Victor's 1959 CafeThe owner and all of the staffThe owner and the staff at Victor's are always very nice, they make you feel welcome, my diet restricts me from having gluten. The owner came to our table and expressed concern about one of the deserts that we wanted to try that it may contain gluten. Victors is very charitable to local non-profits, they support the annual Dinning Out of Life.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBecoming one of our regular spotsReally enjoy Victors. Friendly staff and great Cuban food. Guava Shells for desert are a must!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMNot to be missed!Victor's combines delicious authentic Cuban food with a charmingly relaxed atmosphere.

Highly recommended!5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMVictor's 1959 CafeI discovered this little gem years ago and have eaten there many times. This was long before Guy Fieri of "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" and "he Food Network" did their thing. Victor's is a wonderful, bright, colorful and cozy place where the staff are knowledgable and super friendly and the food is authentic cuban. I actually feel like I'm in a small cafe in Havana when I eat there. When the weather is nice, it is also a great destination for outside dining as well. All the food is fresh and homemade and presented beautifully. I can honestly say that I have had most of the menu choices and have never been disappointed. Also, be sure and save room for cuban coffee and a fabulous dessert.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Cuban oasisInteresting how everyone can scribble on walls, ceilings, you name it.

We had the Cubano Mix appetizer which was incredible. The beef empanadas were so flavorful and the cheese croquettas were sinfully delicious. There were 4 of us and we each got something different to share. The ropa viejas was amazing with fried plantains that were sweet and yummy. The pork loin was fabulous. I would have loved a double helping of meat!! The chicken stew was good and the shrimp creole had a great kick. We thought we were completely stuffed until our waitress brought the dessert menu. We all split the mango cheesecake-so smooth and delicious and the xiango chango which is cheesecake fried in small pieces and smothered in cinnamon sugar. To die for!! Wait staff was great!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great time especiallyWe had a great time especially since we didn't have to wait for a table.
