Best Mexican ever
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

02/27/2007 Posted by dteam

This is the ultimate neighborhood taco stand: always friendly, quick, cheap, and the food is mindblowingly delicious. The burrito is basically perfect, with mouthwatering shredded beef or pork, tender beans, and a dry floury tortilla. Try it with the green sauce. I think the machaca beef burrito is the way to go, but the carne asada's not bad either, and you can't complain about the pork. Definitely not for vegetarians or dieters, but Yuca's isn't trying to be anything it's not; if you're looking for simple, wholesome, incredibly yummy Mexican, this is the place to go.

Pros: Great food, cheap, unpretentious

Cons: No veggie options, small menu, often closed at night

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

Vegetarians should avoid Yuca's. They use animal fats (read: lard) to prepare their beans.
