Highly recommend Victor’s Cafe!

Victors might not need another 5-Star review, but the staff and their service were beyond exceptional. Great atmosphere. Arrived for early dinner before a show. It was an excellent start to the evening! Live music the bar as we left, wonderful.

The food was amazing!! Our server was attentive cant wait to return to try other dishes.

Very nice restaurant, the food is good, the restaurant is cosy and the staff is very nice and helpful! We had a good experience.The food arrived super fast, I am not used to it but everything was tasty.We had 2 drinks + 2 main course + 1 dessert for $115

Love this place!! Appetizers and drinks were delicious. Mojitos are a must to have. Empanadas were filled with chicken had a great spicy kick to them!Great service and fast!

Id heard about Victors but could never go. So, on a Friday, my husband and I went. The host was friendly and seated us quickly, although we did not have a reservation. Our waiter was patient and engaging as this was our first visit. I had the encrusted snapper and my husband had chicken. We ordered drinks and I liked that the Mojito didnt have a strong alcohol flavor (a sign that it was mixed well). There was a family at the next table and the dad had oxtails. His food looked so good that I took a picture.The downside was that we mixed up my desert order so I had to send it back for the correct item (it was still missing the coco ice cream). The flan de huevo was basic. Each table receives white rice and black beans. I prefer my black beans more seasoned. Then there was the cost. For gaucamole, 2 entrees, 2 cocktails, 1 bottle of water for the table, and one dessert, it cost about $200 (including tax and tip).Victors will be a treat because weekly would be over $800 a month for two people.

I thought this place was excellent. Definitely the best food we had during our stay in midtown. Owner was very friendly as well.

The food is amazing. The portions were huge. The place is stunning and everyone there is very helpful and welcoming. I have to go again.

Nice place. Ambiance is nice to enjoy good company but food isnt that good, portions arent the greatest and you dont get what you pay for.After a $300+ bill (1 app, 4 entrees, 2 beers, 1 cocktail) I left hungry.Churrasco was good but plain. Probably the worst red snapper Ive ever had.$45 for the app (commercial pic included). But as you can see from my own pics, it isnt as nice as advertised.I get you pay for location, I didnt mind paying $45 for a pitcher of sangria (at the bar, not inlcuded in $300+ bill) but there is another Cuban restaurant within 10 blocks, that has 2 floors, bigger portions, similar prices but youre stuffed when you leave.I wouldnt go back, just my personal preference/opinion.Staff was great though. Extremely attentive.

Salmon was excelente! Great location before or after a Broadway show. Our waiter asked us if we were going to see a performance to ensure we had enough time to enjoy our dining experience. Entertainment started around 6pm on a Saturday evening.

The food and service were amazing. The ropa vieja and salmon carnival are delicious and the guava cobbler is the best thing over ever tasted. Mojitos are a bit pricey considering how much ice is in them, but they are so good.

This was a very good meal. The portions look smaller but I was full after I finished so I’m happy. Very quality meal for the price.

This is the perfect pre-theatre spot! My family and I ate at Victor’s before seeing a play and we were incredibly delighted with the service, menu and drink options. I had a light whitefish complimented by a fresh mango-avocado spread and potatoes. For dessert, we shared Cuban donuts that went in a second because they were both doughy and crisp.

Best ropa Viejo that I have ever had! The staff were warm, attentive and very professional, the intimate environment of the restaurant was impressive even though it was busy. My 1st time here, I cannot wait to return!!

Delicious Cuban food. Highly recommend the sampler platter to try different flavors. The Ropa Vieja was juicy, tasty, and perfectly seasoned. But the highlight was the Guayabitas de Maria!!!

We came to celebrate a friends birthday. The place is really easy to find that was a huge plus because it was pouring outside today.The ambiance is perfect its really nice inside and they had a live band by the bar tonight,they were great. I had a red sangria, to me it was good but if you do t like sweet drinks. You wont like it. One of my friends doesnt like sweet drinks, she liked it but said it tasted like juice to her. I noticed a lot of people had Different types of Mojitos so i say try one cause its probably something they do well atNow the food was ok. For the price I thought it would be better. But it was ok. My friends lrk was good. Another friend said his steak was ok but lacking. I had Arroz con pollo a la chorrera. I was ok and it was lacking and for $25 i wish i would have picked something else.

FANTASTIC!!! Loved the atmosphere and all of the staff were so friendly. The food was heavenly and everything so fresh. We started with a sampler appetizer, had the snapper ceviche, then the flank steak chimichuri and red snapper fried with plantain crust 😍😍 nothing disappointed! Typical NY prices so it’s spendy, but very authentic Cuban fare. Top notch!

Great atmosphere and cool decor. The live music is a nice touch. The good news stops there however. Portions were small for food that seemed to be more about presentation than taste. The waiter was extraordinarily rude and wouldnt fill up drinks and gave off a bad attitude for every reason. The host treated the group like children. Overall not as impressed as I expected.

Their service was so good.Someone will be in the toilet opening the faucet and giving you paper

So good! The restaurant is decorated so beautifully, my friend and I were in awe. Made me really want to travel to Cuba. Looking at the menu I wasn’t sure what I wanted to ordered some of the items sounded a little odd but trust me everything was delicious! The plantain chips were def a plus! Try the white sangria with a Cuban twist. Impeccable!

Went there for tapas and drink before the show. Tried their La Cubana with Aguacate Relleno and loved both of them! Caring server and staffs make the cafes vibrant atmosphere even more spectacular.

The drinks were watered down, absolutely NO alcohol $18 a drink, We were told they are made the same for everyone. Over priced tasteless food. Taking advantage of NYC tourists unfortunately. Will Never Go there again.

Amazing and Authentic Cuban food! The atmosphere is classy and the service was top notch. I highly reccomend the Ropa Veja.

3.5* the food was very overpriced what it was and portions were quite small. also wasn’t as flavourful as I was expecting, but the guacamole was good. Atmosphere was cool and staff were kind and helpful.

We came back tonight after originally visiting pre-pandemic. Service was exceptional and the food and drinks were amazing. I want to praise our servers, in particular Vicente & Shiante for a wonderful evening. They were so warm and welcoming. We will certainly be back!

To begin, this is NOT a review of the restaurant itself - Why - Because I never got to eat thereAfter calling twice, and not getting a human being during both peak and off-peak hours, I left messages both times to return my call, so I could make a reservation for a party of 8 peopleI dont expect a reply on here, but if the OWNER is reading this, I hope this is something you can fix, as you are leaving money on the table thru careless management. Also, keep in mind, that you never get a 2cd chance to make a first impression, so you have likely lost a customer (who lives just a few blocks away) for life

Portions are very small for what you paid for, if you live in a Hispanic or near Hispanic you can get this for a lot less. The portion in this pic alone was almost 30 and the empanada were …okI think they just trying to pay rent to stay here nothing really stood out, not to mention the full ice glass of mojito I got. If you got money to burn on ok, small portion food that leaves you hungry this is your place.

I am from Miami so I have had my fair share of Cuban food and I gotta say this place was delicious. Excellent service, great ambiance for a date night as well.Recommendations: Get the chicken empanadas, they are so flavorful and juicy. Sit in the bar area- a band plays live music Fridays from 6-11pm :)

Beautiful restaurant with what feels like an open courtyard/ terrace in the back boasting some of the most tender ropa vieja ever along with some wonderful cocktails.Worth checking out for lunch during NyC restaurant week especially.

We just stopped to have drinksAll the food smells made me regret eating the pizza on the way down broadway!! So eat the food too if you go!!We will be back.

The food and drinks were delicious. Service was great. Decor and music was good. Was hoping to hear the live band but overall a very good time. I will definitely return.

Cutest vibe, attentive and fantastic service, flavorful food. Clean beautiful restaurant. I love ropa vieja but it’s hard to find back in the Midwest and hard to beat Miami level Cuban food. This place hit my craving. So happy we were introduced to Victor’s

Such fabulous service and everything we ordered was delicious! The bar scene post-Broadway before dinner — get the original Mojito— is a cure-all for anything. Just bummed that they can close the stunning room in the back before dinner service ends, not exactly the same experience in the other rooms. Will be back!

Delicious, fresh food and yummy drinks. Great music. A place to relax and enjoy a wonderful dinner with family and friends.

Such delish food!! So many veggie options! Loved itN

This is a must before or after a show even as a destination restaurant. The food is delicious! Brunch or dinner you wont be disappointed

What a treat: I hardly ever give 5 stars, but this was deserved. food is full of flavor, well presented, in perfect portions and hot! (why do restaurants serve cold?) Service was attentive and quick without rushing (and I love the no-touch credit card process) The multiple levels in the backroom keep the table-to-table noise way down. not laden down with oils or harsh spices, the flavor depth is subtle, discoverable, almost fun. We enjoyed it so much we ordered dessert! (yes the appetizer special is a good choice for a group, but be careful not to fill up before the rest of the meal)

Armando and all the servers made our dining special. The music was delightful. We will be returning.

This place deserves every star. Fantastic food, fantastic service, fantastic ambiance. Our server was Aaron, who has to be the friendliest guy in New York. It was me and the wifes first time eating Cuban cuisine and he explained what every dish was without a hint of annoyance. I ordered the arroz con pollo (which is gluten-free), and my wife ordered the Taste of Cuba. There wasnt a single dish that didnt blow our minds. When I return to New York, I wont miss the opportunity to eat at Victors.

I have been to Victor’s Cafe many, many times, have recommended it to many of my friends, even had my sister’s Baby Shower here because I loved it so much. However I went there this week and was disappointed with the food and service! When we arrived, the wait was 30 minutes - which for us was fine as we did not have a reservation. Once we sat down it took over 45 minutes for our food to come out, our meals were luke warm and they forgot part of my nieces order. The manager was nice enough to comp the missing item. However don’t think I will return or recommend it to anyone in the future - the place appears to have changed in service and food quality. Not worth the price.

The pork was claimed to have been roasted for 48 hours. It was very tender and subtle in taste but went well with the black beans and rice paired with yuca and oinions. If you have never tried Cuban food, this is the place to try it. Warm and inviting atmosphere, live Cuban music, and excellent staff makes this place a must in NY city.

Amazingly authentic. Enjoyed the traditional pork dish and plaintain chips! The guava crumble was a new dessert...very sweet but so delicious.

They have the best black beans i have ever had! Everything we ordered was hot, fresh, and super delicious. A definite gem and a must for local or travelers!

Ceviche was pretty good with the mango and avocado. The chicken empanadas needed more flavor and seasoning. Quesadillas were too oily.

Beautiful decor and delicious food! Fantastic ambiance. Great place for before a show on Broadway!

My friend and I decided to go to Victor’s Cafe for lunch and honestly it was an amazing decision. The appetizers are delicious and the chicken was soft and well seasoned. Although I usually don’t like beans this place genuinely changed my mind upon them which honestly just goes to show how great their food is. The cool thing about the atmosphere of this restaurant is that there are two of them, in the very beginning it’s a cozy and dim lighted room with tables set and waiters waiting to serve you, as you walk further you will see the second atmosphere which is brighter and more ocean inspired. I really felt like I was on vacation coming here!

I ordered the oxtail dish. Husband ordered the flank steak dish (the picture of the meat in a little dish). You take the meat and spread it out over the rice).Both were perfectly made. Coming back here again.

Amazing food and top notch service. Very popular place so make reservations.

Best tres leches I’ve ever had!

Food atmosphere everything was perfect!Perfect place to celebrate bdays!

Victors never disappoints. Vaca Frita and a Mojito will always do the trick. Food is always perfect and the wait staff is top notch. Serving sizes have diminished a little over the last few years...but that seems to be the norm everywhere.

If you are looking for Cuban food in a fine dining setting, this is the spot! Great service and atmosphere.

Went here for a dinner before a Broadway show and loved it! The white wine sangria had guava and other fruit in it - definitely recommend.

I have always liked Victors Cafe and frequent this location for special occasions with my family. On the most recent visit, I was disappointed. I ordered Ropa Vieja with sweet plantains and the food came out of the kitchen cold. I asked the Server for it to be heater up and he was very apologetic, took it to the kitchen and returned about 5 minutes later with the same cold sweet plantains.

Our party of six - 3 couples - was a surprise celebration for one of our party. Four of us arrived early and were seated. Many restaurants require the entire party to be there before being seated. They took our request to greet the remaining couple as if it was a reservation for two. When they arrived, they were brought to our table. Thats excellent customer service.Most of us ordered from the restaurant week menu. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The flan may have been the best Ive ever had.We stayed well beyond their 90 minute policy without complaint. Granted, we were their at a time when they werent terribly busy. Still, the staff was exceptionally accommodating.

A few weeks back I came on a date here, and today I took my mother, brother and sister in law to lunch here before seeing a show nearby. Each of these times, the food has been fantastic, the vibe has been right, and the service has been outstanding. Francine, Jonathan, Charles, and Johan were remarkable. I highly recommend this place!

Everything was great, but the standout was the flan! I need to figure out a copycat.

We were 15 minutes late to our reservation, and they still found us a table. The sangria was amazing, The food was delicious. As soon as we sat down they asked us if we had a show to get to, and were very cognizant of the time. Overall a wonderful experience cant wait to go back.

Every time we are in the city, we go to Victors Café. It’s my top Cuban restaurant in NYC, offering a lively atmosphere and vibrant decor that make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.Their cocktails, especially the Mojitos, are perfectly crafted and refreshing.Service is always excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. Live Cuban music adds to the festive ambiance, making each visit a memorable experience. Victors Café truly captures the essence of Cuban dining in NYC. Highly recommended!

This place was recommended by a co-worker in VA. I have no idea why this place only has a 4.4 review rating, it’s literally a 5.0, a 10 if there was a 10. Best cuban food I have ever eaten!!! We’ve eaten cuban food in the best places in Miami many times and this place beats anything I have ever eaten in Miami and around the USA!!! This will def be my go to whenever I come to NYC!!! A must try when visiting NYC!!

Love this place! The food is delicious, the waiters are so cordial, and wear the traditional chacabanas....and the live music!!😍Been here 4 or 5 times, had the chicken, churrasco and fried fish. The chicken was the best, but all were delicious! Got the tostones with mojo sauce, and flan and Cuban coffee to finish it off. Its a bit pricey, but so worth it!

Good service and Cuban food. Great decor and atmosphere. Appetizer sampler was good but not great, but nice to try so many unique things. Very good sangria, especially the white. Ropa vieja absolutely fantastic, a must-try! Churros a nice dessert option.

Victors is our favorite Cuban restaurant in the US, including places in Miami we have been. The service is attentive without hovering, we never feel rushed. The food reminds us of the best places we have eaten in the Caribbean, flavorful, the perfect balance of bright and tart with rich and savory. If you see goat or ox tail on the menu, order it. They know how to cook those meats. Save room for churros! The food was so good that I forgot to take pictures.

Very happy to visit this amazing restaurant food was beyond expectations drinks are very well made and the service was A1 our waiter Diego was outstanding thanks guys

Fantastic experience in this restaurant.staff on point with customers. Food and drinks have that warm cozy atmosphere. We also want to thank wonderful person by the ,name of Armando who kept coming to our table to make sure everything was ok. We also asked him to take a picture with us in front of restaurant which he did. I told him my Ex also had the same name. We got a hug from him. Thank you for a wonderful day in Manhattan.Rene

Felt a little bit like our server enjoyed and engaged with the table next to us a bit more, so our service was a bit boring and lacking. For example, he would be cutting up with the tables next to us, turn around and give us the check with low energy, and then turn around again to cut up with the next table. Just off-putting.The food was nice. Heavy on the plantains. Great atmosphere, and the drinks were incredible.

The food was absolutely excellent. The ambience was just as good and romantic.

We reserved Victors Cafe for a company sponsored event. Best service, food, drinks and support from this place. Best choice

It’s an okay restaurant, and no need for a sit down meal if your group wont be large enough.Larger group, like family, gets more intention, faster service in terms of receiving food, and real conversations.We were the second to sit down for a lunch after the restaurant opened; 2 big family sat down after us, but both received many plates of food before we actually had anything to eat; u can tell the difference in terms of the willingness of engaging; we didnt order any dessert, as we knew it will take longer and longer time for the person to come over to take our order, and Im tired of his dry jokes and fake smile.For Cuban food, at a lunch time, I didnt see any ceviche dish where has shrimp & white fish, but only salmon, from this only, I dont think this is Cuban enough for me.I wont be back & I will tell my friends not to.

Great Cuban food. Friendly service. Attractive dining room.

We had a fabulous dining experience here on our last night in NYC! Armando was personable, knowledgeable and obviously cared about what he was doing. Food was authentic and delicious, his recommendations spot on. Highly recommend this place!

Had dinner. Only a little noisy. Happy noisy. Pricey, but post-pandemic prices are higher, and it IS NYC. Food was very, very good. Rich well developed flavors, well presented, very Cuban. Generous but not mammoth portions. Service was friendly and thoughtful.

Been coming here for 20 yearsFood is great so is the atmosphereBut the real reason I come here year after year is Armando. We consider him family and love coming to see him.

I 1st went to VICTORS CAFE around 2008. I never forgot the class and ambience of this fine dining restaurant. I go here with people whom I consider close friends or FAMILY. Recently I went during June of 2023. It didnt disappoint as expected. It is the BEST. Not only is the food & service GREAT, but they use a plug-in scented fragrance so while youre standing outside you sniff a sweet scent of flowers!

Excellent place to have a Thanksgiving meal

Very pleasant atmosphere. Good food and pleasant service. We were here for Thanksgiving and the Cuban twist on the traditional meal was very good. Just wish they put more potatoes on the plate. The amount was really tiny.We had to wait a long time to be seated even though we had a reservation, but the manager came by to apologize, which was very nice. She also comped the coffee to make up for the wait, which I am glad she did as I found out that they charge for refills (and I really do not like when restaurants charge for refills, especially when spending upwards of $100 for dinner). Given the nice evening, and the very gracious manager, I upgraded my review to five stars.

Love the vibes here. Came here for a last minute business dinner and this place was perfect! The service was great, and the food was even better! Tasted very authentic Cuban food and would definitely come again

I visit NYC regularly and try to see a Broadway show a few times a year. Lots of options in the area but not all are great. Glad I found Victors Cafe on my last trip. More upscale atmosphere and a nice dinner before a show. The service was friendly and efficient, sangria was amazing and food was excellent. Highly recommend.

The food was good, but the portions were very small and the prices were quite high. A nice option if youre going to a show, but I wouldnt go again.Ambience/Location: 5/5 A lovely decor inside with plenty of tables. A good place to grab a drink and food if youre going to the theatreService: 5/5 Very attentive, fast and friendlyFood: 3/5 The food was good. But the portion sizes were very small for the price they were charging. I hadnt been here in years and remember the portion sizes. Its less than half of what they were but with a larger price tag.Price: 2/5 Too expensive for the type of food amd portions..

When you open the door your senses are met with an aromatic organic scent that welcomes you in further. The sounds of a live ensemble awakens you to rhythms to prepare you for the menu of delectable food choices. The ambiance continues to draw you in with casual but classic decor. The food did not disappoint it was prepared and presented exquisitely! Appetizers, main course, dessert delivered the perfect combination of flavors. Knowing this is located in the heart of the theater district the staff treated us with the attentiveness of VIPs. We were served and paid the check with enough time to get to our show with 1/2 hr to spare. I highly recommend and will visit again!

The best Cuban food I’ve had in nyc by far. Very few restaurants do “elevated” Cuban food. This place is different. They’re thoughtful about the food, drinks, and service. I was introduced to it by my Mom who used to go when she was in her twenties. The ownership since then was handed off to the daughter of the owner and I’m in love with it. I can’t wait wait to go back.

Had a wonderful meal here, excellent food and wonderful atmosphere!

Delicious authentic Cuban food and wonderful service. We came here after a show and had a great time. Definitely try the churros.

Holy Moly this place was 1,000% delicious!!!My mom and I shared the plantains, the asado, and a skinny mojtito. It was just right for our priest theater dinner, we didnt even have to wait for a table despite not having a reservation. It was a Thursday and we got there around 5:30, but they got us in and out very quickly.Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough! Every bite was a rediscovery of the delicious flavors there were to offer 🥹(also, our servers name was Victor, so I dont know if they just all say that, or if it legitimately was, but it was absolutely perfect and he was wonderful and attentive, as was the rest of the dining staff).

Disappointing experience- ruined a birthday celebration. I’ve come to this restaurant on several occasions and loved the ambiance, food and service. This time it’s clear they overbooked and didn’t know how to handle their customers in terms of getting people out of their tables to make space for the incoming customers.When we first arrived, the entryway was flooded with people but I thought it was fine because we had a reservation. It seemed everyone had a reservation and were just sitting and waiting way past their time reserved. The person at the front said we were checked in but there is a wait and they couldn’t give us an estimate because they would be lying since they don’t really know. Apparently a lot of people were either taking their time with their meals which yes I understand, but there were people just sitting after they received their checks. Clearly a managerial issue if you can see the front is flooded with people waiting and there are just people who are done and sitting. Why not ask them to politely make space to clear the table?I get a lot of people want to enjoy their experience without being asked to leave when they are done but then the restaurant shouldn’t overbook. People come to the restaurant in that area not just for the food but because they have Broadway shows to attend and it’s close by. Waiting like that could absolutely cause someone to cut it close or just miss the opening portion of their show.Luckily after 40 min and still not seated, a table opened up by the bar which is unfortunate because the whole point was to experience the ambience of the restaurant and not sit by a cold door that keeps opening. Either way we sat there for fear of waiting longer and missing our show.I have to say that I am extremely grateful for our waitress, Kate. She made the whole experience a positive honestly. If it wasn’t for her wonderful personality and service I would have been over this restaurant. We let her know the time of our show and she actually wrote that down when taking our order. And the food came in a snap. Kate was attentive, constantly filling our glasses and checking if we needed anything. Perfect service from her. The food too if course was good as I usually know it to be.Overall, this restaurant needs a better system for reservations or tending to customers and rotating them in and out when they know it will be a busy night.

Victor’s Cafe is an absolute delight. Every aspect, from the well-prepared food to the inviting atmosphere, contributes to an exceptional dining experience. The staff is attentive and professional, ensuring each visit is memorable. Victor’s Cafe is a five-star venue that continues to exceed expectations.

Customer service is a priority in this place. Very attentive staff. The portions are big and the prices reasonable.

We went for dinnerNice vibeLive Cuban musicDinner was greatCustomer service was excellentDefinitely will visit again

We came here on a Saturday night before going to see a show. The location is convenient to many theaters. Our server was fantastic at being mindful of the time and food came out quickly. The atmosphere is fun and feels like you are in a tropical oasis. Another plus is that we did not need reservations, although the restaurant was very full, so we may have gotten lucky.Unfortunately, I disliked the food. I found it bland and either under or over cooked. The seafood paella lacked seasoning. I had shredded pork, which was tough rather than tender. The yuca that came with it was flavorless and mushy. We also had the appetizer sampler which was a let down. The salmon ceviche was the best dish of the night. This seems like a tourist destination. I would come back to try drinks before a show, but would avoid their food.

I used to go to Victor Cafe many times so I decided to go have dinner with my girlfriend after not going for over twenty years and I was very disappointed. We made reservations on line even has confirmation of the reservation and when we got there, the girl that greets you couldn’t find it but we show her it. I ordered the pernil and it was a big chunk of fat. So my entree was changed to Ropa Viega and it was salted. The rice morro was not up to par. The appetizer were good. Platano con ground beef was good. Fried yucca fries were good. The women bathroom floor was sticky. I’m not one to complain but I was very disappointed will not be going back.

Wait staff was very attentive. The menu had a good variety and everything we ordered tasted fresh and authentic.

Great service, wonderful food and lovely love music!

Great place for a quick bite before a show. Impeccable service with very friendly wait staff.

Easily 5 stars for food, service, atmosphere, and decor. Darwin provided prompt and friendly service. The roasted pig / lechon asado and ox tail were delicious, as was the guava dessert. Right in the heart of the theater district.

It was a wonderful dining experience. My belayer,Connie and I had the time of our lives there. Our server, Ricardo Rodríguez, was amazing .... He was charming, courteous and professional. The food was delicious! The sangria was simply divine. I highly recommend Victors Cuban Cafe! All of the staff were great and made us feel welcome and at home.

Nice atmosphere, good food. Also good service.

Ive been here twice in 2 weeks. The atmosphere is so nice. If you sit in the room with the skylight, it feels like you are outside. The food and drinks were phenomenal, especially the dessert. Our waiter (I believe his name was Armando) was perfection. Attentive, gave great recommendations, overall very nice. Coconut mojito was SO good.

Saturday and no Music, drinks were higher than steak house I just visited. Use to be a favorite place after dinner for me , I just don’t know what’s happening. If in the area again I may visit and see. Otherwise disappointed ☹️

Crowded, noisy, and chaotic (it was a Saturday so that may have contributed). There was live music that was a bit loud contributing to the noise.It seemed that a lot of people with reservations were waiting in the small lobby area long beyond their reservation time. This happened to us as well.Once seated, the wait staff was a little slow (it was busy). However, they were attentive and efficient once they attented to us. The drinks and the main courses were good. One desert was good, the other so so. No need to add mint to Key Lime pie.Note: When reserving, if you chose the lounge, it is very small and cramped. So chose the main dining room.

I absolutely love this place. I have taken my fiance here for dinner and now that NYC is getting more open, its the first place i wanted to go. The service is phenomenal, the food delicious and the white sangria with guava a real treat! Live music makes the ambiance fun and I honestly could stay for hours! Great, attentive servers, a fantastic experience every time we go. Listen, its not cheap but its worth every penny!

We had dinner before attending a show on Broadway and everything was excellent. I had the Ropa Vieja, tried several appetizers, and their red Sangria.

Authentic, upscale, colorful, inviting environment. Large portions. Delicious food. Paella: seafood had a great assortment of seafood and savory, however the vegetable variety didnt seem like a Paella, but rather veggies and rice.

Lisa and I had a wonderful time celebrating her birthday at Victors Cafe. The food, service, and ambiance were amazing. We highly recommend you visit for a delicious meal!

If you ever want to go to a restaurant and feel treated like family, Victors Cafe is the restaurant for you. We had my daughters graduation brunch there on 6/11. The service was impeccable. The staff and managers were attentive to our needs. The dishes served here are authentic Cuban. The atmosphere is fun and delightful. I highly, highly recommend Victors Cafe. It made my daughters day. Shes still talking about it. Thank you again. ❤

I crossed Victors Cafe many times before I actually went there, but I was struck by how large and magnificent the indoors portion of the restaurant was.The food was excellent, the cocktails were great, and the servers were very hospitable. Would highly recommend this place for a nice meal. Check it out :-)

Good food overall. But I ordered 24 hour slow cooked pork but they served me chicken. They supposed to serve me 3 orders of rice and beans, but only gave me 2. Need to improve on serving accuracy

Our waiter Diego was ABSOLUTELY amazing. He was talking to us like we known him for years lol. The food was GREAT,I can’t wait to go back

If you are looking for a decent meal before your theatre show I would recommend Victors Cafe as irs close to Broadway, must book in advance or you wont get a table as there was a wait even for reserved tables. Food and drinks are good and service is quick and responsive.

Portions were small , I felt cheated.My two guests said the same thing. But the bill was large.

Just had dinner at Victors tonight- and it was just the loveliest experience that I had to write a review. I grew up in Miami, so I know good Cuban food. Victors is DELICIOUS. We had arroz con pollo, maduros, black beans and rice- everything tasted better than I remember. The guava crumble for dessert, amazing. The sangria and the cortadito- Im still dreaming of it. But even better than the food was the service. Darwin was so incredibly lovely to me and my elderly parents. He made what would have been a delicious meal into a warm experience. He is just delightful and a phenomenal ambassador of the food. And the atmosphere of the restaurant transports you right out of the city. IF you are in the mood for some excellent Cuban food, some good company and a great atmosphere- GO. Thank you Victors for a great nite!

My Husband and I went here for dinner during the week and it was pretty crowded. We were able to sit immediately as we sat by the bar. The staff was pleasant, they even brought us an extra side because they had forgot it when the food initially came out. The food itself was pretty good.

Excellent everything from the food & ambiance to the staff and service... 10s across the boards. So nice we had to do it twice...

Victor s Cafe is by far one of the best restaurants in NYC. From the friendly staff to the oustanding food n drinks. Met with a few old n dear friends of mine. No better place to meet than one of my favorite restaurants.The waiters Darwin and Carlos (Charlie); were friendly , attentive, pleasant, efficient and so willing to make sure we had an excellent dining experience .Continuously checking on us and making sure all was well. The food was amazing; the drinks were phenomenal. We ordered a pitcher of both ; white and red Sangria.We were all pleased with the dishes we ordered. From Sea bass and Shrimp dishes; to Pernil(pork) and Ropa vieja (shredded beef). The flavor was on point and all the food was eaten. Empty plates from all 4parties. The chef Jose Luis was kind enough to come out to our table and we were able to personally thank him for a job well done. My friends will definitely be back to Victors Cafe. They will as well refer people they know to come and try some good food s ; whenever in NYC. A reservation is something I would suggest for it gets pretty crowded. The atmosphere / ambiance is wonderful and a place you would be happy to have been able to experience. I have been coming to Victor s cafe for years and truly it’s a place that doesn’t disappoint.Enjoy your visit there; an experience you will most certainly remember. Last but not least; order the sampler for appetizer. It will give you a taste and variety of different and delicious foods.

This was our first time in a Cuban restaurant. The food was excellent, perfectly seasoned and absolutely delicious. The beautiful decor and great music added to a wonderful experience here dining with friends. Definitely a great restaurant to visit before a Broadway show.

Perfect spot. Excellent Cuban 🇨🇺 food 👌

Definitely coming back todo.. delicious el 3 leches to die for

Great Cuban food. Excellent service and atmosphere. Great place for a meal after the theater 🎭

Food was good, expensive considering the small portions. Service was extremely slow and curt, which diminished the experience for me.

Hands down the worst food Ive ever had!!dont go !!as a 66year nyer ,this is the worst Ive ever had!!!!!

Victor’s Cafe was the perfect spot for a nice dinner before a play. The service was great Ricardo was excellent, the bar was small but very nice, they had a great selection of wines and cocktails. Place is decorated nicely and has a lot of history. Dinner was very good, tasty typical Cuban food. The fritas cubana, empanadas we’re great as an appetizer! I had the pollo campestre, it was supposed to be all white chicken breast meat but somehow I got a wing mixed in! All in all a great spot. Ask about their specials. Enjoy!

This is one of my top three favorite restaurants in NYC. I love everything from the customer service, ambiance, decor, cleanliness, and lets not forget the mouth watering appetizers, entrées, drinks and desserts!! Weve been dining there for over 10 years now. This place is a must!

Delicious food. I enjoyed the seafood marinated in lime juice with pineapple and salmon carnival for the main course. And, dont forget to try the guava cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Service was excellent too. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the times square area. My only criticism was that it was a bit too much noise.

Perfect place to relax your mind.

The food was excellent! very fresh and great portions. the service was suburb as well, very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. 100% would return/recommend

From the general manager to the server, the service was A-1! This was my first time dining there and it definitely will not be the last. The food was phenomenal. I also enjoyed how diverse the restaurant is and how beautiful the interior is as well.

A wonderful pre-theater spot with yummy Cuban cuisine, tasty cocktails and amazing service. Ricardo is seriously the best! And the hostess and other staff were great too on a busy Saturday night.

Victor’s is our go to place for special celebrations and the food is delicious. We ate everything ordered (whole fish, pollo manigua and churrasco) and nothing was left on the plate. Thank you!

Stopped by today (26 Nov 2023) with my family of 5 hoping we could get a Cuban meal and to watch the Knicks on tv prior to heading to watch the Rockettes at the Radio City Music Hall. Unfortunately although we were told we could watch the game, After we sat down the manager told us they did not pay for the MSG channel. So we ended up leaving. What a bummer. You would think the MSG channel would be almost required to sign up for as a restaurant in NYC. We ended up taking our business elsewhere.

Victors was right next to our hotel. Very nice place. The service was a 10, and the food was a 20. EVERYTHING was simply excellent. My wife and I had the sangria and mojito. For food we had the boneless chicken and steak ropa vieja with plaintains. Perfection.

We got our hopes up and were disappointed. Service was good to start, but then the wait time for appetizers was way too long. The Bartolito was the appetizer recommended by our server, and it was ridiculously small (3 bites of food) and really not that flavorful. My sons plate came piping hot at the same time as my at best room temperature plaintain chips (again about half the portion I would have expected) and cubano. I will say the cubano was savory. But this was not a good value, and we ate at a diner in Queens that was 10 times better for half the price. This was the first time in about 5 years that I was honest with the server and said I was not satisfied. The response was, Oh, really?! I will let them know and then no follow-up, no offer to make things right, and no discounted check.

Still the Best Cuban Restaurant in NYC. Weve been coming here over 20 years. Our 1st time back since Covid. Brought back a lot of great memories and of course flavors!

The food was amazing!!! The service was excellent! Our waiter Joe was the best. You must stop by if you want Great Cuban food. The Solomon was cooked to perfection. I am from NY but have lived in Arizona since Dec. 2005. My sister and I were in NY for a quick day trip. I was visiting her in Virginia and we decided to hit NY. We did not have a lot of time to hit our favorite spots so we decided to go to Victors Cafe. So glad we did. Victors is now on our lists of favorites. Go and check them out if you are ever in NY you will not regret it.

Delicious food, too bad the hosts have the worst personalities- a mixture of snotty and rude. Do better.

We had a party of 8 and we didnt enjoy the service or food so much. Some of the food was overly burnt or under cooked. Our table was half booth and the booth was dirty prior to us sitting down and took a while for them to clean it.Our waiter rarely checked on us. Took over 1 hour to take our food order. Even though the rest of the party got there a bit late, we all were ready to order and visible looking for him. The restaurant wasnt even busy by the time we were there and we had to ask other servers that came around to our table for food and drinks besides the server assigned to us.

I like it because I wish I could give it 7 stars and because the fritas with the eggs were really really really good. I also liked the lemonade

We had an excellent meal before a show on a Friday evening. When I made the reservation I requested a table in the patio skylight room which I highly recommend. The service was friendly & prompt and I cant say enough about how delicious our meal was. In walking distance to many theatres (we saw Cats at the Neil Simon theatre which is right next door). I cant wait to go back!

We made reservations through Open Table and were seated right away. We saw an add for the place in our hotel, usually I dont go for the adds but it was a good commercial :)The place was booming, 7 on a Saturday night. We ordered mojitos and they were great, perfect balance and flavor.The food was fresh, delicious, and they even made something off menu for me. I wont disclose what I ordered as Id hate to set precedence. All of the food was amazing best Cuban food weve had hands-down.The service was decent, the busier it got the less attentive.Theres no doubt wed eat here again if were in town.

Took advantage of restaurant week for a yummy lunch. Portions were perfect, ambiance was airy and comfy

Great atmosphere and wonderful service. The food was fresh, delicious and generous. We were a party if 8 and the overall bill wasnt too high given we had drinks and wine. One note one of our party was a vegan and there was little on the appetizer plate she could eat.

Great ambiance. Wish I could say the same about the waiters, the food, the cleanliness. We found a used candle mixed in the plantain chips, found hair on a plate of empanadas, and the meat for the burger was rare even though we ordered medium. No one came to apologize for any of this even after we brought attention to these issues.

A family of (12) returning from our 2023 vacation in Dubai, and making sure that we had enough time to visit before our next flight connection to our home town, New Orleans. Always a fun place to visit, great food and atmosphere, and fantastic service. Will continue to visit when in New York! The Ayestas Family.

Food is fantastic. Definitely give this place a try.Havana Guac, vegetable paella were absolute standouts. Tropical sunrise (mocktail) was also a hit.We snagged an impromptu reservation.

I have loved Victors for year. It is one of my favorite places here in New York to eat at. I love the ambiance, service and live music, they play classic Latin jazz. I highly recommended it. Great food, great service then after ward I am all ready for the theater.

Great food. Arroz con Pollo and Arroz w vegetables were wonderful. Easy to navigate menu for gluten free/ vegan diners. A little chaotic/ slightly long wait w the pre theater rush at 6:30 but that’s to be expected . We’ll b back for sure.

We enjoyed our leisurely holiday luncheon with our party of 8. The variety was wide, our appetizers, entrees and desserts were served with care, presented well, and all of the food was delicious. Even though the decaf coffee was not as strong as I like, that minor ding does not warrant a strike against their 5 🌟 rating. The ambiance was conducive to a long stay, almost 3 hours in our case.

The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, the waitstaff very patient with our large group (7) and the food was delicious and worth the prices (except, the iced tea was small and not worth 3.50 to me). I had one of the signature dishes, the slow roasted pork, but we all shared samples with each other. the plantain balls, the yucca dish, the oxtail, to name a few, were very delightful to taste. We all agreed that we will return to Victors Cafe to enjoy more dishes.The surprising thing to me was the attendant in the restroom. I believe I was underdressed after seeing that, but I never once felt shunned for wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

This felt like a find. Really nice staff that got us fed quickly so we could make a show. Our meals were tasty!
