They recently added chilaquiles + eggs + steak (& bloody Mary) = pure heaven!
Sean McKenzieJuly 18, 2011Great bang for buck brunch, Pre-fixe and worth every cent. The steak and egg, yuka fries and sweet plantains are highly recommended.
Make sure everyone in your party arrives at the same time, otherwise you get a side of sass and nowhere to park your rear until all are near.
Alice NgJuly 23, 2014You can't go wrong with huevos rancheros. So good! They only seat complete parties.
Santi AmayaJune 7, 2015The food is great, the drinks are strong. Normally food is expensive so come on Tuesday nights when tapas are half off!
Ina LiFebruary 5, 2015It's not Spanish but Mexican tapas. Still really delicious but kind of pricy for the neighborhood
My favorite spot to meet with my friends. Sangrias are deliciously deathly.
Carmen EchandiApril 9, 2018Celebrated my sisters 54th had a great time awesome drinks and food. Highly recommended.
Dima RJanuary 25, 2015Brunches are great always, but the music in the afternoon is blasting my brain away, tidiculous kinda
Eddie CavsSeptember 18, 2013Great Mexican food with a little sophisticated twist. Reasonable prices too
Lina BodestadJuly 17, 2013Great service, great atmosphere. The crusted salmon was delicious. Highly recommended!
New York HabitatNovember 17, 2011Happy hour on Tuesdays - half price tapas! We recommend the Platano Relleno, wash it down with their tasty sangria.
EvanJanuary 16, 2013Rowdy happy hour (inexpensive drinks 'till 8pm most nights) with a side of sweet plantains.
Liz TangNovember 10, 2012My go-to place whenever I am at ABC city. Love the pomegranate and pineapple mojitos!
Yuca Benedictos and bloody Mary. Get it EVERY time I go here for brunch. SO YUMMY!
The espresso BBQ ribs were beyond amazing! It's been a few days and I'm still thinking about them
Michelle CJune 4, 2016We couldn't order any food until 5:30. The garlic mashed potatoes were peppery and barely edible, while the grilled veggies were delicious. My friend was underwhelmed by his ceviche.
The best Sangria around. Grab a date, order a pitcher, enjoy.
Katie RyanSeptember 4, 2013The food was good, we couldn't enjoy with no AC the place was so hot. We had ppl around us sweating and leaving. We'll be back in the winter.
B NMarch 27, 2010Carnitas plate. It really is for 3 people, not 2. It is so amazing and comes with everything you could ever want with meat meat and more meat!!!!!
Sharon ChenJune 21, 2009Go on Tuesday and 1/2 priced tapas and drinks! I recommended the caipirinha. Or go on any other day to get 3 sample tasting of their ceviche! It's worth totally worth it!
No meal here is complete without the churros!! Make sure you save room for them.
Vanessa Alexandra PestrittoMay 19, 2012Arepas are a must for brunch! Watch the cash counting when checking out :-/ It is more poor communication than cheating, so be clear!!
If you do not try the ribs you are INSANE! The first time I tried them I almost CRIED as the flavor was so amazing, I didn't want it to END!
Michael HusseyJune 16, 2012Try the Guacamole - Best guacamole I've had in a long time...great job, Yuca Bar.
Alex WolffMay 28, 2013If you linger long enough at the outside tables then they'll lure you away with free booze- Our waiter said the red sangria is better than the white sangria
Rima BakhruFebruary 23, 2014Love Yuca...but way too loud during dinner on a weekend to have conversation.- DoubleDeuceJuly 2, 2016Was highly disappointed that with 15 open tables, they wouldn't sit me while waiting for the 2nd person in my party. So I left. But have been here otherwise. Meh, it's okay. Outside seating is nice.
