Eggs Havana
So good. Creole sauce is always amazing on pretty much anything, but it's best on this, I'd say. Plus it comes with yucca so it's perfect.
Ranchero Cubano
This is my go to favorite dish on the menu! I haven't had one bad dish. Friendly staff and awesome service!
Bistec Criollo
One of my favorites! Everything you could want in a breakfast or lunch item. Steak is flavorful, eggs are always cooked perfect and crispy yucca makes this so good! I like to add a side of black beans! Get it w the cuban bread!
Chocolate Con Leche
The best hot chocolate in all of Minnesota! There's some type of magic in it that makes it so amazing!
Arroz a la Cubana
Delicioso! Súper good, loved especially the yuca and plantain. Coffee is super good too! Thank you! Will be back soon. Miss having breakfast in person at the cutest little spot in town.
Yuca Rellenas
Balls of cheesy Yuca goodness! I ordered the Yuca Rellenas on a whim for my young kids to have (in addition to sharing the meals off our plates) but the whole family was fighting for them! We'll add these to our order every time!
"Love" Cuban BBQ Sauce 16 oz Jar
The best Cuban spot in the twin cities!! The portions are well worth the price, because this is art!!
Yuca Frita
I really love everything at Victor's, but the Yuca is probably my favorite food anywhere of all time. Especially with the mojo sauce it's SO GOOD. I would buy a bucket of it if I could. The Eggs Havana and Día y Noche are great too, along with the pancakes and, well, everything on the menu. Tons of vegetarian options too which I am grateful for. Best spot in the Twin Cities.
Sandwich Cubano
Victor's sandwich cubano is the best I've ever had in Minnesota. It's delicious, affordable and there's enough to save for a second meal! Love this place!
Chips & Salsas of the House
Excellent!
Bistec Encebollado
WOW! Is all I can say. The meat was super fresh and perfectly cooked, which surprised me. Sometimes I get wary ordering steak dishes because I feel the steak becomes overcooked or dry, that was NOT the case here. The steak was very juicy and had an amazing flavor mixed with the grilled onion. I was pleasantly surprised with this dish and will definitely order again.
Dia Y Noche
Love the black beans and how their flavor meshes with the rest of the breakfast. Can't find this combo anywhere else.
Pan con Lechon
This sandwich is the sleeper pick. I think everyone instantly goes for the Cuban, which is also delicious, but the Pan con Lechón is the sandwich I'll go back to again and again.
Mango Pancake
I don't usually order pancakes at restaurants, but the mango pancake is my exception! I always order one pancake on the side and end up having to split it because it's also pretty big. Not too sweet, but perfect as a little dessert for breakfast.
Corn Pancake
My favorite breakfast place has always been victors for not only the food but the staff! I'm a huge fan of having savory and sweet breakfast so the corn pancake is essential with every order! It's delicious and gooey in parts, recommend 10/10.
Guava & Cream Cheese Empanada
These were so, so delicious. Creamy and tart. The absolute perfect dessert. Highly recommend!
Cuban Scrambler
This is easily my favorite breakfast in Minneapolis (served with a sweet café con leche of course). It's the ultimate comfort food; warm, filling, delicious, and affordable. The eggs are always cooked perfectly, and the beans and salsa are a heavenly combo. It's not too hot but very flavorful. If you're unsure what to order, you can't go wrong with the Cuban Scrambler.
Basque Scrambler
The basque scrambler has been my favorite breakfast item from Victor's for over a decade. Check them out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
"Love" Cuban Pork BBQ Sandwich
"Love" is the perfect name for this sandwich. It took one bite for me to fall in love with this amazing sandwich! It's the perfect blend of Victor's BBQ sauce with some out of this world pulled pork, on their Cuban bread. It's even better with the Cuban slaw, and has become my go-to take out order this summer. Guaranteed to have you love it enough to come back for more!
Fricasee de Pollo
This is heaven on a plate or in a takeout container. It's so good and such a good happy comfort food!
Dia Y Noche
I started coming here a few years ago and this was the first thing i've tried and since then i've gotten it almost everytime, it's so simple yet SO delicious. the plantains are always cooked perfectly, the beans flavored to perfection and with a side of tortillas makes this one of my favorite meals ever. I highly recommend smothering it in their homemade hot sauce as wel...it goes so good on it. Seriously i can't recommend this anymore. such a classic dish but made so perfectly! Whenever I get this i'm full for the rest of the day and feel absolutely content! 10/10!
Crab Cakes Breakfast Special
This is so darn good! The crab cakes are all crab, no bread fillers, and nice and crispy on the outside. The salad is crisp and sweet which compliments this perfectly.
Empanadas
LOVE THESE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Bistec Criollo
The most delicious breakfast steak I've ever had, and my favorite item on the menu. So soo good!
Wild Rice Banana Porridge
This is the best porridge known to man! I always buy one to go and one there. I love this place and I go every time we visit family! Highly recommend this place, the line would be out the door and it can be about an hour wait even when it's cold. Worth it every time, just be sure to be ready to wait. Service has always been good and I finally got around to buying a shirt, high quality and made to last.
Rice & Beans
I love Victors! It is with out a doubt the best breakfast place in Minneapolis. I would highly recommend their beans and rice or anything else on their menu!
Lechon Asado
I've been missing my monthly trips to Miami, but this dish has made it all better to be still in Minneapolis. Delicious and my favorite thing.
Seafood Paella
Like I died and went to heaven!! This is a beautiful dish that brings you to the islands! Fresh, bountiful, The bursts of flavor you cannot find anywhere!!! I could eat it everyday!! Thank you!!
Pan con Lechon
Super yummy! I even looked be their rice and black beans, something I don't like anywhere else!
Fricasee de Pollo
A wholesome meal that tastes very authentic. Perfect representation of Cuban food. Chicken was tender, seasoned, and flavorful.
Black Bean Burger
In my top two favorites of things on the menu. As a vegetarian, I'm all too familiar with the black bean burger option on the menu, this one however is special. Homemade and hearty, I usually end up having extra to take home.
Plato Vegetariano
AMAZING!! I crave this meal all the time. Victors is my go to restaurant with many different friends, and it always hits the spot. Perfect balance of flavors.
Lechon Asado
Absolutely Perfect. I've never had pork this tender, juicy, and flavorful. Does not disappoint
Bistec Criollo
Bistec criollo is my favorite dish! The rice and yuca soak up all the flavors from the steak, I order mine with an over medium egg and the yolk just adds to all the goodness! I also choose the Cuban bread option and it's perfect for dipping into the runny yolk too. Definitely can't go wrong with this dish!
"Love" Cuban Pork BBQ Sandwich
Love this place! Always quick with my order and the pulled pork melts in your mouth.
Plato Vegetariano
Lots of great vegetarian options! Plus, always love good yuca, and also great cheese empanadas.
"Love" Cuban Pork BBQ Sandwich
Just FANTASTIC- Victor's very well could be my favorite restaurant. Amazing atmosphere inside & our for any meal of the day!
Arroz a la Cubana
This is my favorite breakfast in Minneapolis, hands down! The Arroz a la Cubana with some coffee and a mango pancake eaten on a sunny patio is seriously my idea of heaven. Highly recommend upgrading to the Cuban toast as well!
Yuca Frita
A really delicious plate of Yuca! Not to miss in Minneapolis.
Dia Y Noche
Victor's is amazing and I've been a committed patron for over a decade. Hands down my favorite brunch spot.
