Yukka in Bronx

Excellent restaurant. Plenty of variety. Latin fusion. There were dishes from all over South america, Central america and the islands. The appetizers were wonderful. I ordered the pulpo aka octopus appetizer. It was sautéed in a green garlic sauce. Delicious is the word! I almost drank the sauce, thats how good it was. For the main dish i ordered the ropa vieja. Very delicious meat. I also ordered the guava tres leches as dessert which was very yummy as well. Will definitely be back. Also, definitely get the passion fruit juice. It tastes so good!

Love this restaurant, great food, good drinks and ambiance. Recommended

Live music and delicious food, the perfect combination

4 stars for food because they close up too early for a weekend. 5 stars if they can extend it!

Went on Friday night, and it was packed tightly. It was busy, that I got a water refill after eating my meal

Good food, good service, good atmosphere!!

A great place, with live music on Fridays, the guys at the bar and tables are very attentive.

Delicious appetizers and drinks.

My family went first, then recommended the place. The food is spectacular, everything we tried was better than the dish before. Go, you wont be disappointed!!!

Friendly service and nice atmosphere for a date. Food left a little bit to be desired. But still worth coming and trying it out.

Great food, service,n environment. Good place to eat.

Very good place love it....

love this place..very nice and the food is very good

Excellent food, everything we tried over several visits is fresh, well spiced and well cooked. Good drinks. Quick courteous service. Great atmosphere. Vegetarian options: Tasty!

Food is delicious. Excellent service.

The food was flavorful and, the best Lobster Mac and cheese ever had. Service was friendly. Some menu options were not available

So good. I recommend.

Food was delicious. Our servers were very friendly.Highly recommend.

$28 for 4-5 shrimp and tostones that costs $1 or less. Unacceptable. We waited over 90 min for our meal to arrive. Our server rarely checked in on our table. Service was some of the worst I ve ever experienced. This was the worst part of Father s Day. I ll never return. Step up your game!

Overall disappointed in the lack of preparedness for a busy day and the lack of attentiveness from staff/ownership. They simply did not care if we needed water or drinks as we waited over 90 mins for food on Fathers Day with small children. Our waitress could not be seen and never gave a clear explanation on how long food would take to come out. We were excited to visit as a group but we will not be going back.

Great place for friends to meet and enjoy the atmosphere.

Excellent service food was delicious . Staff super friendly . You should try la Travesia cocktail.

Love the whole menu! My favorite are the Tuna Tartar, and Pulpo al Ajillo!!!

great place to hang out!!!!!

Delicious!!

Great drinks Great food The second time, service was just not 100%, maybe 95% Food : 5/5

Wonderful! Our waitress was very cordial and attentive. We love the tapas.

Super different. Very rich everything with a super pleasant atmosphere in peace and harmony

Excellent ambience, good food,services,life music, easy parking spots and of course good drinks!

Buyer beware: This restaurant will charge a post-purchase credit card processing fee thats in violation of the NYS Consumer Protection Laws. When you ask for the check and offer to pay with a credit card, you will be charged a credit card processing fee. This fee is not listed on the menu or posted anywhere in the restaurant. As far as the food goes, do not order the skirt steak. First attempt at medium rare came out well done. Second attempt was rare and barely cooked. I am not sure whats going on, but a Latin restaurant that cant properly cook a $38 skirt steak is not worth the visit.

Nice ambience, great music and TV to watch games....

Everything is excellent

Love this place. The food is good, so are the drinks. My favorite is the Churrasco with yukka fries, the people are friendly and always helpful plus theres always a vibe.

Food and drinks were great. Totally recommend.

We had the best time at Yukka. The atmosphere is so classy and artsy with cool looking hanging lights and beautiful original art on the walls. Service was top notch, with plenty of staff ready to assist. Food was fresh and delicious. We had the guacamole, the pan roasted chicken, veggie paella, and lava cake for dessert. Everything was amazing. I also had one of their signature cocktails (whiskey sour) which was great. What a treat to find a restaurant like this!

The food was amazing. Music was hittin . The only thing was it was a small space. I felt like I was on top of other people

I love this place some nights they have music but the food is always good!!!

Great food and ambiance

Excellent

They used to be good but now the service is awful they will ask you to give out your table and that there is a time limit, they should say that to customers the moment you seat or reserve. Asking you for your table just because the place got busy when you are still consuming is disrespectful

Food is ok. Ambiance and service is great!!! Update: We visited agin last night. We had an amazing time. Live music and drinks were absolutely amazing!!! Recommended dishes Ropa Vieja, Churrasco Skirt Steak

Best Latin Food in NYC! The food is so flavorful.

1st time here and was very impressive, great staff and service. Will definitely return.

Food and drinks are great, highly recommend. If you like Tequila this is the place

Great service, food and atmosphere.

Excellent service, food is always good. A little pricey.

Excellent service. Super food, always pleasant atmosphere and music, super cozy. We keep coming back again and again!

Great place .

Food is always amazing! Super great service.

second time here food is good great service

Stopped by randomly and had an overwhelmingly good experience. I ordered the pernilito and was angry when I saw that it came with chickpeas. To my surprise, the chickpeas tasted amazing, they were the best thing on the menu. Our server, Anthony, provided unparalleled service. It was extremely hot by the windows and he took it upon himself to turn the AC on for us. I would definitely come back for the food and the atmosphere. The place is lively but not too loud. Absolutely loved it!

Food was made to perfection, is a Morden Dominican cuisine. The drinks we re good as well. I would go back!

Food is delicious service friendly and courteous. Location is ver nice and parking you always find

Delicious food but a little on the pricey side. $18 for a kids cheeseburger

Horrible food and service!

Attention was good but Salmon was not the same. I got a piece of fresh salmon with a lot of white onion on top and a small cup of shopped mango with cilantro on the side. The original recipe had a delicious sweet mango glazed sauce in top of the salmon. Coconut rice was not the same either. Because of this inconsistency on a good recipe, I give them 3 this time.

I love it nice staff

What a disappointment!!! This place is in my neighborhood and this is my first time there (and last). We had reservations for 7pm and they did not have a table for us. When they found one - 15 min later they told us we had to be out by 9 as they had a large party coming in. Now, I am fine with all this except the food did not some out for over and hour. Could not get service, had to flag down people for water and when the food came out it was served in little desert plates. Not even a real plate. I told the owner but he just stared at me like he didn t get it. So, I just don t need to go back. There are way better places to eat in the neighborhood.

great ambience and food

The food is amazing here! You do have to wait a bit if its packed like it was when I arrived but the wait is well worth it! The best food Ive had in a long time. I waited a little longer than I would have liked but it was worth it and the wait was not due to lack of attention but because of how full the restaurant was. I recommend it.

We contacted them over the WhatsApp and made a reservation. When we went there, owner was telling us that they dont make reservations over WhatsApp, we need to call the owner. Also, She was saying there is no reservation for outside tables and when I asked her that people are leaving and we can sit then she start telling me there is a waitlist for outside. I am not sure if she really understands what she is telling me. Doesnt make sense at all! My friends came from Queens for that reservation. They could be kind and try to find a solution to cover their mistake. If you dont care about WhatsApp questions or reservations, why you give wrong information!! Terrible place.

The food was not that great they also give u small portions and its was really expensive for no reason wont ever go back there again

This place feels like home. Cant wait to come back.

Cool and welcoming. I love Yukka

Delicious!

The food was very good, the cappuccino was a little soft.

We planned on going to restaurant next door ( closed ), so since I had heard good things we went for dinner. Very yummy.

Parking: Free parking Kid-friendliness: Very Nice, excellent care Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Totally amazing place to visit.

Very nice place and elegant. The food is great. And the people are great.

Parking: The other option for parking is, using the small shopping mall parking lot thats across the street from yukka. Food

Great place for a drink or two, service is top notch and the food was amazing... I will definitely go back to this place.

Ive been here many times & it NEVER disappoints! Everything in menu is great, presentation is beautiful & get ready to eat, portions are huge. Friendly staff. attentive, on-point, good dose of checkin w/table but not overly done. Live music after 9 on Fridays. Fun & pretty large bar area setting w/ TV screens. this place! Sitting outside available. Parking: Free street parking after 7pm.

An afternoon with family, quiet, pleasant, good service

Very nice place. Food is awesomely delicious.

Food was excellent! Music was superb.

The food and drinks were delicious!

Great food! Ive been there only twice but impressed with the food and service both times.

The food was absolutely delicious, such flavors. The serving size was more than enough. First time I came here, I asked the owners to consider to come to my village.

Amazing food !!!!

Good atmosphere, service and food, presentation of good artists

The place is very good and the food is delicious...but the drinks are very bad...

Wonderful! Tuna Tartare... magnifique! Salmon... prepared just right with the perfect glaze. Paella... yum! You must go. Carol Ann

Great vibe, food, and staff.

Great food and a comfortable dining experience. Music for all tastes that isnt intrusive, normal conversation without shouting. The only drawback is the draft of cold air when the entrance door is opened. A vestibule would work wonders. I have dined here a few times and the consistency is refreshing.

Excellent. The food was amazing. Great mojitos

This place is very nice, the ambience is great, the DJ was amazing. He was hitting all those great songs that make you want to dance. The food is yummy! The service not the best but they try to make you feel comfortable. I would definitely come back.

The food is delicious. Drinks are soo good as well. Service was also great. They even offered to change my phone with out me asking. Its great overall.

A nice cosy place, uptown there in La Bronx, where you can find sometimes a local band doing a good performance. Servers over here are very kind, nice, and fast, the atmosphere and the different paintings of the different celebrities give him a unique style that he had not seen before although I think that the price of the different dishes is a bit expensive to be located in the place that is. I went to see a friend performance and had a good time, I also had a nice and good meal. I order the Seafood Paella with come Saffron rice, shrimp, lobster, Squid & mussels, the amount of seafood was very big and the portion of the rice was big to feed two people, I ended not finishing my plate, even I think the price was a bit high, but I will say it was worth it.

Great drinks, and good food.

Great ambiance! The waiter was very pleasant. Would have given it a five stars , however service was very slow.

I think Yukka was a nice experience. The live music really set the mood. The service was a bit slow, but still good. The drinks were good. The food was good. My wife and I will return.

Great ambiance, food is delicious and waiters are on task. Very friendly staff. Great music!!!

Good environment, and live music on Saturday.

I believe in second opportunities, their service improved a lot, and the food was ok. Looking forward to returning

Yum

Good ambience and good portions

Yukka Restaurant has a cozy environment. They has an area where you can have a small group party. They have table seating and an area of bar chair seating. I found the staff friendly and helpful. The menu selections were nicely presented and had a good taste profile. I would visit them again.

Enjoyed a lovely dinner outdoors for our wedding anniversary at Yukka. Everything was delicious, the guacamole with fried queso Blanco, the bacalao croquettes, the empanadas.

Fantastic place! The food is amazing and the customer service too. Ive been there on Fridays when they have live music (not loud at all). AND, no hookah. Parking: Easy to find parking in the area. Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.

Wonderful place for dinner very tasty food recommended..

Very good food, the octopus I can only say, too good

Gentleman at the bar was very welcoming , nice vibes

I came here before and it was alright . This time around I have to say the disappointment was greater. I got here 7 mins after my reservation and was told they don t have a grace period (this is NYC with NYC traffic .. if Eleven Madison Park, (fine dining restaurant in NYC has a 15 mins grace period , this little bistro in the Bx should too.)

Excellent atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Order churrasco steak. Amazing. Frozen margarita a tad bit sweet but overall excellent experience.

Excellent place to spend a great time with friends and family.

Overpriced

Definitely a hidden gem in Riverdale. We didnt even eat inside. We ate outside on a beautiful night. I caught up with my friends after being away on a 10 month deployment. We all kept saying, wow this is really a cool spot, the food was delicious the vibe was just right. They even had a dj and a guy singing doing his thing. Great date spot too or to see some attractive women...

Good lunch specials happy hour specials

Very good place to share.

Probably one of my top choices for dinner... Every night

Ambiance & Decor beautiful done. We ordered a variety of appetizers, would recommend the Pulpo Al Ajillo. Sadly, our waiter delayed in bringing out the appetizers and only checked in once during the meal. Poor customer relations, food a bit pricey for what you receive.

Went here on the recommendation of a friend. Most of the food was very good- seafood paella, octopus, and ropa vieja. The calamari was greasy and my daughter who usually devours calamari wouldnt even touch it. However, the service was so incredibly horrible I will never go there again. Was told there were no tables available while one table stayed empty by the window our entire meal, so we opted to eat outside( no I didnt make a reservation which I admit). The host couldnt even give me a ballpark time when an indoor table would be available. The service was so awful- we were practically ignored. I had accidentally dropped my fork and then my napkin when I took my daughter to the restroom. I asked 2 employees for a new set of silverware- in Spanish because it seemed they didnt speak any English, and after my food was sitting there I just got up and went inside to the table that sat empty inside the window and grabbed my own utensils. And when the host came to ask me how things were I told him I was upset since I asked twice for a new set of utensils and he didnt offer an apology just called me mi amor which I hate- very condescending, and said basically- but you have it now and how is your food? Seriously? Never again. On a positive the drinks were good.

Excellent attention! Good food and super good prices I recommend it.

A nice experience with amazing food!

I differ from some of the opinions here, the place is nice, the service is good but at least what we ordered was very tasteless, and likewise the dishes served were very few for a somewhat high price, a guacamole served in a giant plate and it looked like just a mashed avocado and thats it...and it puts you on. Piece of cheese to hide, the steak very small and expensive, the accompaniment just as minimal...I wouldnt go back.

Food and service is excellent! They have a live band on weekends which gives the atmosphere a little something extra. The only thing I have to comment on is the loudness. Its almost impossible to hear the person in front of you. The place isnt that big so the volume of music could go down a notch. Other than that I loved it! Recommend coming here. Parking: Parking lot across the street

The food is amazing

Totally and Forever in love!!!

I love that place

Awesome place to have a good time with friends and family.

It was good! Had shrimp empanadas, octopus, cod fritters, salmon, coconut rice, lobster macncheese, pork belly, flan, tres leches, everything was well-prepared, fresh, and tasty.

We went there for my sisters birthday dinner, we ordered the appetizers calamari, pork belly and empanadas which was so great, we were so disappointed about our main course, we ordered two seabass and one seafood paella, the seabass was too salty and the paella tasted like it was about to spoil and our waiter couldnt explain the menu very well.

Very good food

Menu is trying too hard, food was good not great, cocktails are too sweet

Food was good and live music, singer, were amazing!

Excellent very good atmosphere

Delicious Latin American cuisine. The food here is delicious and is seasoned perfectly. I had the ropa vieja and it was cooked to perfection. The service is nice and attentive.

lovely place, nice and intimate

Horrendous service, but good food.

Amazing little place cozzy cute, clean good drinks my favorite is Cosquillita, a mix of tequila ... this salmon in mango sause was delicious and the music woooo we have a blast.. ahhh good prices , I recommend that place.

Good job considering coronavirus.

Great cuisine with attention to detail.. great staff, on top of their customer service game. The empanada shell was crispy yet not overdone and pork belly for starters were made to perfection. The entrees, ropa vieja w/ rice, beans and sweet plantains had great flavor and the meat was just right. Black beans had the right thickness and flavor... Finished dinner with a cortadito, latte and guava flan for a great ending.
