First it's a little bit easy to miss this restaurant.
Their food, especially fish, is very good with no more than $10 per dish !
Very economic for 3-4 dinner~ -

The boneless spare ribs here are the best in the area

I've been ordering from Nueva Victoria for about a year now. The service is always solid and the food always hot and fresh. I always get the sesame chicken with pork rice and some egg rolls - and they throw in a free can of soda. It's like $10.50 and it feeds two; can't beat them on price/quality.

This is certainly one of my favorite places in sunset. I usually order the 2 pork chops with pork fried rice which I have yet to finish in one sitting. Sometimes there is too much garlic but still good nonetheless. With that said you get a lot of food. The staff is top notch. I usually place orders for pick and the whole crew remembers me which is cool. The iced tea is bangin. Just thinking about makes me want to order but I have to wait since Meatopia 2011 is calling me!

Also known as Nueva Victoria, this isn't a Spanish-Chinese fusion restaurant. Literally it's a little bit of cheap Spanish food, and a little bit of cheap Chinese food. This is the coolest thing ever for one reason: The restaurant, run by Chinese people, has a mostly Hispanic/Latino clientele, and all the Chinese staff there know Spanish fluently. That's so freakin' cool. Soooo cool. It's almost hot. Yes the other takeout places know Spanish a bit. But they don't have the combined menu, nor the rapport that this place has with it's customers.
There are those who may think, well it's just some quirky thing that happens and this guy is just some outsider being like oh that's so rad and hip. No. It's cool because considering the racial climate of the neighborhood that is Sunset Park, I feel like there you couldn't get any more volatile than two working class immigrant cultures, one vastly different from the other and in terms of New York, at very different stages and with very different ways of going about the community. This is a sign of unity. Yes I said it. I feel like I get enough shit for not being in the correct part of Sunset Park and seeing this is amazing.
Ok so the food. The place is small, but much cleaner and nicer than the takeout-ish restaurants in the area, they have real tables and kind of basic Chinese decor. The menu is limited because they have almost too simplified selections from both the Spanish end and the Chinese end. But the food is good. I had the steak with mushrooms, the steak was a little tough but the gravy was thick and tasty and the shrimp lo mein, while not something I get usually, was much better than the lo mein at the other takeout places.
Definitely coming back here for takeout again. -

It actually has a room for dining...I hesitate to call it a dining room, but there you go. Food is generous, take-out/delivery orders get iced tea with the order (huh??), and you can be called Mama by the guy at the counter if you ask any questions. My kind of place. This is one of the few 5th Avenue Chinese places I would consider actually eating IN. Scratch that. It's the only one. It has brisk business with a varied customer base.
One thing that was kind of funny:
When we saw the iced tea being added to our order, both my husband and I thought it was some kind of beef broth. We had no idea it was cold, first of all. And we didn't read the menu carefully to see iced tea comes with the order. It's still in the fridge because I'm a little nervous about trying it. The whole beef broth idea is still floating around in my grey matter. -

The food was okay.
I decided to go with the spanish styled food; some sort split chicken breast. Comes in some sort of garlic sautee. I decided to order after seeing the high reviews on Yelp, but the restaurant does not have an on-line menu, so the guy on the phone recommended this. It came with tostones & a tiny little salad (shredded lettuce & one slice tomato), no veggies, no rice for $9. They gave me a couple of slices of white bread & butter & a "Free" coke. I dont drink soda or white bread, so I wish they would have used that on rice instead... but then again, they don't have brown rice, so. bleh... All in all it was okay.
chicken was okay (if you like a robust garlic-y taste for no reason), salad was okay (if you like shredded cold iceburg & sliver of artificially ripened tomato), portion of tostones was excellent and customer service was excellent.
I have pretty picky standards
(So add another star if you're easy to please). All in all: I'm no longer hungry, its food. But it wasnt an explosion of flavors in my mouth making me want to run back for more.
One day I'll try the general tso's chicken and report back

Pork with fried rice and platanos, in a serving the size of my head, and a Corona for less than $10, with tip.
My friend got the steak and they had to fold it over twice to fit it on the plate.
Pretty damn fabulous. -

My aunt introduced me to this place and its pretty damn good. I had cuban mixed with chinese style food plenty of times and they usually all taste the same. This place really is no different, and its always the same great tasting food. They have a good coconut milkshake and the staff are really friendly.

out of this world general tso's...stays crispy even after refigeration and microwaveaing....
mediocre lo mein
LOVE the ice tea instead of fortune cookie--excellent trade off and a really nice touch
excellent service, and good people watching, just as long as too many white folks (yes you) don't come and ruin the joint! -

Even though Brooklyn's Chinatown is only three avenues up, you sometimes want general tso's chicken sauce drenched all over your plantains. This place used to be a less than memorable dry cleaning establishment turned into something of a hybrid between american chinese and spanish. The result...some unique and curious creations!

I love this Resturant!! The people are very nice and surprisingly they know who I am. (I swear I only go a few times a month). My favorite meal is the 2 pork chops with pork fried rice with no vegetables combination. It is the best Chinese food I ever had in my life. I always get it and it never dissapoints. It is pricy but that's ok I only buy it once in a while :). Oh plus the workers can speak Chinese, English, and Spanish, I don't know about you but I give them props for that!!
