Here you`ll find a restaurant that dishes up a Mexican cuisine. Expect the average entrée to cost under $8.

Owned and operated since 1976 by the Herrera family, Yuca’s draws raves for its delicious Mexican cuisine served up fast and fresh from a little stand on Hillhurst Avenue. Indeed, it’s not much to look at, and there are only a few tables – most of which are always spoken for. But it’s consistently rated one of the best Mexican restaurants in L.A. and received a James Beard Award designating it one ... more

Machaca is my new favorite word. Stewed, stringy beef! In a burrito with some pinto beans. Warm flour tortilla wrapping it all up. About the size of a small envelope, not the rolled stomach bombs served up at Mexican McDonalds' like BJ Fresh. These burritos are tasty, juicy, small, and only $3.50 (something like that). Where else can you eat for under $5?
Well, lots of places, but not in this ... more

No they don't have chicken. The tiny shack/kitchen can only handle so many ingredients and cooking supplies, and pork is their specialty. All you need to know about Yuca's is the "cochinita pibil burrito". Get it, you will like it. Do not compare it to all the burritos you have ever had or liked. This is s a traditional Mexican slow-roasted pork dish from Yucatán. Preparation of traditional cochinita ... more
