   This was our first time at Victors Cafe and we will most definitely return. The food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the Ropa Vieja and my husband had the Lechon Asado both dishes were generous portions and delicious. We had the Cuban Guacamole as an appetizer and tostones as a side,they were both delicious as well. We had the white sangria and I can honestly say it was one of the best I’ve had. Our server was Ricardo we he pleasant and attentive. I would highly recommend Victors Cafe.

   It's been many years since I'd been here, but it's still one of the best values in midtown.

   The best Cuban restaurant ever. The black beans, now I know why they are famous. The service was the best and the food just outstanding. The guayaba dessert was just wonderfull. I cant wait to be there again soon.

   This was our first time at victors café. It will certainly not be the last . I am already looking forward to next time. One of our guests is vegan and gluten-free. The waiter was so helpful and she loved what she ordered. I really appreciated that the wait staff was masked . Even though the restaurant was pretty crowded the noise level never got uncomfortable. I highly recommend this restaurant

    The restaurant has a really good vibe. The service was great but the food was nothing to write home about. We had the appetizer sampler and then paella for dinner. Both were good but neither was a wow. I would go back but just to the bar for drinks.

    We dined at Victor’s Cafe before going to the theatre for a matinee performance. The food was delicious but we were disappointed that there weren’t enough oxtail specials for all. Also, there was no chicken available. This has never happened before in all the times I’ve dined at Victor’s. The kitchen was very busy so we had to skip dessert and coffee.

    Walking in, the atmosphere transports you to New World Havana. We started with a jalapeño papaya margarita and the barlitos - 3 delicious but small bites of fried sweet plantains each stuffed with a tiny bit of pork and a minuscule topping of goat cheese. Next we had two fresh salads, then we shared the ropas viejo with white rice and black beans (because my husband has low sodium and this dish helps with that! We finished with a very nice espresso flan. Overall, very good food and the service was excellent!! Thank you, Isaac and everyone who took great care of us!!

    Beautiful atmosphere, fun, vibrant and excellent Cuban cuisine! Started with a delicious and elegant Hemingway Daiquiri. The Ropa Vieja was superb and took me right back to days in Miami. Don't miss the side of fried plantains, cooked perfectly. I enjoyed the salmon with grilled pineapple salsa. Seared to perfection with crispy skin. And all dishes include wonderful Cuban black beans and rice. Add the bunelos for dessert. Best ever as little bites. Noise level is loud! We came early and it was great until it filled up. Quite loud. Service was impeccable. We loved it.

    White Sangria was very good. Havana guacamole was tasty. Paella de Mariscos and Camerones enchilados were delicious. Would order all of the above again, but there are so many other dishes to try!

    The pros: The food is excellent - great flavours, fresh. Recommend ropa vieja! Staff is great! The cons: TINY portions for BIG prices. You're in NY, you're right outside Times Square, but the appetizer portions are hilarious (legit, my partner and I cracked up it was so perfectly NY). So, if you're coming for drinks and appetizers only, be prepared to order a lot to satisfy your hunger.

    I guess my expectations were a bit higher given the number of good yelp reviews. While the menu selection is extensive, the food was a little hit or miss. The seafood paella and black beans were both really good, the lechon asado was a big disappointment. I've had this dish at several Cuban restaurants both here and in Cuba and I've never had it taste this salty. I actually couldn't taste anything except salt (not even the pork), it was almost inedible and I only ate about half of it-- and drank a ton of water. The garlic mojo yucca and moros that came with it was really good though. On a more positive note, the restaurant is fairly big and has a nice little bar area, the service was very good, the staff try very hard to get you in and out on time if you're going to the theater, and they have a nice selection of wine and cocktails. All that said, I don't think I'd make a point to go back here. There are just too many other really great restaurants nearby.

    We arrived early for our reservation,but we’re seated immediately. Out server Diego was awesome …, he explained different items patiently and offered suggestions. Diego overheard me mention my wife’s birthday and her dessert was served with a candle for the occasion. The kitchen delivered us both wonderful dinners.., the oxtail was some of the best I’ve had. We will be back !!
