"Victor’s Cafe — the most grand Cuban restaurant in town — was founded on the Upper West Side in 1963. Subsequently it moved to 52nd Street, where it boasts a nightclubby ambiance and still turns out magnificent versions of ropa vieja and lechon asado, plus such smaller snacks to go with a mixed drink, such as empanadas and salt-cod croquettes." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
