    Cochinita Pibil Burrito $12.50
    Erik G.

    What I Ordered: Cochinita Pibil Taco $4.00 Cheeseburger $6.00 Cochinita Pibil Burrito $12.50 This place has been on my radar for a while. Being that Cindy S. recommended it, I had to go! We've been exploring different parts of the city, and today was Los Feliz. I wasn't very hungry, but I made room for Yuca's. I ordered the Cheeseburger, which is a simple burger, but trust me, it's amazing! It's like a classic work picnic burger with all the fixings. If you're hungry and don't want a burrito, get a double cheeseburger - they're small. The Cochinita Pibil Burrito is incredible. It's made with slow-roasted, shredded pork, a Yucatecan dish, and is loaded with beans. It's one of the best burritos I've had recently. I also got a Cochinita Pibil Taco for my wife, but she wasn't in the mood for Mexican, so I ate it the next day, and it wasn't fresh anymore, so I won't review it. I highly recommend the Cheeseburger and the Cochinita Pibil Burrito at Yuca's. You won't regret it!

    Est. 1976- On this particular visit, the credit card machine was down so they could only take cash. I was a little short, but the nice lady took what I had and told me, that next time, I would owe her $1.70. After she took my order, I went to my car and was able to scrape together enough change to cover my food. I asked for some salsa to go. She didn't have any little containers, so she just gave me a 1/3 full bottle of El Yuccateco hot sauce. How cool is that? 5 stars for that service! As luck would have it, my food was also excellent. I had the Conchinita Pibil Burrito. The shredded pork, pickled onions, pinto beans and salsa was so very tasty. Also amazing is the Bean & Cheese Burrito. It's simple but so delicious. Yes, they use American cheese slices, but the beans and the tortillas make up for the simple cheese. I really enjoyed it. Regardless, this little Yuca' hut has been doing something right for almost 50 years. That's better than most, with or without cheese slices! I'l be back.

    Regular Cheeseburger (under the hood). A single burger is $6.50- get a double cheeseburger for only 0.50 cents more: $7.00.

    Established in 1976. I been stopping by Yuca's for years! My parents introduced me to Yuca's; and now as an adult, I bring my husband and children to this little cute taco shack- they love it. I was happy to hear that they are recognized by the James Beard Foundation. I personally get and recommend : the COCHINITA PIBIL BURRITO. Yuca's does not make fresh tortillas on the premise, but they do source it from a local well - known tortilla factory called Tortilleria La California. My second recommendation is their CHEESEBURGER. Try it. You wouldn't think to order a cheeseburger from a taco shack, but just do it. One of the best cheeseburgers around. Very simple and made perfectly- don't ask for them to customize it, order it as is. Tip: the burgers are on the small side (tiny), so maybe order TWO cheeseburgers if you are hungry or don't want to share! :D Lastly, am not a fan of the tacos here or carne asada. I stick to the cochinitas pibil burritos and cheese burger. Just my preference. -Cash and Credit accepted. -Parking available (private lot). -Second newer location in Pasadena.

    If Jonathan Gold recommended it, I will eat it!! This place has been on my list for YEARS!! Because it's down the street from my Pilates studio, I never want to go because I'm just done being healthy and I get a cheeseburger?!?! But I felt the urge last week and loved it. It seriously was gone in five bites. Adorable little hut from which the magic is created. Burgers are freshly made so it takes a short minute but so worth it!

    Yuca's gets lots of love from her neighborhood. Either we didn't get the right things, or it was an off day, but I thought what we had was underwhelming. We got the chili verde and pollo burritos. Both were small in portion and bland in taste. The location is convenient as it is basically a stand in a parking lot. It's seems like the locals all know they are cash only. I didn't know prior coming, and was told they don't take cards. Thank goodness I had cash on me that day.

    Pollo Taco, Machaca Taco, Carnitas Taco, Carne Asada Taco, Cochinita Pibil Taco
    Kellen P.

    The service was super friendly and helpful. They had great recommendations! I ended up getting 2 of each taco - the carnitas were my favorite by far. There's not a lot of additional fixings to add but you really don't need to. The vibe is chill. The place is basically located in a Silverlake parking lot with a lot of outdoor seating, mostly under an awning. I would go back!

    Carne Asada Taco
    Celine K.

    steak sandwich was the standout from the three items we tried. loved the ingredients inside and the meat. the carne asada taco and hot dog were good but not too memorable. there's plenty of parking and made relatively quickly

    One of my favorite places to stop in for a quick bite , I get the same thing all the time the Carne asada burrito. It is so delicious! It's located in a small parking lot next to a liquor store , they have a couple tables outside. Family owned , great service , very friendly staff. Placed my order run to the liquor store to get a drink by the time I come back my order is ready .

    First time trying the tamale de asada ohh sorry I mean asada burrito. A small flat burrito with very little meat but it's good. Way better asada burrito than Baja California Tacos down the street on hillhurst and Franklin

    Chili Dog w cheese
    Dustin E.

    I saw this place on television and made a note to visited next time I was in LA. They did not disappoint! I got a chili dog with cheese and onions, and it was amazing! The chili was very dark and I've been cooking for hours . I think that I might like a little lighter chilly, but this was amazing! I also got the award-winning Cochinita Pibil taco. It was fine. Tasty. But my least favorite thing I tried. My wife and I agreed that the double cheeseburger was the clear STAR of the show!!! Holy Cow!! THIS is the cheeseburger you have been looking for. Thanks to YE Hamlet O. for the heads up on that. Wow! We'll be back. This place is special.

We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people.

I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

Parking: Street parking was super easy on a Sunday afternoon, I was able to pull up right in front and park on the street. There is a Super A across the street and ample parking around for free. Ambiance & Food: This reminds me of an old school burger stand. Those were the best burgers and this one did not stop that trend. As I walked up, we were warmly greeted and given a quick rundown of what which burger. They did have specials (I will get to that in a second) which we were intrigued, but for the sake of perspective, I ordered the Goldburger and both regular fries and curly fries with a bottle coke. The Goldburger is naturally a double, but my gymrat protein brain added that extra patty. They use a 70% to 30% mixture for their burger which makes the burger oh so decadent. The picture I took doesn't do it justice. The moment you bite into the burger the combination of burger juice, aioli, burnt skirt, all come together in such a harmonious fashion. It was remarkable. Though fries are not one of my strong points, both fries were crispy and I haven't had any other experience with Curly fries other than Jack in the Box, but these were so much better. I went ahead and dipped the fries in some homemade Aioli and dang, what a combo! Back to those specials, the current special is CHILI, I was intrigued so they gave me a small container of it to try. Man, if I wasn't watching my caloric intake, that would have been the move. It was rich and chunky and not to soggy which some always comes. Give it a try as they said it will be around for sometime. Other than burgers, they do have hot dogs as well. So worth trying both next time. To be perfectly honest, this brought back so much nostalgia for me, I used to go to school in the area and this brought a lot of those memories back. Tasty burgers and a must try for sure if your around! Cheers!

I happened to be in the area, and even though I'd already eaten, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally drop in. Irv's originally opened in 1946 as Queen's Burgers, located right on Route 66 on Santa Monica Boulevard in WeHo, and was deeply ingrained in LA's historic car culture. In 1970, Irv Genis bought the stand and renamed it Irv's Burgers, and it quickly became a legendary late-night spot for rock icons like Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison. By 2000, Sonia Hong took over, famously hand-drawing doodles on the paper plates alongside her signature slogan, "Just for you." After closing in 2013 and again in 2018, Lawrence Longo partnered with Sonia in 2021 to bring the brand back to life. They've since expanded quite a bit, even opening locations in Malibu and Las Vegas. On a staff recommendation, I ordered Irv's Original Roadside Burger Double ($11.25). Honestly, it was just okay. While a certain amount of grease and salt is expected with a burger, this one crossed the line into being a bit too salty and oily. On the bright side, the sesame bun was excellent, and I loved that they kept Sonia's legacy alive by printing her classic doodles on the tray placemats. While I'm glad Irv's was saved from history and is expanding, the food itself felt pretty so-so. The outdoor tables were also a bit dirty during my visit. I still love that classic roadside burger stand aesthetic with the outdoor stools, but unfortunately, I won't be in a rush to head back.

Another 10min passed by, now I'm seeeing people who came after me get their orders before me. Asked the staff again for my order status. The order pick up window person shouted my name to the kitchen each time I checked in. Finally the 3rd time they responded, they start arguing, apparently my order was done a long time ago, and it was given to someone else. It took 30min to figure out that my order had already been done and given to someone else because there was no communication between the kitchen, order staff or pick up staff. no apology, just got my food after the argument 3minutes later...Food was average, definitely not worth a 30min wait.
