What I Ordered: Cochinita Pibil Taco $4.00 Cheeseburger $6.00 Cochinita Pibil Burrito $12.50 This place has been on my radar for a while. Being that Cindy S. recommended it, I had to go! We've been exploring different parts of the city, and today was Los Feliz. I wasn't very hungry, but I made room for Yuca's. I ordered the Cheeseburger, which is a simple burger, but trust me, it's amazing! It's like a classic work picnic burger with all the fixings. If you're hungry and don't want a burrito, get a double cheeseburger - they're small. The Cochinita Pibil Burrito is incredible. It's made with slow-roasted, shredded pork, a Yucatecan dish, and is loaded with beans. It's one of the best burritos I've had recently. I also got a Cochinita Pibil Taco for my wife, but she wasn't in the mood for Mexican, so I ate it the next day, and it wasn't fresh anymore, so I won't review it. I highly recommend the Cheeseburger and the Cochinita Pibil Burrito at Yuca's. You won't regret it! read more

Est. 1976- On this particular visit, the credit card machine was down so they could only take cash. I was a little short, but the nice lady took what I had and told me, that next time, I would owe her $1.70. After she took my order, I went to my car and was able to scrape together enough change to cover my food. I asked for some salsa to go. She didn't have any little containers, so she just gave me a 1/3 full bottle of El Yuccateco hot sauce. How cool is that? 5 stars for that service! As luck would have it, my food was also excellent. I had the Conchinita Pibil Burrito. The shredded pork, pickled onions, pinto beans and salsa was so very tasty. Also amazing is the Bean & Cheese Burrito. It's simple but so delicious. Yes, they use American cheese slices, but the beans and the tortillas make up for the simple cheese. I really enjoyed it. Regardless, this little Yuca' hut has been doing something right for almost 50 years. That's better than most, with or without cheese slices! I'l be back. read more

This review is long overdue as I've been coming here for years. IMO this is the best carne asada burrito I've ever had. Consistently good food and service and a true gem in the neighborhood. read more

This is the worst burrito I've ever eaten and the worst experience I've had. The women were rude and dismissive. There was a cockroach on the ground inside their hut. The burrito is tiny and flat. Within five minutes of driving home the wrap it's in is soaked from grease. They do not give hot sauce?? The food is disgusting and made me sick. AWFUL. read more

Best tacos ever! It has been years since I worked in this neighborhood. Used to go once a week! Nothing has changed still the best beans and tacos in LA! Even the tortillas are incredible so fresh and light! If I tbe hood go by and grab a taco or burrito! Also ask for the special jalepanos! So good! Thank you Yucas for staying in business all these years! read more

My go to! Such an amazing LA staple the meet is beautifully marinated and the service is great. Not sure why people complain about the prices when the tacos are $4 and burritos $13. It's less than or standard compared to surrounding places. read more

Established in 1976. I been stopping by Yuca's for years! My parents introduced me to Yuca's; and now as an adult, I bring my husband and children to this little cute taco shack- they love it. I was happy to hear that they are recognized by the James Beard Foundation. I personally get and recommend : the COCHINITA PIBIL BURRITO. Yuca's does not make fresh tortillas on the premise, but they do source it from a local well - known tortilla factory called Tortilleria La California. My second recommendation is their CHEESEBURGER. Try it. You wouldn't think to order a cheeseburger from a taco shack, but just do it. One of the best cheeseburgers around. Very simple and made perfectly- don't ask for them to customize it, order it as is. Tip: the burgers are on the small side (tiny), so maybe order TWO cheeseburgers if you are hungry or don't want to share! :D Lastly, am not a fan of the tacos here or carne asada. I stick to the cochinitas pibil burritos and cheese burger. Just my preference. -Cash and Credit accepted. -Parking available (private lot). -Second newer location in Pasadena. read more

straight garbage. not worth $15.00 a mixture of beans and meat, with very little meat.

The torta is way over priced to small and the meat looks like it was just slapped on hardly any lettuce said no tomatoes they gave me. Load of ketchup I should have ordered a burger but they have no fries they asked what to drink I asked what you have they said lemonade you want something else go to the liquor. The green meat burrito was ok but not a place I would recommend or come back too read more

If Jonathan Gold recommended it, I will eat it!! This place has been on my list for YEARS!! Because it's down the street from my Pilates studio, I never want to go because I'm just done being healthy and I get a cheeseburger?!?! But I felt the urge last week and loved it. It seriously was gone in five bites. Adorable little hut from which the magic is created. Burgers are freshly made so it takes a short minute but so worth it! read more

Yuca's - Double Cheeseburger - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yuca's gets lots of love from her neighborhood. Either we didn't get the right things, or it was an off day, but I thought what we had was underwhelming. We got the chili verde and pollo burritos. Both were small in portion and bland in taste. The location is convenient as it is basically a stand in a parking lot. It's seems like the locals all know they are cash only. I didn't know prior coming, and was told they don't take cards. Thank goodness I had cash on me that day. read more

One of my favorite places to stop in for a quick bite , I get the same thing all the time the Carne asada burrito. It is so delicious! It's located in a small parking lot next to a liquor store , they have a couple tables outside. Family owned , great service , very friendly staff. Placed my order run to the liquor store to get a drink by the time I come back my order is ready . read more

The service was super friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations! I ended up getting 2 of each taco - the carnitas were my favorite by far. There's not a lot of additional fixings to add but you really don't need to. The vibe is chill. The place is basically located in a Silverlake parking lot with a lot of outdoor seating, mostly under an awning. I would go back! read more

steak sandwich was the standout from the three items we tried. loved the ingredients inside and the meat. the carne asada taco and hot dog were good but not too memorable. there's plenty of parking and made relatively quickly read more

The lady was pretty rude at the front and put almost no meat in the burritos. She tossed me the bag when my order was called

Just bc a place is an old neighborhood fixture doesn't guarantee it's good. I've tried to give Yuca's burritos the benefit of the doubt over the years but no more. The overpriced burrito with fairly bland pale meat leaves me feeling ripped off. Plus the lady taking my orders always got a stank-face filled with attitude. Never again. read more

Really really good tortillas. Unique to the area especially Los Feliz. I find most of the food in this area pretty mid especially that street. Yucas is great. read more

The service was good. Times have changed and understandably prices have gone up, I get it, but for $15+ the burrito was very small, was packed with beans and, hardly had any carne asada. The lady who attended me was real nice but definitely overpriced. read more

I saw this place on television and made a note to visited next time I was in LA. They did not disappoint! I got a chili dog with cheese and onions, and it was amazing! The chili was very dark and I've been cooking for hours . I think that I might like a little lighter chilly, but this was amazing! I also got the award-winning Cochinita Pibil taco. It was fine. Tasty. But my least favorite thing I tried. My wife and I agreed that the double cheeseburger was the clear STAR of the show!!! Holy Cow!! THIS is the cheeseburger you have been looking for. Thanks to YE Hamlet O. for the heads up on that. Wow! We'll be back. This place is special. read more

James Beard recognized taco hut that's known for the cochinita pibil. Came here for lunch after running at Griffith, and three tacos hit the spot. You order and pay first, and then they'll call your name. Bring cash. There's a customer only parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Limited outdoor seating is available. The food came out in less than 10 minutes after we ordered. No alcohol here but there's a liquor store across the way if needed. They have limited outdoor tables. The carnitas are also super tasty if you want something with less of a sweet flavor. My dad got the burrito with the cochinita pibil and that came with beans inside. They speak both English and Spanish. read more

I live in the area and make a point to stop by once a month for their double cheeseburger. In my opinion, it's one of the top 5 in LA. Some might disagree, but these little hole-in-the-wall stands really hold their own. Fair warning--it's a small burger, even the double. You might call it a snack. But if you're on the go, it hits the spot. Staff is always ultra friendly, and parking is a breeze. I hope this place never changes. read more

Was driving around this neighborhood, and found this little small taco restaurant and had to check it out. I usually assume that these 'hole in the wall' or small mom and pop restaurants be hitting different, or just to support local family owned businesses. Today my mom and I got a asada burrito and a carnitas burrito. The lady that was taking our order was very nice and patient, she was overall sweet. The food was pretty good, very flavorful and you can tell that the burritos were freshly made. However, the main knockoff for this restaurant is the lack of food. I think we paid like 20ish dollars for the two burritos and these burritos were very small. I honestly expected a lot more food to be inside the tortilla. I may not be cultured, but I was surprised that there was no rice inside the burrito. I think it would paired well with the quality of meat and overall flavor of the burrito combined with the Spanish rice *chefs kiss* Overall, the food was really good, the customer service was amazing but for the amount of food that you get, I would say try it to give your own honest reviews. read more

Extremely overpriced for what you get. I totally get that it's on Hillhurst and their overhead is probably ridiculous, but $13.45 for a burrito with a paltry amount of meat and a ton of beans is inexcusable. I mean, the burrito is about the size of something you'd get at Del Taco. I also had a chicken taco and it was quite honestly the most bland I've had in quite some time. And oh yeah, it was $5. They don't make rice, so don't ask if they can add it to your burrito. It's basically Mex food for hipsters. Nothing more. Definitely won't return. read more

Delicious, quick and easy. Very kind people. They accommodated my dietary restrictions. Perfect low key spot for a yummy taco in between errands or while exploring Los Feliz. I'm eager to try their burrito next time! read more

Used to be one our "go to" places to eat cochinta pibil tacos and burritos. The quality and flavor of the food is not the same. The meat tastes old and super salty as if they're adding seasoning to make it taste flavorful and maybe fresh... I watched them transferring cold leftover meat from a large container onto their plancha grill... there were 3 of them deciding what parts looked good and what part of the meat in container should be used and reheated ... the burrito and taco tasted like canned shredded dry beef. It used to taste like fresh shredded marinated spiced pork. The beans were not fully cooked still needed to be cooked longer... anyway it was awful food! Never again will we be back! read more

Great tacos! Burrito not much meat, basically mostly beans and too salty. More expensive in general than Tacos Delta.

I hate to do this . If you really care about your business, please make some changes. You changed your prices, that's cool. Very understandable, everything went up. Not complaining about that. Higher prices, at least keep the quality. Loved your burritos, been a customer for a while. The burritos are more beans that meat. We all know that. Hey no problem, because they used to be delicious. The last couple of times they were super salty. Did not enjoy them. Heck, I gave your tacos a chance. Asada tacos, more onions than meat. Super dry, and I hate to mention the price. Almost $5.00 each, somehow I paid $25.00 for 4 tacos. Didn't complain, because hey i knew they were going to be great. Well, they weren't. I'll drop by again in a couple of months. Hopefully you make some changes. Put some love into it. read more

The very best taco hut. Authentic Yucatán food specializing in cochinita pibil. There isn't an item on the menu that isn't -next level- quality, burritos and tacos, the carne asada is so juicy, the burger is crazy good and hotdogs as well. If you are lucky enough to score Yucatán tamales one day you'll never be the same. The Machaca is so Memorable. Im actually gonna go there today. read more

This place was fine enough. I got Chile Verde Chicken burrito which was fine, but pretty plain. Maybe I'll have to try something more adventurous next time. I wasn't given any salsa, which is the 1st time that's happened to me at a Mexican spot. Salsa is a must, but I guess I can take the fall for not checking my bag. Overall 6.5/10 but I will be back to try other stuff. As of now, I'd prefer to go to Sonoratown; it tastes better and is closer to me! read more

Best burritos in Los Angeles! Been going here for years and have never been disappointed.

Food is good . Didn't like how the prices say one thing and they charge you another thing . Burrito said 12.50 and charged me $15 .

Decent food, friendly service. I wish there were organic options. If you have a 100 dollar bill they wont be able to break it for you. Strangest thing is a lot of places in LA wont accept cash or have change just for a 100. 48 years in the neighborhood. read more
