I chose Yuca 105 for our first girl's night out in Miami Beach. What a great way to kick off our vacation! The fusion of Peruvian and Cuban was excellent and the atmosphere was sexy and vibrant. I had to try their piscojito cocktail which is a fusion of a mojito and pisco sour. Loved it!! We got a variety of dishes to share: octopus appetizer (Revolucion de Pulpo), Inka Maki (an interesting octopus roll), traditional ceviche, a chicken dish and the skirt steak (Churrasco a lo Pobre). Everything was excellent and teaming with nuances of flavors. The only gripe is the chicken was a bit dry but still good. As the evening progressed, live singing and music commenced. They were a talented pair singing song requests. The ambience and stage here make this place fun and also perfect for a date. Our server and staff was also very friendly, upbeat and solicitous. I would love to return and repeat this experience next time I'm in Miami Beach! read more

Below average. Super disappointing. Cuban and Peruvian clearly don't mix well. The lomo saltado was just odd, meat was chewy and under seasoned. The ceviche was average ( we tried 4), ropa vieja also average. Jalea again average and unremarkable. The most disappointing and borderline disgusting was the tacu tacu, fish wasn't fresh, scallops were chewy and under cooked. Overall a shame when compared to the highly superior Ceviche 105. Yuck. Stay away. Don't waste your money. Manager was rude as hell. Apparently we are wrong in not liking plates of dog shit. read more

I've walked by this so many times, but finally decided to go in when I wanted a close by Friday night dinner. Pretty nice interior with a lively bar next door. The food quality is much higher than many of the local Cuban or Peruvian restaurants. Huaman Lee Tiradito: This is my kinda of sashimi! High quality thin slices of raw tuna and salmon, drenched in a flavorful Latin sauce. It's different from ceviche in that the raw fish doesn't sit and "cook" in the sauce, it's just a last minute pairing. Which means full freshness and full flavor! Vaca Frita: A pretty good rendition of vaca frita. It resembled a proper steak cut, instead of just a mound of pulled beef. Though it still had that same texture and marinated taste. The onion-centric warm salsa on top livened up the flavor. The rice, beans and plantains made it feel like a comfort Cuban meal. Pargo a lot Macho: Wow! Just wow! Perhaps the best Red Snapper I've had in town. And I do love me some Red Snapper when I visit South Beach. To begin with, their snapper was huge. They deboned the meat, coated it in batter, deep fried it, and reassembled it next to the deep fried bony body. The yellow sauce was a great companion to all the fried fish. Plus they added some clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops in the yellow sauce to make it very indulgent. Glad they put some fried yuca sticks in the mix too, since those are much better than French fries. Pisco Sour (Passionfruit): The nice pisco sour rum flavor base enhanced with vibrant passionfruit. Only downside is that they seemed to skimp on the foam a bit, compared to what I saw other people get in their regular pisco sour. read more

We were very disappointed with our experience at Yuca 105. The food was average; we ordered the ceviche and lomo saltado, and while both were okay, they definitely didn't justify the price. The drinks were also an issue; we ordered three, but the waitress forgot one entirely, and service was very slow overall. The restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the shortcomings. We wouldn't return. read more

YUCA 105 - The margarita - Cuban Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I ordered the Lomojo Congrí and it did not disappoint. A classic Peruvian lomo saltado served over crispy potatoes, topped with a perfectly runny fried egg, sweet plantains, sautéed onions, and a rich, savory gravy. It also came with a side of their house congri, which tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was bold, comforting, and packed with flavor. Service was excellent--the waitress was attentive, guided us through the menu with great recommendations, and made the experience genuinely enjoyable. The ambiance is stunning. Think crystal chandeliers, modern touches, and an upscale yet welcoming vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. At $26, the value was absolutely fair for the quality and presentation. This is a must-try spot in Miami. Between the food, the service, and the atmosphere, Yuca105 nails it. read more

YUCA 105 - Cuban Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We stumbled upon YUCA while staying in South Beach and were pleasantly surprised! The menu looked great, the prices were fair, and when we arrived they happened to be hosting a special event for the 41st anniversary of Miami Vice. There was a private room for that group, which added a fun energy without really interfering with our dinner. The food was excellent. I ordered the ropa vieja, which was flavorful and tender, while my husband had the roasted Cuban-style pork, topped with a wonderful combination of cilantro and white sauces -- he loved it. I also tried a spicy guava margarita, which was amazing and perfectly balanced. The meal began with complimentary yuca chips, which was a nice touch. The only hiccup was that our waitress got a little distracted with the large event toward the end, so it took longer than expected to get the check. But overall, it wasn't a big deal given how much we enjoyed everything else. Delicious food, lively atmosphere, and a very memorable night -- we'd definitely come back! read more

Stopped by for dinner and ordered the lomo saltado sushi which tasted like lomo saltado in August form. Only thing that was missing were the fries. Flavor was spot on. Also ordered a strawberry margarita with lots of mint. I also tried a different sushi with avocado which was delicious as well. If you're in Miami and looking for Cuban and Peruvian fusion this is the spot. read more

We celebrated an event with two VIP dinners here last week. The Ceviche is truly a delight! As were our main courses, desserts and the obligatory mojitos!

Our event producer made a fine choice with this establishment. read more

Awesome place to get some tasty small plates and incredible drinks in the heart of Miami Beach. The Huancaína Trufada and the Yuca Ceviche were bursting with flavor and had us licking the sauce from the plate after we finished them. I will be lusting over those dishes for quite some time. Washing it all down with a Pisco Sour and Mojito really hit the spot as well. Both come in all sorts of delicious flavors, including guava which is the flavor we chose to roll with. The Mojito was good but the Pisco Sour really stole the show in the drink department given how flavorful and refreshing it was on a hot day. Definitely the best Pisco Sour I've had. I would skip the Jalea Mixta, it looks good in the menu description but it's essentially just assorted fish calamari. I would look for a different entree, or just skip entrees all together here and go with the small plates. Their small plates are unique and hard to find elsewhere. The service is also very friendly and helpful with the menu, which is certainly intimidating if you're not used to this type of food. Highly recommended! read more

i hate leaving bad reviews but it needs to be done. this place is way to expensive for the poor quality of food. please whatever you do DO NOT ORDER the samurai cubano sushi roll. it was such a disappointment and made us queasy (understatement). it tasted like a bad roast pork deli sandwich & the mojo aioli actually tasted like mustard. the chips de guajiro was almost FLAVORLESS, the black bean "hummus" was okay compared to the other two dips. & the "hummus " was also reused on the sushi...... the only thing i will give to them is the fact that the vaca frita was good but the beans on the side were flavorless and the small portion of meat was just not worth the price. do yourself a favor and avoid. read more

We spotted Yuca105 while driving to our hotel and immediately decided we were going to have dinner here. We didn't have reservations but were seated promptly and hostess and servers were attentive and friendly. Marco our server was phenomenal. He made my mother feel like the Queen she is. The manager also checked in on us which was super nice as he recommended a maracuyá cheese cake that was out of this world delicious. For our appetizer we shared the traditional croquetas de abuela and the traditional ceviche with mixed seafood. The ceviche had us mmm-ing because it was limey, flavorful and each bite was better and better. For the main course we shared the chaufa especial and my sister said it was in her top 3 of best chaufas. Overall loved the atmosphere and service. read more

I came here with my family on a Sunday evening right when the place opened and got a table outside. We were greeted by very friendly waiters who took our drink order to start. We ordered virgin pina coladas and mojitos and loved how refreshing the drinks were! In addition to drinks, we had 2 orders of lomojo congri and the tacu tacu meri meri macho, and the yuca 105 signature sushi. Unfortunately even though we informed them of an allergy, they brought out the sushi that had the allergen in it. Overall the food was so so, and extremely overpriced. I'm not sure I'd visit here again - there's much more moderately priced and better tasting Cuban/peruvian food on south beach! I did give an extra point for kind servers and a clean bathroom! read more

Highly recommend! So delicious! Nice atmosphere! I'd been at a conference and made some new acquaintances, and we all needed a light meal at the end of the day. I love seafood (I work in ocean conservation and seafood policy, so yeah, give me that delicious sustainably-sourced and nutritious seafood!!!) so a new Miami Beach resident recommended we go to Yuca 105. We were seated immediately and ordered Inca Kolas, which has a wonderful cream soda flavor and a bright yellow coloring. Then my table ordered several appetizers and similar to share. When the food arrived, I was in heaven. We had citrusy ceviche, guava doused salmon with avocado, delicious tuna tartar, and the first octopus dish I've ever liked: roasted octopus maki. It was all amazing, perfect for sharing, and I hope work sends me back to Miami Beach just so I can eat here again! And for three people who split their order three ways at a nice enough restaurant, it was under $40 for each of us including with the addition of a decent tip for the great staff! read more

Delicious Peruvian Ceviche at Yuca 105 in South Beach Washington Ave. I asked for medium spicy and the ceviche definitely had more than medium spice but it was so delicious even with it being spicier than I usually get. They have some outside patio seating as well as inside seating. They also have some Peruvian based cocktails to pair with your entree. Would be recommended for a romantic or girls night date. Nicholas was our bilingual server and he was real pleasant and checked up on us throughout the meal. Would return again! read more

Oh my! Where do I start!?? The space is very pretty, nice lighting, interesting decor pieces and wonderfully lovely staff. This place is a fusion of Cuban and Peruvian cuisine- their menu definitely lives up to it. I had a pisco sour and it was above expectations! We started with the tostones appetizer that included some seafood on it. Some sushi- the lomo option and the other was sort of like a causa. Both were equally very good but my fiancé and I did enjoy the lomo one slightly more ;) we then shared the seafood chaufa which was mouth watering flavorful. Merely thinking about it makes my mouth water!! I absolutely will be back to try some of the other items on the menu. It was a lovely experience. You did good babe! I forgot to mention we also had the mousse dessert which was divine!!! Light but yet so fulfilling. The cookie crumble really complemented the mousse - perfect pair! read more

This was best decision to try fusion of Peruvian and Cuban food. We arrived early, around 6-40 PM and the told us that band is going to play very soon. I got very excited and we sat at the bar. First, service is very nice! Not only decor and atmosphere are good but also service and food. DAMN, this place is perfect. Everybody came to check on us if we were doing good. I loved it. We started with complimentary plantain chips (always wanted to try those). Other places on SB charge for them around $7 so it was very nice. My cocktail with GUAVA puree was absolutely MIND BLOWING. PAN CON TIMBA remember this cocktail and order it! must try. I ended up ordering 2 of them. My HUBBY took Mojito. I had ceviche and sushi. (105 Yuca) OMG sushi was just amazing. Again mix of flavors and spices. My husband took Peruvian dish Lomojo congri was very delicious and filling as well. Love the plantain and sauce is to die for. This place exactly what I wanted to visit while in Miami - live music, good Cuban/Peruvian food, classic food with modern twist, stylish decor and good atmosphere. My husband also ordered Crazy Cuban cocktail that came with beautiful presentation. Band was amazing playing- it was such a nice fun vibe. We definitely will be back while in Miami. I also end up telling my friends that are also in Miami. read more

Food is fantastic! We were going to go to another restaurant for dinner but it was closed so we asked someone for a recommendation and they say yuca 105. We had carretillero habanero for appetizer it was superb and beautiful. We drank moscow mule but they heavy poured the alcohol but it was tastey. I didnt finish it to much alcohol. We also had Chips de Guajiro , love the yucca root and plantains. Finally we tried sushi roll with white fish , the Yuca 105 Acevichado. It had sugar on the top, it says glazed sweet potato but it tastes like ground sugar. Service is traditional latin style a bit slow. And no tp in bathroom!! If it wasnt for that it might have been 5 stars. Decor is very hip and all young couples wearing nice dressy clothes. read more

Dishonest tourist trap where the servers will try to trick you into upsells without telling you what they will be charging you. It starts with the "Would you like still or sparking water?" upsell scam where they try to sell you $8 dollar bottle of regular old water. And today they tricked us into ordering "drink specials" that were double any other cocktails on the menu. The two drinks were even entered as "open liquor" on the receipt. Completely dishonest. The ceviche is good but everything else is bland food that you can find at any takeout. Horrible, dishonest servers. BUYER BEWARE. read more

I'm glad we stopped into YUCA 105 on a whim! It's the brain child of owners of CVI.CHE 105 as well as Y.U.C.A hence YUCA 105! As such, it's Peruvian Cuban fusion. Usually I don't care for fusion restaurants in general But YUCA 105's perspective is SO fresh and interesting. Our sever, Daniel, was fantastic! Made great recommendations and was full of knowledge. Too bad we were too full for the lucuma dessert!! We had the: *CARRETILLO HABANERO CEVICHE (Fried pieces offish and crispy black beans over golden yuca sticks. Topped with yellow pepper cream) -- So this ceviche was unlike any that I've had before because it had both raw and deep fried pieces! It was such a fun textural, temperature contrast and VERY tasty. It came with pieces of yuca as well. It was the best preparation of yuca I've ever had - nice & fluffy! My partner usually does not care for yuca whatsoever and also really enjoyed the yuca. *EL NORTENO (Roasted pork perfectly marinated. Accompanied with green cilantro rice and served over a bed of lima beans and arugula, onion, tomato, radish and cilantro salad) - This dish was SUPER flavorful. This dish almost read Chinese to me - in a good way. The cilantro rice reminded me a bit of fried rice with the carrots & peas.. The pork itself reminded me of Shanghainese braised pork belly - such deep comforting flavors with much umami and savoriness! We also had a couple of cocktails (The Crazy Cuban and Chilcano) & I have no complaints. It wasn't that busy, so I hope to see YUCA 105 around when I visit again! Go check it out folks!! read more

This was one of the BEST meals and experiences I've had in Miami. The decor, the drinks, the food, the service...everything was amazing! My cousin made reservations. We were seated immediately. The decor inside is beautiful! We sat in the dining area that has a view of the kitchen. The seats were decently spaced out, which I appreciated since we're still in a pandemic. We started off the night with the drink special for the night, a Havana old fashioned. It was a nice twist on the classic drink. For dinner I had the Chinito en la Calle 8. It's essentially fried rice packed with seafood. It was a nice size portion and it was so flavorful! There were several different types of seafood in the dish including shrimp, calamari, mussel. I asked for mine to be made a spicy and it just the right amount of kick. I didn't know I needed a Cuban-Peruvian fusion style of fried rice but it's definitely now one of my favorites. Now this is where things got fun! My friend had the lobster ceviche, recommended by our server. She said it was some of the best ceviche she's ever had! My cousin had the arroz con langosta (on the menu it's the arroz con mariscos) and she loved it! For both of the lobster dishes, the servers came to the tables and broke down the lobster for them! They didn't have to anything themselves which was lovely since that whole thing can get messy if you're doing it yourself. For our birthdays, they came over and sang and we had some sort of sorbet dish to celebrate our birthdays and it was pretty good! They did charge us for it though so I would likely just skip that next time. Overall great experience! Gabby, our server was the absolute best! She gave us wonderful recommendations and was very helpful at helping meeting dietary needs. I'm totally going back next time I'm in Miami! read more
