The food was great as always and hot. The service was pleasant. The Sangrita was AMAZING! The steak is always my favorite. However, for brunch the home fries were excellent full of flavor. We were four in total and every appetizer and entree was delish. This was my first time there since before covid and it has not changed. I look forward to returning.

Wonderful restaurant with attentive staff and great food. Had lunch at Victor’s before a 3:00 Broadway matinee. Although we were 20 minutes early for our reservation, they immediately seated us (beautiful restaurant). We started with coconut mojitos (delish) and a shared order of guacamole. This was followed by shrimp in a queso type sauce, pork sliders, Ropa viejo and skirt steak with rice and black beans. The final touch was a coconut gelato (refreshing). The wait staff, continually checked on us and answered all questions. We, thoroughly, enjoyed the entire experience
