About this business

Located across the street from Tompkins Square Park, Yuca Bar is a superb pan-Latin restaurant.

Awesome food – Great tapas and brunch. Best steak and eggs with beans and rice in the city. The wait staff are very helpful and cute. Love this place.

More like Yucky Bar! Avoid it at all costs! – I'm sad to say that Yuca Bar has taken a steep nose dive from my 'favorite places to eat' list. I've been a loyal patron for years, and I've brought tons of residual business to this local eatery through word of mouth to friends and friends of friends. However, I have been disgusted and appalled by the increased deterioration of customer service, the downgrade of food quality, and the lack of courtesy and gratitude from its Management. My friends and I, who have had dozens of gro... read more

Great Time!!!!!!!!!!! – i went to yuca last thursday with some friend from work, looking around we saw the happy hour specials and we went in, the place was packed, so we had few drinks at the bar while waiting. The mojitos are some of best i tried in the city. When we sat the waitress was very knowlegable and answered all my questions since i was not familiar with some of the things. The steak was delish, and the tuna was cooked as requested wich is unusual, the tapas were small but tasty. I will defenatly recommend this pl... read more

Great food, miserable service – Went to Yuca for brunch - the food is great, and the brunch deal includes a drink. Try the Heuvos Rancheros, amazing - on a quesadilla. The service though was abysmal. We order a bloody mary each at the bar when waiting, and got another at the table. The service was slow and not attentive, but we were not in a hurry. When the bill came, there was an extra bloody mary on the bill, and the waitress absolutely couldn't believe that we hadn't had the drink - to the point of being belligerent. It w... read more

If you want to stay hungry, this is a great place – Unfortunately I can't review the food here, because my experience never got as far as actually eating. My ladyfriend and I headed here on July 4th for brunch. Our inept waiter seemed to think his ponytail was all the charm he needed, and he took our order in a way that made it seem it was the first time he'd done something like that. We should have heeded the warning. Quite some time later we asked where our drinks were, and he returned saying the restaurant's computer "had... read more

EXCELLENT food & Strong Drinks – I went to Yuca Bar this past saturday night with four friends for a birthday dinner (mine). Although they wouldn't take reservations, we didn't have to wait long to be seated. The food was Terrific, and the margaritas were good and really, really strong. My friend had the sea bass, and I coveted it all night, b/c it was so yummy. I would get that next time, although the seared tuna special i had was tasty as well. Also, the hostess (whose name I don't know) was so, so nice - a big change from... read more

Fun Drinks, Great Service & Atmosphere – I would definitely recommend Yuca Bar if you're up for a fun atmosphere with good food and drinks! My husband and I decided to go here on Cinco de Mayo. We expected it to be extremely crowded and to have at least an hour wait for a table. It only took about 20-30 mintues and we got a table outside. The mojitos and sangrias are awesome! I felt like I was in Miami with my authentic mojito! The service was quick but not pushy. Our waitress (I think her name was Elizabeth) was wonderful. ... read more

Delish! – Just went here lat Friday night. It was already packed at around 6:30-7! Loved it. Was the best Latin/Cuban food I ever had in the city. We had the lobster quesadilla as a tapa and that was very yummy. I also had the filet mignon which was soo good and juicy! Sangria was also good, atmosphere was lively, and service was nice too. Would definitely go back to try other things on the menu!! Happy hr is until 8 pm I think and on Tuesdays I think tapas and drinks are half off?? So next time I go it will be on a Tuesday ... read more
