best mojitos & sangria in the city!!!!!!!!!!!!! – great place for birthdays, is one of the best places to take out of towner, or group of friends after work.The mojitos are to die for and the sangria is one of the best i've ever tried.Service is always attentive and quick, tapas are delicios and decent portions. The atmosphere is fun and you feel like you are on vacation somewhere else. I've been there many times and i'm definitely heading back soon.

Editorial Review – Colorful Latin restaurant serves tapas-style fusion dishes like lobster quesadillas, Cuban sandwiches and tuna ceviche, plus powerful margaritas and sangria.

what a disappointment – having been a steady customer at 7A (across the street) and after being informed that Yuca Bar shares the same owner, we looked forward to enjoying a good Latin inspired dinner. I will be kind and say that the only decent thing was the guacomole, the Paella was horrendous, it was served barely warm, most of the clams and mussels were not opened and was by far the worst paella we've ever eaten. we also ordered a special which was monk fish in a mango infused sauce..... bland, small and awful, no presen... read more

My Favorite Latin-American Tapas Restaurant! – Their Sangria puts this alphabet city restaurant/lounge on the map as one of the best sangria in Lower Manhattan. My favorite tapas include the amazing Arepas, crispy Yuca fries that will make you wish you grew up eating these fries, Mussels served in a mouth-watering sauce (make sure to ask for a side of bread, this sauce is amazing!) and the Ribs that melt in your mouth. If youre in a large party, make sure to include their main dish called Carnitas which offers 4 different ty... read more

Great way to start off 2006 – My husband and I went here with another couple for New Years, and we had a great time! As soon as we walked in, we were seated. The drinks were strong, the white sangria was amazing! The lobster quesadillas were the best I ever had. We had the Yucca fries,which were absolutely awesome! They were the type of food that you will crave for days after. The prices were extremely reasonable,and the atmosphere was great. I would definately go there again!!

If You Like Bad Attitudes... – Upon entering the doorway, the host, with a sour expression confirmed the number of guests in my party, and as he grabbed mentions, while turning on foot, told me outside beverages were not permitted. "Oh, could I pour my coffee in one of your mugs?" Without considering or even an apologetic, "No. Sorry -it's policy," he just said no. "Funny, I have been able to before." "Yeah. Well," was his reply. The water was tepid, the coffee is horrible, and when food came out, we had to search for our ow... read more

NYC Gem – I've been in the restaurant about 10 times already and haven't been disappointed once. The food is delicious, the chef is a master of sauces..they make every dish seem like its a 5star restaurant. The food is served with great aesthetics without overdoing it. The portions are perfect. And besides great food the drinks are strong and delicious (at happy hour $5, cant be topped) Caprioskas are delicious. But my favorite part of the meal is the cafe con leche. It's perfectly Europeian-quality strong coffee without the... read more

A great night out – My friends and I made plans to go out on Friday for some good latin food and decide to go to Yuca Bar since we've been there for brunch and we love it, we figured dinner has to be good...well it was!!!, food was delicious, great music, service was great. After dinner we decided to move over to the bar and have some drinks. The bartender made us the best drinks which included Mango Mojitos and Margaritas. We had so much fun. Next day I woke up feeling great after some very satisfying dinner and best drinks... read more
