Amazing! We had the Cuban (so delicious) and torta carnitas. We also had El Cubo that came with a bottle of champagne and 3 juices (pineapple, orange & strawberry). It’s so bright and beautiful inside. We can’t wait to go back again and again to try all their dishes! We had the best Sunday dateKid-friendliness: Perfect place for a brunch and mimosa or a family day out

We called Yuca to reserve a table, and they informed us that one was available. However, upon our arrival, they informed us that the table had been given to someone else, and we would have to wait 40 minutes for the next available one.

Great food! I got the churro waffles and they were delicious. Served was really quick but I also felt slightly rushed at the end since my friends and I wanted another coffee but our waiter had already brought our bill unprompted. Not that big a deal.

This is a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and a nice atmosphere. They also have drinks, beer, and wine. I love the avocado toast.

Delicious!!!! We ate here for the first time today and we are so impressed. This is nice and cozy restaurant but there’s plenty of seating, and the food was so so so yummy! We ordered the biscuit bowl and the big bad wolf, both were so tasty. We can’t wait to come back. Heather was our server and she was super nice and made sure we had everything we needed! 10/10 recommend Yuca!!!

One of the best steak and eggs I have ever had! Packed with flavor and the steak was extremely tender. The ambiance was also extremely clean and stunning. I love that they also have a designated parking lot making it convenient for customers. The service was also great. My only comment would be that I asked for ginger ale and the waitress gave me a cup of lemon lime syrup with club soda. I would have preferred if they simply told me that they did not have traditional ginger ale so I could order something else.
Worst Cuban I've ever had. Tasted like a pulled pork sandwich with nothing else going on. Way overpriced as

My wife and I shared a great brunch at Yuca. From the drink choices to the unique food menu, this place is a must visit. Outstanding menu with a Caribbean flare. Jerk chicken, chorizo, crawfish, put together with eggs, in sandwiches or salads. Great coffee and attentive servers.

I have been following Yuca on Instagram for a little while, but due to distance didn't make it in for a while. I am SO glad I finally committed to making the trek. It was worth every mile! The vibe and decor are easily some of the best in the Cincinnati metro. Service was stellar. I ordered tacos and the dip appetizer. The ghost pepper queso was too hot to eat (like, really hot), but the other dips were delicious and the chips make the entire appetizer worth ordering. The tacos were absolutely delicious. Yuca is definitely a new fave. I won't be waiting so long before my next visit.

What a snazzy restaurant! I was in town coworking with a colleague and Cincy local. They suggested we visit Yuca for lunch so we made it happen. When we arrived we were totally surprised by the space. It's beautiful, with a ton of natural light and wooden features. When you first walk in you can see into the kitchen, which I always find really cool. Towards the back of the space is a giant vault where they display their alcohol options. It's all lit up which makes it stand out. After grabbing a seat and looking over the menu, we decided to share the shrimp tacos and their four amigos tapa plate. The shrimp tacos lunch came with four tacos and they were just the right amount for sharing. The tapas plate included their house made tortilla chips and four dips (a red salsa, a green salsa, guacamole, and a ghost pepper salsa). The tacos were flavorful and you could tell everything was fresh. I will give a friendly warning that the ghost pepper salsa was more than we could bear. And we like spicy food so it's not for the faint of heart. The ambiance was lovely, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was solid. I will say that the food menu is small, but they have a hefty drink menu, including spiked coffee. I have to imagine the weekend brunch there has gotta be a vibe. I would definitely come back.

Not the same old, same old. $81.84 including tax and tip for unsweet tea, two chiliquiles burgers, Cubano sandwich and a torta carnitas. And all of the other dishes coming out of kitchen looked tasty as well. Full bar menu with specialty drinks, too. We’ll be back.
