Had my reservations of eating at Victor's for over 10 yrs+. I had the Cubano with a half mango pancake. The cubano had lots of flavor and lots of pork. I looked at the pancake and was disappointed because I didn't see slices of mango till I cut into it. I had the best mango pancake I've had. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: The parking lot was full on both sides. Had to park on Residential Street.

Overrated.Service was average at best, the decor and Vibe was pretty fun, but the food did not live up to the hype. My wife and I got two separate dishes and they both tasted the exact same. Not sure if they are going for a consistent flavor and everything, but some variety would be nice. Meat was a bit gamey.

I expected the food to be Cuban. Not so much but good anyway.

Eternally classic spot. Can't ever recommend it enough. It's tiny so the wait times can be long but there are plenty of fun nearby shops to browse around in the meantime. The corn cakes and fried plantains make me see God.

First visit here in a while and disappointed to see it has gone down hill. We got our food two minutes after ordering it. Tortilla not toasted, eggs weren't cooked as ordered, cheese wasn't melted. It was all clearly hastily thrown together. My guess is that they just want to move people through their limited seating as quickly as possible. The staff seemed honestly a little burnt out if friendly. Cool place and I hope it gets back to where I remember it.Dietary restrictions: One vegan lunch item but nothing on the breakfast menu. They did have GF.

We stopped in for lunch with our daughter, she said we like the food! We were not disappointed! They serve breakfast and lunch only. There's plenty of items to choose from. Next time we visit our daughter we'll come back for more ?

Great service, very popular. The food was great quality too. The only downside they didn’t have coffee without sugar ? but it was a decent brunch.

A top tier breakfast spot in the Twin Cities. Very interesting and fun decor with food options that are unique and a nice change from the usual breakfast. I haven't been for lunch but heard nothing but great things! If you can't think of what to get, the Basque scrambler with Cuban toast is an easy choice.
