La Nueva Victoria

Chino Latino food is still alive in nyc and so I had to try it out. The braised fish sole was amazingly moist, my fork barely had to touch it as it sliced through. The buttery sauce goes well with the rice and the side salad helps as a palate cleanser. To top off the fish, it has some fried crunchy bits for texture added to the top that just works wonders! Going to try the steak next time!

For native NYers this is simply the BUTTA Spot! No other name or description needed. Don’t believe me, you can now Google “butta spot” and see what comes up. For those of us that “grew” here this is where you came back in the day for a great drink. Before nutcrackers were a thing and most definitely before Covid and drinks to-go were ever consider a legal option. One of those old-school spots that just hits. Nothing fancy, simple and clean… just good food and fast to the point service and the Butta drinks are always on point. This place just brings back such nostalgia. Now I must admit what is far from nostalgic is the “2025” Butta prices. After many years the prices were a shock upon my recent return. I remember when you could get a Butta for…. Nevermind I was about to date myself. LOL. Besides the Butta the wings are also still a must for me. Since I came mainly for the butta, I only grabbed wings. Of course even the food prices have seen an increase. Our server was funny and friendly, matching the restaurant's simple laid-back vibe. Just one of those places you have to return to because it brings back that touch of nostalgia that is sometimes needed with the passing of time. Just A Note: -They do offer some lunch specials before 3pm. -The drinks are a smidge… just a smidge cheaper if you dine in.

I met a friend at this restaurant for lunch. When I arrived I found parking on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted and sat. We started with some drinks and I had the LIT and red wine which I enjoyed. For my meal, I had the lunch meal of the spicy shrimp, which was good. I just wish they had more shrimp. My friend had the shrimp and broccoli, which he liked. We enjoyed our time!

The food was good. The service was good. The place was a little noisy at times. I would definitely go back again.

The food and drinks were good, but the serving sizes aren't big enough for the price tag.

Been coming here for years, literally since the early 2000’s. Love all the food. Great Spanish/Chinese cuisine. Some food can be really saucy/oily… be sure to ask about your specific needs, they tend to accommodate nicely.
