Very cute restaurant, packed on a Saturday night. We ended up getting the guacamole to start, chicken and fish tacos. They pack a lot of people in this place, the table is small and you're practically on top of the people next to you. Guacamole was great and came with lots of chips. There's an option to order it with and without pico. Our waitress didn't ask us if we wanted it, brought it and charged us $3 (so tell them ahead of time if you don't want it) My fish tacos were delicious, the piece of fish is huge and the taco is packed with flavor. Looking forward to coming back here! read more

Much changed for the better with new owners! Servers know the menu and make great recommendations. Food is awesome and a good value! Small venue with outdoor dining which turns into a club after 9PM. Make sure you make a reservation for dinners. read more

I went for lunch during the week and was sat immediately i wanted to try the lychee mocktail but they said the lychee was frozen its funny because it was during happy hour so you could get a cocktail for 9 but my no alcohol cause 11 not great. The squid was over cooked but the sauces were good and the taco had way too much sauce it made it really messy and soggy. read more

This spot was popping and it was completely worth it! Our sever was Angela and she was phenomenal. So sweet and attentive. All of the staff in the restaurant was so kind and everyone would check on us. We did the Espresso sauce wings, the Cubano sandwich, and carne asada tacos. Everything was so tasty!! They have daily happy hour for 9 dollar margaritas. This place is awesome. read more

I think I was here years ago, and it looks like it's been remodeled with an updated menu since then. This is a great spot. The decor is colorful and festive. The bartenders are social, attentive, and skilled at making drinks. It was hard to choose because everything looked so good. I came with a birthday group, and the staff made sure we had great seating. The windows opened to the outside, so we could still hear the music from inside. I would definitely come back, but with so many places in this area, I'll have to plan to hit a few more while I'm around. I do have to take away one star because the slaw on my fish tacos was overwhelming. Honestly, they would be better without it. Shout out again to the bartenders. They are the stars of this place! read more

Cute and cozy spot. Our server Valeria was very patient and courteous. We came in already a little tipsy and she didn't seem too annoyed by our giddiness. The food was good but the portion sizes could've been bigger. The price was really great, they were having an extended happy hour which they do on Sundays and mondays. We also got free margaritas for joining their rewards program. read more

Strong, delicious drinks with yummy yuca fries? I'm in! Plus available outdoor seating with great people watching! Yuca Bar is perfect place to grab an adult beverage and a quick bite to eat before a concert. Staff was attentive and friendly. Menu could use more vegetarian options. I tried to order plain (cheese) quesadillas but was told they only had meat quesadillas. As a vegetarian who can't eat raw veggies, I was left with the veggie burger as my only option. Happily, the veggie burger was really good! But honestly, if I go back, I'd just get the fantastic yuca fries and coconut margaritas. read more

I visited Yuca Bar after attending an event at a nearby art gallery and decided to grab dinner with a family member. We arrived shortly after 9:30PM to a lively atmosphere with plenty of patrons eating and drinking. Security checked our IDs, and we were welcomed with a smile. We were politely informed that the kitchen would be closing soon because the space transitions into a lounge/club later at night. We ordered a shared meal and drinks, everything was very good. The restaurant was playing Latin music that paired well with the food, which felt like a mix of Mexican, Colombian and other latin/fushion options. The tables are on the smaller side, and the space is set up fairly tightly for dining. Around 10:30, a DJ began setting up as the staff cleared tables to make room for the lounge setup. We were given a heads-up to close our tab, but they welcomed us to stay if we wanted. We hung around for a bit and eventually left around midnight as a younger crowd began arriving to party. There was a line forming outside. The DJ was playing a fun mix of Latin music, overall, a cool vibe. It's been a while since I have been in this part of Manhattan, and so much has changed, but the energy of Alphabet City definitely has not. Its still a unique mix of culture, art, and diversity, with just a touch of sketchiness as you walk through the streets of Lower Manhattan. Theres a lot to do and plenty to see if you are interested in exploring a neighborhood that has so much to offer. If you haven not been, you should definitely check out this part of Manhattan. I might go back again soon. read more

Came here with a friend on a beautiful September afternoon. Sat inside and got some Happy Hour drinks . I think the frozen or regular Margarita was $7 and $2 extra for flavor. I got a coconut frozen Margarita with tajin which made it a bit spicy. My friend enjoyed his regular Margarita. The best drink was the frozen Caipirinha with lime and mint . Wow ! That is delicious. Also had guacamole and chips with 3 different colors of chips . Pretty tasty and came with Pico de Gallo too. Staff are extremely friendly and cool . This is a lively place with a great Latin soundtrack. Probably good for Birthday parties too. I was here at 3pm on a Friday and Happy Hour was in effect (even at tables. ) read more

We made a last minute stop for dinner here an early Sunday evening. I panicked because we didn't have a reservation, luckily we were seated right away. We started with their garden salad which was phenomenal. I still dream about it. I'm upset that it's the only thing I didn't take a picture of and truly regret it to this day. The service was good and food was really delicious. My husband liked his sangria. My frozen mango margarita could have been a little stronger. Otherwise, it was a truly great evening. The restaurant is so welcoming and cozy. Would return again and again. This was our third time there. The last time was about six years ago. read more

We decided to have brunch here. Please feel free to correct me and add an additional star if I am wrong. Their "Huevos Rancheros" comes with "Eggs any style over black bean quesadilla atop tomatillo sauce, Mexican cheese, guacamole & house cream". I requested "no quesadilla". When the dish came, I realized it had no black beans in it so I let the restaurant know and she said that I requested "no quesadilla" and clarified the black beans, that go on top of the quesadilla was not put on it. I didn't say "no quesadilla and black beans". I found that odd but she kindly asked if I wanted a side of black beans in which I happily said yes to. When the check came, they had charged us for the side of black beans. The music and the restaurant was very loud at this point and I was so annoyed that we didn't want to argue w/ the waitress. I am really disappointed about this. read more

Yuca Bar is a one of my favorite restaurants in the East Village. The food is always good, and the staff is excellent. Cynthia always makes me feel welcome when I come in for lunch. Plus, they serve the best sangria in the neighborhood. Couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Solid spot. Let me start by saying that the drinks were fantastic. The margarita that I had - and I'm not a margarita drinker - was very good and everyone at our table really enjoyed their drinks. The chips and salsa we started with were good as well, fairly basic but no complaints. For my main I had the octopus which was quite good, but was nothing over the top. Service was good as well. We did have to ask for our waters to be filled a couple times but that's all right. Ambience was perfect for what we were looking for - a chill spot to grab some drinks and food on a Wednesday night. Overall, we'll definitely come back to Yucca bar for drinks. I don't know that we'll come running back for food though. read more

I came here with a group of 6 and got seated outside immediately! The service was quick but the tables were definitely a little too small for all we ordered! We all shared the espresso BBQ ribs, yuca fries, paella, ceviche, chips and guac, empanadas, and yuca croquetas! read more

I came to this establishment like 10 years ago. And just went this week for my mom's bday. Didn't make reservations because it was on a Tuesday like most places aren't crowded lol Anyway got there like 6 table for 3 only 2 of us were there at the time and we were able to sit . (Some places make you wait until your full party is there) it was nice and warm in there thank god because it was freezing out. We didn't know they had so many specials like 1/2 tacos and 30% off the tapas. And obviously happy hour which we knew about until 8. Me and my mom had margaritas hers with salt mine without. Omg! Strong as hell. Definitely worth it. We started with the tapas until my son arrived. My mom got the yuca croquettes. Delicious! I ordered the chicken skewers it came with white rice . They burnt my onions and peppers a bit , not a big deal because the chicken was so flavorful. The sauce it had was delicious. My son arrived he ordered his Mexican cola lol he ordered from the tapas the Cubano sliders . He said they were good . I ordered the chicken tacos they only form in corn tortillas which i don't love but these were like cooked and had like a great crunch they were very good. My mom got the fish tacos. I didn't catch the waitress name but she told us she was from our home town in Puerto Rico (Mayaguez) she was a delight from the start. She was Theo not waitress I noticed with the help of the guy that kept filling our waters. My son brought my mom flowers and the kind guy brought out an ice bucket with water to put the flowers in. That was so cute and thoughtful. They also helped us embarrass my mom by singing happy birthday with the most delicious flan I've ever had. Thank you so much we will definitely come again read more

Can only speak to the drinks as I came for happy hour.. but 100% worth it for happy hour. Goes until 8 every day and has solid deals on all types of drinks. Even their specialty cocktails qualified and were $9 each! Their Tequila Espresso Martini was sooooo good. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a good HH in the area. read more
