YUCA, an acronym for Young Urban Cuban-Americans, is widely known as being South Florida's original upscale Cuban restaurant featuring Innovative Nuevo Latino Cuisine or as the locals call it "Nuevo Latino." This style of cooking includes traditional Latin ingredients such as a plethora of textures, colors, and flavors that when combined creates a cuisine that is unique to anything offered outside of the Caribbean and Latin America.

    Service was great. Everything was delicious: Cuban comfort food with gourmet touches. The cocktails were also classic yet modern.

    I have celiac disease. A server came and served me the incorrect dish. Double check or don’t come here if you have severe food allergies. Food was excellent, but the getting sick from the wrong meal was NOT worth it.

    Wasnt my first time here, but the food wasnt as good this time around. Tables need a little maintenance, had to move from original setting due to a wobbly table. Service was great but a bit slow.
