Victor's Cafe Cuban Restaurant

Our first visit to Café Victors. Enjoyed dinner; octopus, baccala stew in banana leave, paella vegetables, tropical chips & coffee latte. The flavors were delicious!<br><br>A suggestion that all apps be served at the same time.<br>The atmosphère charming and warm vibes.

My husband and I went to Victor's as part of our 10th year anniversary celebration, and let's just say it was amazing. On the reservation we mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary and when we arrived we were welcomed congratulated and even given a nice happy anniversary card! How thoughtful! From there. Things just kept getting better. We had the ropa vieja and the arroz con pollo, both of which were delicious. And the beans were amazing! The service, the food, the ambiance. Everything was wonderful.<br><br>Additionally, I am gluten-free, dairy-free, and have shellfish allergies. They were able to accommodate everything. The menu is very well labeled as far as allergens are concerned. This helped me feel safe eating there as well.

It was delicious. The staff were amazing and the customer service was very attentive. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a nice card, which was a thoughtful touch. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming.<br><br>The mojito was a bit underwhelming. Someone said it would tie everything together, but it was a little too sweet. Dessert was also just okay. The crumble wasn’t really crumbling, and the guava layer was a bit too thick. In hindsight, we should have gone with the flan. They had two types, one egg custard and espresso flan.<br><br>It was nice to see two vegetarian options on the menu, though the black beans did have chicken stock so the vegetarian couldn’t try that. It was basically a plate of veggies. We ended up getting three meat/fish dishes and combining them, and it was so good.<br><br>The café cubano was the perfect nightcap, a small, strong espresso that was delicious. Next time, I’d try it cafe con leche.

The service was impeccable from the hostess to the mgmt. The fact that they gave my husband and I an anniversary card was super thoughtful. Nice customer service plus. The food was amazing as always. Service TOP TIER!! THANK YOU all for making our visit special yet another year!!! The cuban music and super sexy vibe makes the atmosphere magnetic!!! You guys ROCK!!! Love, The Hoovers

The food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can really tell care and quality go into each plate.<br>The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, professional, and genuinely warm.<br>On top of that, the restaurant itself is gorgeous, elegant, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The ambiance perfectly complements the dining experience.<br>Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

I grew up in a cuban household with an amazing cook for a mom. The food here was as good as I've ever had. The vacation frita was insanely flavorful as was the ropa vieja. The sangria was delicious and my wife enjoyed the arroz con pollo which was also fantastic. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. Would absolutely recommend

We had Christmas dinner here and it was amazing. The service was very good and the food very tasty. The live music was nice too. We were a very large group (15 people) yet we all received our food simultaneously so we all are at the same time with no long wait. Very good customer service

The food here is just ok and they are certainly not generous with their portions. The best part of our meal was the guac with chicaron, salsa and fried plantains chips. That started us off on a good note but then it just got kinda boring after that. The lechon (pork dish) was lacking flavor and the baca frita was kind of dry. The drinks were ok and our dessert didn't impress..

The food was so delicious here my fiancés favorite cuisine of food is Cuban and he said this is one of the best Cuban places he has tried in NYC. We got this dish called Fritas Cubanas and omg we could’ve eaten like 20 of them so good. Octopus was very delicious sauce that came with it was perfect. My fiance fell in love with his Cuban sandwhich he ordered and I was obsessed with the “lechon asado” the pork was so tender and the rice was some of the best beans and rice I’ve had. Their coconut mojito was delicious I had to get 2. Interior design also beautiful inside.

First time here. The place is very nice the atmosphere is pretty chill. I came during restaurant week and their prefix menu is very limited so keep that in mind. Also be prepared to pay more since you are dining in downtown area. The restaurant is conveniently located near the E-C subway station and also the orange lines on 6th avenue.

Went here for pre-theater dinner with not much of high expectations and we were blown away. Service, food quality and attention to detail were noticeably everywhere. I joked that our server was the owner in disguise since his name was also Victor and he wasn’t above and beyond with his service and recommendations as well. I’m Brazilian and you guys have the best flan I’ve ever had in my life! Also the fried cod fish was to died for! Thank you!

I always love to stop in at victors cafe when in NYC. Centrally located and close to Times Square. I love the menu, you can’t go wrong with anything. The vibe is also amazing in the restaurant. Nice music, polite staff, and beautiful decor. Make sure to do a reservation, they can get very busy. Perfect place for a celebration, I went for my recent birthday and received a card from my waiter, Gabriel. He was amazing and very kind.

The food and hospitality at Victor’s Cafe is unmatched! I went with friends to celebrate a birthday and I cannot rave enough. The staff is so incredibly nice, the food is phenomenal and their drinks were amazing. We had such an amazing start to my friend’s birthday as we went for brunch. I came here about a year and a half ago, as I live out of town, and could not wait to come back as I am obsessed with their Cuban eggs Benedict. I cannot say enough good things about this establishment!

I am biased because I’ve known Victor’s Cafe for decades. My late Mother loved the restaurant. And we all love Cuban food. The menu has changed over the years but it’s still delicious, based on what my wife and I had this last time. We both enjoyed the palmito salad. She had the salmon ceviche (which was presented more like a tartar), and I had the Pargo en Camisa de Plátano. And delicious café cubano. Excellent service from our server Armando. We also enjoyed the live music.

Love this restaurant! Ropa Vieja for me and my wife had Paella, both as good as it gets! We also enjoyed 2 appetizers, Croquetas and Bacalaitos. It just doesn't get an better if your in NYC and want Cuban Cuisine! FYI, ask for Armando as your server, he's fabulous!! They also gave me Guava puffed pastries with a wonderful cream dipping sauce!!
