50 years with YUCA’S. 50 years with you all. Watching you grow up. Watching you grow older. You’ve watched us grow up, watched us grow older. We’ve held each other up in tough times and come together to celebrate and give back.
This one is a hard one without Mama.
Building comunidad, amistad, y familia here in our home of LA has been the greatest blessing.
Thank you amigos, for all the love.

You ever wonder why we flatten our burritos? Yucatecan food is its own unique style, we want to stay true to our roots, plus, that’s the way Mama Yuca’s always made them!! 🥰

Your choice of filling wrapped in a warm flour tortilla with fresh-made pico de gallo & Yuca’s pinto beans. The best if you ask us (but we might be a little biased 😉)

We are so sad to hear about Eric Dane’s passing. He was not only handsome, he had a loving heart.

Eric would come eat lunch with us since The Grey’s Anatomy set is only a few blocks away. Mama loved him. He loved Mama. She didn’t know he was famous, she let him know his nickname around here was “Mr. Carne Asada”! 🤣

If it wasn’t for our Mr. Carne Asada, we wouldn’t have been mentioned on Oprah! Back in 2007, Eric was on the show chatting with Gayle and told her he knew the best burrito… US! 🤩 His generosity got YUCA’S a mention on Oprah in 2007 as the “Best burrito evah!”

We hope you’re having a burrito with Mama 🕊️ We love you Eric Dane, rest easy.

🇲🇽✨ Honoring History. Recognizing Strength. ✨🇲🇽

Honoring history isn’t just about looking back.
It’s about understanding the strength that continues to define the present.

For generations, people have carried their language, traditions, values, and stories forward — even as borders shifted and times changed. What endured was not just memory, but resilience.

This is a legacy of continuity.
Of perseverance.
Of culture that adapts, survives, and remains rooted — generation after generation.

Culture lives in families.
In food shared at the table.
In music passed down.
In names, stories, and traditions that refuse to fade.

Recognizing that legacy doesn’t divide us.
It deepens understanding.
It builds respect.
And it reminds us that the present is shaped by everything that came before it.

🇲🇽 A story of endurance.
✨ A story of identity.
📜 A story still being written.

When we honor the past with honesty and dignity, we strengthen the future for everyone.

Guess what day it is? NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY! 💃🏻Let’s all celebrate our favorite Margarita! ♥️😉
