Yuca's - Los Angeles

During our visit to the area, we decided to stop by this James Beard recognized restaurant for lunch after exploring Griffith Park. The restaurant is a casual eatery with a busy atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes including a carne asada torta, carnitas taco, carne asada taco, chili cheese dog, and a plain cheeseburger to-go. The torta was delicious with grilled steak, ketchup, lettuce, onion, and tomato on soft bread. The carnitas tacos were served on double corn tortillas and had great flavor. The chili cheese dog was the only disappointment as the chili tasted canned. However, the burger was a standout dish with well-seasoned meat, melty cheese, and warm buns. We regretted not ordering the burger first and will definitely be thinking about it for days to come.

We were driving past and looking for a place to eat when we noticed this small restaurant, which was crowded with a line outside and all the chairs on the terrace full of people. I suggested we try it as it seemed like a good sign that the food would be good. Not only was the food amazing, but we also really liked one of the owners, Dora H. She was friendly and attentive. We couldn't exchange contact information to be friends on Facebook, but I'm sure we'll figure it out. We will definitely be returning, thanks to Dora for a fantastic dining experience. Love you!

I absolutely loved the carne asada burrito, it's the best I've ever had! The burger was also really delicious and surprised me. My wife enjoyed her carnitas taco and said it was the best she's ever had. We had heard about this place and traveled all the way from Oklahoma just to try it.

This taco stand is a hidden gem with friendly staff and delicious food. I have been a loyal customer for over a decade because I love everything on their menu.

The freshly made tortillas at this restaurant are absolutely delicious.
