A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.
Lush Midtown Restaurant Nails Ropa Vieja, Cuba’s National Dish!
Sofrito Lovers,
Finding good Cuban food in New York City is a challenge! That's why I got excited when I saw the article posted below from Eater.com. Good Ropa Vieja? Yes sir, I'm there!
I've heard of Victor's Cafe, but have never visited. You all know that I'm an uptown boy and I rarely dine downtown, but if the Ropa Vieja (Stewed shredded beef) at Victor's Cafe is has good as Ryan Sutton says, then I'm heading down to Midtown on the next D train!
Check out the article below and see if it sparks your interest the way it did mine! Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen provecho!

On Eater’s list of 38 essential New York restaurants, a Cuban spot recently made the cut. I was hoping it would be Guantanamera, but Victor’s Cafe, which Robert Sietsema calls the city’s “most luxurious and venerable Cuban restaurant,” ended up winning out for now. It was a solid choice.
Victor del Corral, who ran restaurants in and around Havana before emigrating to the states, opened his namesake venue in 1963 on the Upper West Side. “Featuring robust Cuban food at affordable prices, the restaurant was routinely packed with an assortment of New Yorkers, including graying beatniks and Lincoln Center concertgoers as well as Cuban expatriates,” the New York Times wrote in its 2006 obituary for Del Corral. Victor’s relocated to its current home on 52nd street in 1980, where it’s currently run by Del Corral’s daughter and granddaughter, Sonia and Monica Zaldivar.
