“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”
“Our first visit to Café Victors. Enjoyed dinner; octopus, baccala stew in banana leave, paella vegetables, tropical chips & coffee latte. The flavors were delicious! A suggestion that all apps be served at the same time. The atmosphère charming and warm vibes.”
“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. 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. 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. The café cubano was the perfect nightcap, a small, strong espresso that was delicious. Next time, I’d try it cafe con leche.”
“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..”
