Yuca is the perfect breakfast spot in an area of Kentucky where restaurant chains are slowly being eliminated. This spot has elevated versions of basic breakfast items. They are a made from scratch kitchen that puts a Latin spin on their dishes. First the lighting is so nice inside with all the windows providing lots of light and a nice variety of seating including bar seating. Our server was great and made sure we were always good on drinks and other items. I had the churro waffles which were delicious and I loved the Tequila Crème Anglaise that was on it. The creme had the perfect amount of sweetness and didn't make the waffles soggy. My husband got the biscuit bowl and he said the chorizo really stepped the dish up. It was nice to escape the common fast food chains in NKY with some actually tasteful and homemade food. read more

Indoor and outdoor seating options at this lovely establishment! Terrific vibe, unique menu, and super staff. :) We chose to dine outside as part of my Mother's Day celebration. I can't remember his name, but we had the most fabulous server. My younger daughter got the waffle and my older daughter and myself chose the French toast. LOVE the French toast! I will definitely be back! read more

I think this is my new favorite breakfast/brunch spot in the area! It's a small space inside but we had no trouble getting a table for two on a Saturday morning. The service was quick and friendly. Their menu is fantastic! Super unique with all sorts of cool fusion dishes. I got the Big Bad Wolf (waffle with pork belly, candied bacon) and my wife got the West Indies Omelette. Everything was perfectly prepared and tasted great. They also have a bunch of cocktails and breakfast drinks which we didn't try today, but will next time for sure. We will definitely be back for the rest of the menu! read more

Food was excellent!! I loved the breakfast poutine and my street tacos. Also had an iced coffee that was good too. I was pleasantly surprised to be seated quickly. It doesn't look like there's a way to make reservations online, so for a Sunday brunch that was great. read more

Yuca needs more attention! I was most impressed with the high quality ingredients, great service, and stunning features. Absolutely love the design! I popped in by myself for a quick bite, hoping to read a few pages in my book. Although it's not the coziest spot for reading, whoever styled Yuca killed it. The poutine was so good but had a bit more kick than I would've preferred. This is a me problem, not a Yuca problem. Even with the spicy jalapeños, I would order this again! 10 out of 10, do recommend. read more

Whoa! What an incredible experience! I love brunch. And i have been trying to hit Yuca for a while. Finally the stars aligned and i was able to make it over to dayton ky for brunch. It was so good! Coming in the door the space looks open, bright, sunny, and, clean. The restaurant was busy but not crowded. We sat at the bar and the waitstaff and bartender were super friendly and open to all questions. The menu is latin inspired breakfast and lunch. There are multiple Gluten free offerings which is listed on the menu. Yuca only serves breakfast and lunch, they do not do dinner. I started with a couple mimosas. They were delicious a little sweet, but very good. Everything on the menu looked delicious, food and drinks alike. For food, I had the fat zach. My girlfriend had the tacos. Both were really good. Pro tip: If you order a bloody marry i would request a pint glass. They are served in a punch glass which looks pretty, but not very functional. Net Space: 5 stars Food: 5 stars Cleanliness: 5 stars Service: 5 stars I highly recommend yuca. It's worth fighting the bridge traffic. Yuca is perfect for a brunch with elevated feel. This not a greasy spoon. It is a great spot to meet others and have a nice brunch read more

It was my first time to Yuca. I love it. Heather was our server. She was so nice from picked up my called for reserved the table and took care of our group. Making me feel welcoming. Prices were a bit high if you just look on the menu. Try it!!! THEN, Yuca proved that they were more than you pay for. Food was so delicious. My favorite is Big Bad Wolf. I have to say thank for who created this menu. I think I could eat it everyday. Love it. Ambiance was cozy and in style. Service was great. Overall I would recommend this place and cannot wait to go back. Thanks for having us read more

Good service, food was enjoyable, we visited as a family but would like to return as just adults for more drinks! The only downside was a huge group (4 tables pushed together) being so loud the restaurant was unbearable and we couldn't really talk. While not explicitly the restaurants fault that this group was so loud, maybe in such a small space they shouldn't allow large groups to push tables together? read more

Great brunch, creative options both sweet and savory. Excellent Bloody Marys! Cold brew coffee. So much to like. You can't go wrong on the menu. read more

Yuca was a delightful place to meet some dear friends for brunch while we were in town. We opted to eat outside since we had our pup. The inside looked cozy and comfy so it was a bummer to not get to eat inside. The staff were super kind and even brought our pup some water which always gets bonus points in my book! I ordered the fat Zach and it was wonderful. I can see why it was the top reviewed item on the menu. read more

This is my second time coming to Yuca for brunch. I love how bright it is inside! I came in around 10 am and there was no wait time. I ordered the Fajita Greens, which I didn't have high expectations for because well salads for brunch is not my go to. The server asked me how I wanted my steak, and I was pleasantly surprised (Usually restaurants just have a default for the steak in a salad). The salad itself was great! The tortilla strips gave a nice crunch; the dressing was light and flavorful; and the steak was nicely cooked. I paired it with a mimosa. (You can also choose to get just a bottle of Prosecco with juice for $30). I was left feeling full, but not overly full where I would need a nap. On Sundays, the restaurant hands out flowers to the females! This is a nice little touch. If you like tequila, they have a vault, which opens up and you can see the tequila they have. It's a solid brunch in my opinion. read more

Very happy that we tried Yuca! I had confused it with Cedar but realized once we arrived in Bellevue that this was not the place we had visited before. We walked in around 12pm and were seated immediately. With it being a smaller / downtown size restaurant I thought there'd surely be a wait. I ordered a cocktail. The espresso one with coconut... I can't remember the name. It was delicious and not too sweet. I was stuck between the French toast and the Cubano but I took our server's advice and went for the Cubano. The sauce had a little kick, which was different and appreciated. The fries are insanely good. My husband ordered the Argentinean filet and eggs. He ordered the steak medium rare, which was spot on but his over easy eggs came out over hard. Our server brought out and order or over easy eggs and comped them. He said that without the yolk the dish was pretty dry but with it, it was quite good. Service was superb. I really appreciated her recommendations and willingness to correct the mistake. read more

A friend and I stopped by for brunch on Sunday. We lucked out with walking in and getting a table right away at 11:30 Yuca is located in a former bank, lots of natural light, which was coming in thanks to a sunny day. Almost drink and food menu. It was so hard to pick what we wanted to eat. We did start with.4 Amigos tapa The chips are made fresh and came out, warm, and the salsa, guacamole & queso was so good. My friend went with the biscuit bowl. She said was really good and I ended up with the fat Zach I also enjoyed the margarita beer combo Redneck Margarita I definitely will be back to try more of their wonderful food and also great service The one item my friend commented is they definitely need some type of sound panels, it was very loud in the space & hard for her to hear for us to have a conversation it was also very busy. read more

What a snazzy restaurant! I was in town coworking with a colleague and Cincy local. They suggested we visit Yuca for lunch so we made it happen. When we arrived we were totally surprised by the space. It's beautiful, with a ton of natural light and wooden features. When you first walk in you can see into the kitchen, which I always find really cool. Towards the back of the space is a giant vault where they display their alcohol options. It's all lit up which makes it stand out. After grabbing a seat and looking over the menu, we decided to share the shrimp tacos and their four amigos tapa plate. The shrimp tacos lunch came with four tacos and they were just the right amount for sharing. The tapas plate included their house made tortilla chips and four dips (a red salsa, a green salsa, guacamole, and a ghost pepper salsa). The tacos were flavorful and you could tell everything was fresh. I will give a friendly warning that the ghost pepper salsa was more than we could bear. And we like spicy food so it's not for the faint of heart. The ambiance was lovely, the service was friendly and attentive, and the food was solid. I will say that the food menu is small, but they have a hefty drink menu, including spiked coffee. I have to imagine the weekend brunch there has gotta be a vibe. I would definitely come back. read more

Yuca By Cedar - Street Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellevue, Kentucky

My family of 3 came for brunch on Sunday. We got a table right away. I ordered a mezcal Paloma off the menu, and they came back and said they didn't have mezcal ( despite having a tequila vault). I asked for the same drink with regular tequila and was given a strawberry drink ( a version of a drink they had on the menu). When my drink came back the second time it was still not correct ( server brought a margarita and not a Paloma). Food was just fine, took a long time to arrive and service was slow. Restaurant was cute but no desire to return. read more

A gorgeous restaurant with a great ambiance, Yuca is a gem. We went at 9 am for breakfast. The trio of dips with the queso, guac, and chili hot oil salsa were all fantastic, especially the salsa! The hangover with shrimp instead of chorizo was very good as well. The ingredients were fresh, the potatoes were crispy, and the flavors were bold. I can't wait to come back and try other items. read more

One of the best steak and eggs I have ever had! Packed with flavor and the steak was extremely tender. The ambiance was also extremely clean and stunning. I love that they also have a designated parking lot making it convenient for customers. The service was also great. My only comment would be that I asked for ginger ale and the waitress gave me a cup of lemon lime syrup with club soda. I would have preferred if they simply told me that they did not have traditional ginger ale so I could order something else. read more

I have been following Yuca on Instagram for a little while, but due to distance didn't make it in for a while. I am SO glad I finally committed to making the trek. It was worth every mile! The vibe and decor are easily some of the best in the Cincinnati metro. Service was stellar. I ordered tacos and the dip appetizer. The ghost pepper queso was too hot to eat (like, really hot), but the other dips were delicious and the chips make the entire appetizer worth ordering. The tacos were absolutely delicious. Yuca is definitely a new fave. I won't be waiting so long before my next visit. read more

Amazing food, chorizo with everything!! Service is great, very friendly. Food is very unique.

I have been to Cedar before, so needed to try their other restaurant... and what a lovely surprise (I think I like Yuca better)! I had Caribbean French toast which was amazing, and a friend had the Churros Waffles which were out of this world! It was hard to pick just one thing off the menu. Everything sounded delicious!! The food was delicious. The service was fast and friendly. Now let's talk about this place. It used to be an old bank, and they turned the vault into a tequila room. The owners are frequently traveling and adding new and unique bottles of tequila which you can pick for your margaritas and other cocktails. Definitely something that makes this place unique. ¡Salud! There is also a room in the back, perfect for larger groups! They don't take reservations, but if you have a big party, make sure to call before you're headed their way and let them know you're coming with a big group. Can't wait to come back. read more

We had an underwhelming experience at Yuca. The service was extremely slow (it took nearly 2 hours for brunch) and the food was all very average. The menu looked mouth watering but every plate (there were 5 of us) was just average. Nothing wrong, nothing to tempt us come back for more. The two things that stood out was the fries were super yummy and the coffee cocktails were delicious! We may have to come back just for a side of fries and a coffee drink! I personally had the Big Bad Wolf and was bummed at how little Pork Belly was in the dish. The pieces were so small that you could barely taste them. read more

Food was very heavy and greasy I felt the menu was deceiving on that. When I read crispy chicken thighs I wasn't expecting it to come out a fried chicken sandwich!! The menu should have labeled it as a fried chicken sandwich, which is what it was, I never would've ordered it had I known. Flavorless, no salt, just oil, I feel SICK. The menu seems like it's trying to be elusive and unique. Incredibly disappointing. read more

This was our 3rd or 4th visit to Yuca and we like it so much!! The service and food here are always solid! Everyone liked their meal though mine got a little spicy for me by the end. It was just something in there that caused the spice to keep building instead of mellowing out. I ordered the Steak and Eggs - it was a delicious dish that everyone else at the table enjoyed as well! Yuca is a great place to enjoy an early breakfast or brunch with friends - it's not too loud that you can't hear one another but it's not so quiet that it feels awkward. read more

I've wanted to love Cedar, as my son shares the name. And all of the food is delicious but just doesn't hit the spot for me.

For the record, I would go back to Yuca if given the chance. Their restaurant has great indoor and outdoor seating options and for whatever you're looking for. Their menu has some appealing options and the staff is helpful with recommendations and input. The staff also had roses which they gave out to the ladies in our group. Overall, it was a great experience. I held off on giving them 5 stars only because there were other places I went to that I enjoyed more and felt were worth their value. read more
