Kelley Curry

They have a great tapas menu at the bar and they'll bring it to your table in the dining room if you ask. Order the ropa veija empanadas , shrimp quesadillas , ham croquettes , and the pork taquitos .

Melanie Maddox

The stuffed avocado appetizer is a must - served w crispy plantain chips ! We split the combo-entree that had beef prepared two ways. Plenty to share!

Village Voice

It is host to nightly music from super-talented Cuban musicians , serves killer mojitos and sangria among a forest of fake pine trees , and, perhaps most importantly, cooks a spot-on ropa vieja . Read more

Tarek El Kady

Amazing Cuban food , so tasty, and with a wide variety. Definitely a night to remember... Oh! and the live Cuban music , just so "Cuban"

John Paul

Vaca Frita Al Mojo AgrioCrispy shredded angus skirt steak sauteed with onions and laced with a tangy seville orange mojo . <--- by far the best dish I had. Still dreaming for another bite. A++ place

Erik Cintron

This is good food in a high end area of the city . I think the prices are fair for where it is at. The lay out is good. The service was top notch. Nice Cuban feel with salsa playing in the background

Richard Revilla

Pricey but as authentic as it gets. Try the taste of Victor if you'd like to try a little of everything. $49. Lechon is awesome.

Anna de Jesus

ropa vieja and Lechon were great. Lechon had a nice piece of crispy skin . Not greasy at all. Instead of bread they have plantain chips . Excellent. Tres leches to die for.

JC Earle

Great Cuban food , great location, great drinks, amazing house band (if it's still Son de Cuba), their waitstaff is mostly friendly & the bartenders are sweet. Owners are awesome. Mgmt: stuck up...

Loren Hnk

The vaca frita is amazing, the passion fruit mojitos are delicious and served with real sugar cane , and EVERY dessert is worth breaking your diet for.

Gilt City

Many of the dishes at Victor’s are still made with old family recipes . Some of the highlights: succulent lobster empanadas , chicken skewers with spicy mango sauce and sweet tres leches cake .

Morgan McKee

We live near Time Square, what do you expect? Pretty good food in a fun space with delicious cocktails . Pitcher of sangria will do you well ????

Matthew Ferguson

Great lively environment. Very friendly service . The El Fuerte cocktail was sweet and delicious. The saffron rice and chicken bowl I had was good but not great.

Kayleigh Harrington

Start with the bartolitos , then the Cuban sandwich . Order a pitcher of sangria . Finish with the dulce de leche dessert .

Alichia Gunter

Everything at this place is good. It is my favorite restaurant . I talk about it so much that when i say im hungry my children say yea we know you want victors right lol

Catherine Payant

All things plantain !!! Ask for the Dulce de Leche sauce with any dessert you get! ;)

Liva

Stumbled upon this place by pure chance and found a live band playing during happy hour . I highly recommend this place. Everything is good.

Ernesto Gutierrez

Recommended for cocktails and appetizers . The steak is your standard skirt steak found at many latin restaurants but it does not warrant the high price. Avoid the paella . Go with the Cuban classics

Ms Helene

Ceviche with snapper , mango and avocado $16, salmon with pineapple salsa and corn purée. Skip tres leches .

K Coo

Great Cuban food . The menu is a little pricey , but worth every bite. I recommend the ropa vieja for dinner . The churros are delicious for dessert .

The Corcoran Group

Awesome atmosphere and aromas from this delicious Cuban joint. Try the not so cheap pitcher of Sangria and the lobster empanadas .

Nick Morea

Steak and eggs Cuban style ! Love my ropa vieja ! And the mojitos are pure perfection as usual

New York Habitat

Victor's is in a great location and their pre theatre prix fixe menu brilliant. Get the ropa vieja , some sangria , and stick around to enjoy the live music .

Athar Khan

Table by the bar with live music - great and the appetizers were delicious. Excellent Ceviche .

J F

Great food, good service , long wait times to be seated (even with reservation ). Give yourself time- the food is worth it.

As seen on Love & Hip Hop -- The places where Ebro calls himself schooling Jen and Raqi on not being bimbos on the radio . http://on.vh1.com/17Fda6B

Go before a Broadway show. Tell them your showtime and even if you're cutting it close they'll make sure to get your food out with time to spare.

Rachel Adams

Loved the oxtail with potato purée but stay for the drinks

Lane Rettig

Fantastic brunch spot . Make sure to try churros with three sauces and café con leche for dessert .

Jae Chef

I'm a regular here. I always get the Bartolito and Croquetas . The Rabo Encendido and Ropa Vieja are delicious as well .

Megan Foster

Great food and drinks but the portions are small and the drinks not too strong. Great setting and location.

Alice Ferris

Try the Stuffed Piquillo Peppers - Roasted red peppers stuffed with picadillo , topped with melted Manchego cheese and Aged Balsamic

Ropa vieja andceviche were excellent. On the expensive end as far as Cuban food goes
