Came here for a birthday lunch with my mom. Great experience! We sat inside, the ambience was calming & inviting. Due to being earlier in the day, it was nice & quiet. The Salmon Carretillero was very tender and flavorful ! The Inferno Half Chicken was really good ! Fell off the bone as soon as it was picked up. The margaritas were strong and the perfect way to top off lunch! Everything was great.

It was our fist time at Yeppa. It was a great day to sit outdoors. We ended up sharing the dishes because they were all soooo good. Service was helpful and attentive. The food prices were reasonable for the quality.
