Yuca restaurant in the heart of the East Village has been a local favorite for many years. The recent upgrades to the decor have been well-received, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The Platano Rellano appetizer remains a unique and delicious choice, perfect for sharing. The margaritas are a crowd-pleaser, and the Latin-inspired ambiance with lively music adds to the overall experience.
While some recent visitors have expressed disappointment with the food quality, such as oily yuca fries and overly dressed salads, the majority of reviews highlight the restaurant's consistent deliciousness, with the tuna ceviche, causa, and paella receiving high praise. The grilled calamari is also a standout dish, offering a charred flavor that sets it apart.
The service at Yuca is consistently praised as friendly and attentive, even during busy periods. The restaurant's location in the East Village, with its old-school charm, adds to its appeal as a neighborhood gem. Overall, Yuca remains a popular destination for those seeking a taste of Latin-inspired cuisine, lively atmosphere, and an enjoyable dining experience.
