About Us
When Victor’s 1959 Café opened in April 1999 we were excited about bringing great Cuban food to our south Minneapolis neighbors – and we still are! What we couldn’t have imagined was that all these years would pass and we would have the pleasure of not only being part of a wonderful community, but that we would receive guests from all over the world, making new friends and meeting so many amazing people. It continues to be a rich and rewarding experience for us to serve all of you! We’re delighted that you enjoy our Cuban food so much and for those of you who have been with us from the beginning as well as those of you who are newcomers, we thank you for your tremendous support.
