Victor's Café

Since 1963, Victor’s Cafe, a family-run New York City landmark, continues to be a culinary voyage to Cuba offering an incomparable experience with its harmony of authentic cuisine, hospitality and stylish environment. Victor’s has the unique distinction of being both luxurious and casual, serene and high energy, family oriented and romantic, exotic yet familiar.

The cuisine at Victor’s includes the most delicious, authentic dishes combined with the restaurant’s exclusive creations that represent the evolution of Cuban cuisine. Signature dishes include Victor’s famous black bean soup, shredded beef (“Ropa Vieja”), and roast suckling pig (“Lechon”).

The restaurant itself is divided into three spacious dining rooms, accented with warm lighting, colorful Cuban art, tropical ceiling fans, and lofty sky-lit ceilings. The restaurant's Cuba Lounge is intimate and warm, featuring a tapas menu and a variety of traditional Cuban cocktails such as Mojitos and Sangria.

"I was pleasantly surprised by the food at Victor's. The waiter was extremely attentive. The only minus was the wait for the food but when food is being freshly prepared that is to be expected. I will recommend Victor's to my friends."

"Service was the worst I've experienced except for the food servers who worked their tushes off. The food was very salty and bland. Best thing about the place was we were seated at our reservation time and the crispy plantain chips brought to the table. Can't recommend and won't go back."

"I made reservations for Mother's Day. We made reservations for 8:15. We arrived about 7:45. When Ed arrived, ad waited about 5 minutes and our table was ready. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately served water and delicious fried banana slices. The menu had both a special and the regular menu.
The food was amazing. The restaurant provided a decent amount of times between appetizers and entree, as well as desert. The drinks were delicious high recommend the sangria and the classic mojitos.
I cannot wait to return. Any of the dishes are spectacular. Delicious!"

"I had a wonderful experience at Victor's Cafe!! My twin sister and I were celebrating our 21st birthday here and I could NOT have picked a better place to hold my dinner! The food was AMAZING (the black beans and the appetizers were delectable) I had the Lechón asado (roast pig) and it was so tender and juicy that I only wish they had
given me a bigger portion. The ambiance of the restaurant was very vibrant and lively, however
I was under the impression that they had live entertainment, but they didn't. I was extremely satisfied with the way the wait staff treated me and my 15 guests... they were so attentive and dedicated! I will definitely be recommending this restaurant to friends for special occasions.

"This restaurant was amazing! My boyfriend and I went after a Broadway show. Even though we arrived 45 minutes early, we were seated immediately. Staff was quick and attentive to our needs. The food was to die for! I lived in Miami for 4.5 years, so I appreciate good Cuban food--this place had it! It was much busier by the time we left, however, we had a fantastic time!"

"Overpriced and average cuban food. Ordered a $29 House specialty appetizer for 2 which looked like a plate full of fried breaded frozen snacks. Specialty appetizer for 2 had 1 shrimp. The $39 filet mignon - ordered medium with a pink center-- was well done and had the texture of shoe leather. Ordered sweet plantains for 4 with our dinner. They brought one little side plate, then another, never an amount for our party of 4. We were seated near an ac blower which made our table freezing, we wore our jackets throughout dinner. We never got comfortable it was so cold, they said they would lower it but never did. I ordered the house specialty, roast suckling pig. Terrible, dry and honestly I was embarrased for them."

"While the food and service were very good, my overall opinion is that this restaurant was quite noisey making it difficult to converse across a table for two and there is not much bang for the buck here."

"As usual, Victor's didn't disappoint. The sangria was great. Tried the Taste of Cuba selection because I just couldn't decide what to get. Appetizers were excellent. A great sampling of the entrée favorites including Ropa Vieja, Camarones Enchilados, and delicious roast suckling pig. Mmmmm!! Dessert included creamy rice pudding, delicious flan and a piece of tasty crumb cake. Finished the meal off with a nice espresso cubano. If you're in the neighborhood, you have to stop at Victors."

"Our family is Cuban and found the flavors bland, and the menu limited. Very expensive for what you get. A tiny bowl of bland black beans for the entire table? Not really going to work for our family! The decor is pretty nondescript, too. Overall, we were pretty disappointed."

"My husband and I were going to a show and needed a good place to eat before hand. Usually we don't like the times square/ theater district because it's mostly tourist traps. But this has pleasantly surprised us. The food was good, the drinks were good the service was quick, polite and efficient the whole experience was wonderful. Would definitely go back.
My husband had the Paella, which contained a lot of seafood and it was delicious. I had jumbo shrimp in a tomatelo sauce of some sort, it was very well season, very nice flavors, again as i said, can't complain.
definitely recommend."

"Food was tasty and well prepared. Service started out great at 5:15 but was really slow at the end of our dinner when we had to get to the theater around the corner by 7:00. Took over 10 minutes alone just to find our waiter to get our check, waiter no where in sight. Ambiance was fine but nothing outstanding; was what I would have expected for the price and location of the restaurant. Would probably choose another restaurant in future if in that neighborhood."

"Our reservation was at 5:45!! Drinks came 15 minutes later and finally we ordered dinne. The staff was apologetic for ignoring us, which we appreciated. Dinner was good for one of our diners but another's came out cold. We decided not to send back because we had a show to get to.
I would never go back here and I would never recommend this to anyone. The food was just ok... Not exceptional by any means. The wait staff was very lack luster and did not seem to care all all that our dining experience was not good at all!
I researched all of the restaurants before choosing this one and I have to say I did not find any bad reviews. I think they fill up the reviews with their own raving reviews to bury the bad. don't waste your time!!

"i ordered the ropa vieja and it was very succulent and tasty. The waiter was very attentive and friendly, the food came very quickly, my date had roasted chicken which was also very good. Mojitos are well made here and come with a real sugar cane stir. I would recommend this restaurant."

"They seated us right away for a 4:30 reservation. Offered us drinks and took our order all in a timely matter. ( no rush). We were waiting on one more person, but we ordered anyway. Was surprise when our friend arrive we had just gotten our food. She ordered and the food came very quickly. We all were able to enjoy our meals together. The food had a lot of taste and presentation was nice. Can't wait to go back."

"Victor"s Cafe was just wonderful. The ambiance was great, the Sangria and Mojitos were excellent The food marinated flank steak was prepared just right and the rice with black beans was perfect. The service was fast efficient but did not rush us out. I would strongly recommend Victor's Cafe to anyone for any occasion or no occasion."

"After dining alone at Victors last year I was thrilled to share this great cafe with my family. We had a corner banquette that was very comfy. We all ordered a different dish and every one was delicious. We'll be back next visit to NYC."

"Just love Victors, have been going there for quite a few years. I have never been disappointed in the food or service.
I have been there for lunches, dinners and many times stopped at the bar after a show and got drinks and Cubin sandwitches. All my friends that I have taken with me also enjoyed it.
Love the music they play, and the decor, you think you are in Cuba.
When in NYC it is my place to go."
