   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.

   I've dined at Yuca Bar a handful of times before, but this recent evening felt rushed - our dishes came out cold, we barely finished our meal before our check was handed over (60 min into a 90 min reservation), and we only had the opportunity to have 1 drink during happy hour. Our waiter didn't tell us the happy hour specials, rather the bus boy (shout out to him!). So would I recommend, no - not if you're looking to enjoy a semi decent meal in under an hour.

   The host was so great he actually had us seated about 10-15 min before our initial reservation time. Our waiter was also very informative and the food/drinks were great.

   The food was good. I was in a party of 8 and they had 3 small tables placed together. I felt the party should have been seated in a different location since reservations were made days in advanced.

   Food was just “ok”.Fatty steak tacos. First greeting was waiter telling us about the time limit at the table. Well we couldn’t wait to get out. Very loud and mediocre food.

    Delicious food in a fun atmosphere. Very tasty guacamole; platano relleno and pinchho de pollo. The tres leches is extra special with a layer of gauyava paste on top! Service was friendly and prompt. We had a great time. Note: staff ask to turn tables after an hour and the calamari was rubbery— skip it.
