Yuca

We had dinner at Yuca 105 on Sunday evening. The service was very attentive, and our waitress Roxan introduced us to all the daily specials. We thoroughly enjoyed the Yuca ceviche and the grilled octopus. We highly recommend it.

I stopped in around lunch time on a Saturday. It was not very busy. And I’m surprised by that because this place is really delicious! Great hospitality. Santiago was a wonderful help making menu recommendations and provided great service. The hostess was also very nice. I ordered the fish ceviche (wow, soo good and I hadn’t had a ceviche quite like it with the giant white corn—also a generous portion!), the vaca frita steak (wow this was a hit! Sizzly, citrusy, tender & crispy, and a pow of flavor!), and some yummy cocktails. While a little on the pricier side, I’m used to it being from New York and I didn’t find them unreasonable for what you get. Plus, it’s a nice sit down restaurant. They also were playing really great Cuban hip hop so I was able to add new music to my Spotify playlists. It was a wonderful first bite in Miami. High quality. They deserve a line waiting for a table! Highly recommend!

We had the best waitress - Daniella! She explained all the specials of the day and answered every question sincerely. We ordered coco chipoco ceviche, revolution dr pulpo, churrasco and red snapper for four of us and couldn’t be happier. Every dish hit the spot and super delicious! We will definitely come back next time we visit Miami beach.

All I can say is I'm stunned. Absolutely amazing in every respect. A gastronomic delight if you love to eat. And to top it off our waitress Andy was a delight. She recommended some of the best South American food I've ever had and I'm married to a Brazilian so that is a high compliment

You must go here! Outstanding food, a mix of flavours you won't find anywhere else - Cuban/Peruvian fusion flavours for sushi, ceviche and a range of main dishes. Everything we tried exceeded our expectations! It was so good that we went twice! Absolutely recommend!

Just had the *best* seafood platter 🎣! The drinks were on point too 🍹, which always makes a meal better. And the staff? So friendly and helpful, I felt like royalty👑. Definitely coming back here again soon!

Despite the outdoor dining being practically on the curb of a busy street, they have done a great job of creating a garden screen that nearly made you forget where you were. The ambiance, the service, and the quality of the food and drinks made this an amazing night!

Absolutely incredible experience in the best restaurant that we went to while visiting miami. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful, the decor was so charming. Every dish that we got was incredible. The appetizers blew us out of the water, we got a tartare and a grilled octopus appetizer, both were so amazing. Our entrees were also spectacular and the portions were more than generous and everything was very reasonably priced. Lastly, the service was second to none. Our waitress, Josefina, made our night amazing. Her recommendations were all great and overall she was super attended, helpful, and made it a wonderful experience. This restaurant is a must stop if you are in miami.

Very surprised by this place, the service was excellent and the food was incredible. The flavors were off the charts! Wound totally come here again :). Our waitress’s name was Arissa, she was amazing!!!!!

My boyfriend and I have been here before in 2021, but we were in town for a festival with friends and wanted to show them a nicer dining experience. The staff is so sweet and informative if you’re unsure what is on the menu. It clearly was a memorable spot if we made a return. They also have the BEST seafood if you like fish! The quality of the food is amazing and unbeatable.

Yuca has the best Peruvian food in South beach Miami! Fernando was our server and was outstanding with his service! While deciding what to order he was honest enough to tell us that the portions are huge and may be too much food for us. My husband and i appreciated his honesty. The risotto with Oxtail was to die for along with the grilled octopus appetizer. Would love to come back here when visiting Miami. Keep being Awesome Fernando!!

We booked an outdoor table here but they were all full on arrival. However the indoor space was lovely so we stayed inside. Our server too was also lovely. Very bubbly and helping us choose ceviche without coconut for my wife. We had a selection of 4 which were outstanding. As was most everything else that followed including the cocktails. The only slight hiccups eas the brancino which turned out to be cod.. all fine However considering the overall meal was spot on..

Such a great find! Delicious food and great service! We tried the Inka Maki (delicious!), the Jalea Mixta, and the Vaca Frita, which ended up being my absolute favorite. For dessert, the tiramisu completely surprised us - it came out with dramatic dry-ice smoke and looked incredible. Great flavors, fun presentation, and definitely worth a visit!

I live very close to Miami Beach and had seen this place multiple times, but never gone inside; that changed a few days ago. I visited this place on a Sunday evening. The decor in the restaurante is magnificent. Lovely place. The food and service were on point! Our server was very knowledgable and kept checking on us and made sure that our visit was one to remember. I had the "Churrasco A Lo Pobre" and my wife had the ceviche. The food came out extremely fast. To be fair, the place was not super crowded since it was raining a lot that evening. The steak was juicy and cooked medium just I as asked. The congri (white rice and black beans) was so flavorful and with the runny egg on top, it just made the whole thing more delicious. The ceviche presentation was something I've never seen before and my wife enjoyed it very much! Lastly, we ordered a dessert (cannot remember the name); they don't have a dessert menu. The desert had some dulce de leche and it was very tasty! I recommend this place! I'll definitely be back and try their chaufa next time!

After art basel, we're looking for dining options and unexpectedly discovered Yuca105. Restaurant offers unique ceviche seafood combinations, my taste buds were pleasantly surprised! Every dish was delicious and the servers very attentive and courteous.

Super delicious food!!! Our favorite was the vaca frita. The coco chipoco ceviche, chips de guajiro, and ropa vieja are also outstanding. We noticed that the prices are not updated online so everything is generally a few dollars more.

They just started a new program which is a cabaret dinner show. And it was fantastic with the special menu curated by Chef Michael Calvo. The next one coming up is january fourteenth. Even without the cabaret its a very special and unique place to go for cuban and peruvian fusion gourmet food.

First time here, a few uber drivers mentioned this place when I asked about a good ceviche. I got a plate with 3 different types of ceviche and it did not disappoint our server Roxana (i hope i got that right) was amazing. She explained the differences

Absolutely loved this place! Romantic atmosphere and very unique and innovative food! Very delicious steak, unique drinks, and their sushi was like fusion of south American and Japanese flavors. So glad we stumbled upon this place!

My second time to Miami, and the food is becoming an even bigger draw than the weather or beaches. This place should not be missed. We ordered 2 of the recommended cocktails, traditional ceviche, and the tartar en playa guanabo as appetizers. Exceptional. Do not pass these up. I ordered the tacu tacu mero mero macho, with the rice and grouper being very good but the crustaceans less so. They seemed to be frozen prior to cooking. My wife ordered the lomojo congri and was thoroughly pleased. Dessert was espresso martini and the guava-like peruvian fruit, which was not too sweet yet very tasty. My wife, a Japanese foodie to her core, told me at the end of the meal that if she ever were to have a party in Miami, it would be here due to the delicious food and excellent decor. Next time we are in Miami, we will be back.

Fantastic! Every dish was better than the next! Don’t hesitate to go! The soup was amazing!! The meat was perfect…crisp outside tender middle. And the rice dish was spectacular…every bite there was a new flavor. Well done Yuca 105 team.

Wow! My husband visited Yuca 105 two years ago and has been raving about it ever since. He insisted we had to go on our recent trip to Miami, and it did not disappoint! The experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We had the yuca ceviche and the vaca frita, and both dishes were bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. We will be telling all of our friends that this is a must-visit spot in Miami. We can't wait to come back!

Food is nice, staff very friendly. We liked the sushi most (very creative and new experience), other dishes were not our taste (too salty and combo of flavors did not always work). However, matter of taste. Drinks are all very good, also virgin versions. Hemingway cocktail is a must try, cleanses the palate after dinner (refreshing). Outside dining is very nice, inside looks also good (nice interior). Must try, recommend.

Absolutely amazing! We were served by Daniela who recommended the pork dish which was out of this world. There was so much food we couldn’t finish, and the prices were affordable considering the portions! The octopus appetizer was to die for, we will most definitely be coming back for our next visit

The food was delicious! We got ceviche, the salmon/ tuna tartare, a sushi made with mango and coconut flavors (so good and unique!) and the pulled and the Ropa vieja - everything was so fresh and yum!! The service was great! The vibe of the restaurant is eclectic and cute but we sat outside which was a bit loud from the street but overall we had a really great experience!

Great Peruvian Cuban restaurant with tasteful plates. I would recommend it very much, try out the Lucuma mousse to crown your dinner experience.

Outstanding food. The ceviche was great but the Tuna Tartare was absolutely delicious. The Ropa Vieja is incredible. Very pretty restaurant with great service. In a great location between Lincoln Road and Espanola Way. I’d go here anytime I’m in Miami Beach.

After 10 days in Miami beach, our final choice it's the Yuca 105. You have to taste the pulpo, the taste is amazing. It's fresh, healthy, and well cooked. I recommend if you like quality and tasty food. A lovely discovery

The food here was the best we had in Miami Beach, and we didn’t have a bad meal anywhere. We had the Yuca 105 ceviche with fish, the churrasco a la Pobre, and el Norteno and some kind of dulce de leche dessert. Everything was fantastic. The atmosphere was beautiful and great service. I would 100% go back here and would look forward to it.

We had the ceviche yuca 105 and the lechona. Everything was amazing and I mean it! Seafood was fresh, salsa tasty and refreshing. The pork was cooked perfectly: tender and so flavorful and citrusy. Service was really kind and attentive. I wood definitely come back

Hands-down, one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Chef Michael is extremely talented and personable. Staff was always attentive and on top of our needs. Absolutely First Class experience!

Easily the best restaurant in the South Beach area (much better than the 4.9 star reviewed restaurants in the touristic area). Excellent service from Juan (very attentive but not overpowering), excellent cocktails (fabulous pisco sours), excellent food, and all in a gorgeous setting at a great price point. Highly recommended.

We read the raving reviews and were excited to try this place. Unfortunately, they are not very good with food allergies. We spoke with our waiter and had to reorder twice after he went to the kitchen because there are limited gluten free options. The manager ended up coming out at the end and was super kind and helpful. He had the chef make something for us that was not even on the menu for our main course. The appetizer we ordered off the menu was okay, and the main course was decent. They should work on improving their gluten free options for customers. I would have given this place 3 stars, but the manager was so terrific that we gave it one more star.

My husband and I visited YUCA 105 on Valentine’s Day. The ambiance was delightful, with beautiful music enhancing the evening. Our server was exceptionally kind and attentive. While the dishes were presented beautifully, I found them overly salty. Unfortunately I do not take a photo of the meat dish I ordered . As someone who prefers traditional, hearty home-style cooking, the Cuban-Peruvian fusion menu didn’t align with my tastes. Regrettably, I don’t think I’ll return, but I appreciate the effort put into the service and atmosphere.

Tasty food especially the traditional ceviche. Nice ambiance and service . Very spacious. Make sure you ask prices of “specials” that aren’t listed on the menu so you don’t get shocked when you see the bill. Also beware they add a 20% tip automatically.

Food was excellent, especially ceviche. The interior is also very cool. But the waiter was only sporadically attentive.

Beautiful restaurant. Food was very good but felt overpriced- maybe that is just South beach. Server was attentive and helpful in picking out dishes.

Food was excellent. Our server was very nice, but food took well over an hour. Multiple times our server said "I will be right back with your entrees" then disappeared. It probably wasn't her fault, and she was just trying to keep us happy. The table behind us was there before us and still hadn't gotten their food when we did, and they got up and left after talking to the manager, so our long wait wasn't an isolated thing. The food is fantastic though.

I used to love this place but when I returned this time every single dish had been made worse. The vaca frita was so tough it was obviously overcooked, then over salted to compensate, the lechon assada was now low quality pork with texture issues. The Do Coco Rabo (oxtail) was good but the risotto it comes with had an unrecognizable flavor, nothing like in times past. The desert was miserable with a very strange texture on the pudding and with Oreo chunks hidden underneath (why? Just why?) The staff was neglectful and the owner/manager was trying to gaslight us by telling us nothing had been changed

Waited 20min for the server to come over. Finally got an order of drinks. Waited another 45min no server no food. Asked for the manager five times and she never came over. Got up and left. Tourist trap. Avoid.
