Reviews for Victor's 1959 Cafe in Minneapolis, MN
Victor’s is always a hit. I had the wild rice porridge for the first time today and it was one of the best things I’ve ever... eaten, highly recommend! Also, make sure to upgrade to the Cuban toast, it’s well worth it. Read more
Love the vibe and decor. Cuban music playing, fun artistic style. I will have to give it another try as the eggs j ordered ever... medium were basically uncooked (clear white insides) :(. They comped my breakfast, but having had someone I know die ofsalmonella when I was younger, I don’t mess around with undercooked eggs and neither should the chefs. The pulled meatassortment (beef?) was a bit tough and the creole flavor was at the typical Midwest spice level (non existent). The Cuban toastwas super thin and perfectly cooked. Read more
I love this place; artsy, quaint with excellent food. Great shopping nearby too! Gets busy quickly! It's fun making your mark... on the wall -- bring a Sharpie! Read more
Great staff and a NICE change of pace when looking for authentic CUBAN food to warm YOU up on a cold Minne-SNOW'ta day. The... ambience is laid back and the graffiti decor, is sure to inspire the artist in you to leave your mark during you're diningexperience; for it to be forever immortalized! I'll definitely be back soon, to try some other things on the menu. ???????????? Read more
There’s a reason that Victor’s 1959 Cafe is a Minneapolis institution; deeply flavorful and comforting Cuban fare, prepared... with love in a cozy and colorful neighborhood location is a timeless recipe for success. Long simmered, meats like theincredibly tender flank steak in the Ropa Vieja are accompanied by big piles of rice and beans an beautifully fried plantains.The chips were crispy and hot, and the ceviche was bright and fresh. The cafe con leche (Latin America’s version of a latte)is an absolute must for any fans of steamed milk coffee drinks. Overall, I would highly recommend Victor’s to anyone whoenjoys Latin flavors or is looking for a casual and delicious spot for brunch in Minneapolis. I’m looking forward to stoppingby again soon to try out more of their delicious food. Read more
I adore this cute little restaurant. It feels like you've stepped into a but of Cuba. The service is super friendly and promt.... Food is fantastic but a little pricey for what it is. Definitely try the coffee drinks. They are out of this world delicious! Wewill be putting this one in our brunch rotation. It is small so try to keep your party under 4 people. Anything larger than thatand you will not be able to sit together. Read more
We visited the restaurant after hearing from everyone that is was a neighborhood gem. The staff was great and service was fast.... The place was kooky and colorful with walls garnished with patrons’ graffiti. Of the two dishes, the lechon asada was tastierthan the skirt steak, but both were good. The rice and beans were so so, a bit bland and sticky. The fried yucca was crispy witha fluffy interior, but tasted a bit greasy and like the oil was not fresh. It’s a local haunt, and although the food was finethe rave reviews may be based in reputation and nostalgia. I thought it was ok. Read more
Worth the wait for some delicious authentic cuban food! When we arrived they said about an hour wait as there were 10 folks in... front us but they didn't think most of those parties were still there. Within 30 minutes we were at our seat. The menu waspacked with delicious options but we ended up with the mango pancake and plantain omelet. Flavors were amazing and plantainswere exactly what we hoped for. We will be coming back to try their lunch options to bring me back to my days in South Florida! Read more
