Located in the vibrant heart of Miami Beach, YUCA 105 is a Cuban restaurant that captivates patrons with its delightful culinary offerings and inviting ambiance.

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

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.

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!

Was just walking down the street and we saw this spot and wanted to sit outside so we thought we'd try it. And it was such a good choice! My favorite meal of the week and they had such good drinks also. I highly recommend!

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.

My husband and I went to celebrate our 9th anniversary and it was by the best food we have ever had! Roxana was phenomenal. We got the felices los 4 which we were able to choose 2 ceviches, a jalea and lobster. Drinks were incredible. They pulled out all the stops!

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.
