About this restaurant

Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem
Lively

Right in the heart of the East Village, Yuca Bar & Restaurant has been dishing out the best of Latin flavors for over two decades. Our menu is like a journey through Latin America, serving both timeless classics and fresh twists you've gotta try. And when it comes to drinks? Our cocktails are straight-up fire. Sit yourself down at our open window seating or the sidewalk café – prime spots for some solid city scenes and epic people-watching. Don't even think about missing our weekend brunch; it's a Latin food party you'll want to be part of. And hey, taco fans? Taco Tuesdays are on with a 50% off deal. For those in the mood for a deal, we've got an all-day, every-day happy hour that lasts until 8 pm. But the real party kicks off every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with live DJ sets, bringing down the house with Latin rhythms and reggaetón beats. At Yuca, it's more than just food; it's a full-on Latin experience.

The Host was very nice and tried to accommodate my preferences. The server was also very nice. The drinks were great. The menu is geared to meat and chicken eaters with very little for vegetarians or pescarians and they do not make ANY changes to the menu at all. Not a restaurant to ask for any flexibility or substitutions. I think this great spot that is geared to your college aged crowd, with basic food and good music, which is fine for that. If you are a more mature discriminating diner, this might not be the place for you.

We loved the vibe here. The bright decor is mixed with moody lighting and Latin music, creating a space that feels like you stepped out of the east village. Drinks were even better than anticipated, with great prices on happy hour until 8pm. Food was good, lacking a bit of spice in my opinion and chicken was a little dry, but overall solid options. They didn’t rush us, and we sat and enjoyed for a couple hours. Would recommend.

Drinks and food were great but the service was so slow given there wasn’t even that many people there.

I’ve been coming to Yuca Bar for many years. It had been a while but it did not disappoint. The wait staff could not have been nicer. The ambience is beautiful. The food and drinks were delicious.

I have been to this location many times in the past but this time it was definitely disappointing. First, they could not find my reservation. They eventually sat us in the back near the two loudest individuals! The two other adult women with their child spent the entire time cursing and speaking very loudly. At one point their child began to bounce a ball right next to the table. Despite a number of patrons looking at the table and being visibly bothered, the staff did nothing to address the table and their disruptive behaviors. As for the for the food, my husband and I ordered the steak and eggs. While the food was not bad, the steak did have a charred taste, despite requesting that it be made “medium.” The empanadas were very good as well as the yuca fries and red sangria. The experience was not the best but I am hopeful they will do better our next visit.
