Authentic Yucatecan cochinita pibil tacos & burgers
"Closed on Monday, February 3, 2025, in participation with A Day Without Immigrants 2025, a nationwide movement asking immigrants and allies to stay home, not attend school, and refrain from shopping to protest President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The action highlights how restaurants — and the larger food economy — rely heavily on immigrant labor from Central and South America, particularly in light of ICE activity beginning January 20 and reports that many farmworkers have not shown up to work for fear of deportation." - Mona Holmes
"Included among restaurants participating in the Los Angeles Wildfire Community Meals effort, enabling purchases that will be donated as free meals to those impacted by the wildfires." - Mona Holmes
"Yuca’s is more than just a tiny roadside stand, it’s a neighborhood institution that’s been serving very solid cheeseburgers and cochinita pibil since the 1970s. Their classic roadside burgers are nicely on the griddle, and you can get their citrusy stewed pork in a handful of ways, like a taco with pico de gallo or a hearty burrito with pinto beans that requires two hands. A meal at Yuca’s isn’t necessarily life-changing, but it’s a tasty option for a quick roadside lunch and a must-try-once experience if you live in or around the Eastside." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"We can talk about the asada. We can talk about Yucatan pork. But I’m gonna talk about a burger. A burger grilled on that same grill where they make… the asada. And the Yucatan pork. Is it the best double cheeseburger in Los Angeles? If you were to tell me that, I’d say, 'Give me your hand.' I’d say, 'Give me your hand in friendship.'" - brennan carley
"Scheduled to participate in a Regarding Her happy hour at Cuernavacas Grill on March 24 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., Yuca’s will be one of the food contributors for the event." - Mona Holmes
