Editorial Review for Yuca – by Lesley Abravanel
In Short
The who's who of local power and politics dines here; table-hopping is common. Yuca's change in ownership (original co-founder Ephraim Vega sold his share in order to open the now-defunct Maya) and a succession of chefs haven't had too adverse an affect on the menu. Points should be given for the imaginative cuisine--a crisp plantain basket filled with shrimp and conch, or a pan-seared tuna with coconut curry rice, for example.

Yucca is not only ridiculously overpriced, but its food is far below mediocre. They should be ashamed to butcher Cuban cuisine in Miami. Portions were small, as was the flavor. I'll give them credit for creativity, but there's a difference between simply putting interesting foods together, and putting interesting foods together to achieve interesting flavors. I really don't understand what all the hype is about, I was extremely disappointed.
Cons: bland, expensive
