Yuca's on Hollywood

The new Yuca's is all that you loved about the old location minus having to stand in a liquor store parking lot to place your order. Dora took over the old Casa Diaz space--conveniently located across from American Apparel so you can pop over to buy some red tighty-whities while you wait--and is gradually introducing the tried-and-true Yuca's menu to former Casa Diaz patrons. She's onto something as each time I've been since she opened a few months back, the line gets just a bit longer.

Aside from the improved seating possibilities, those of you who can't make it up to the old Yuca's on Hillhurst before they close around 6 may now have a shot at eating some of their delicious food as they're open till 8-ish at the new location. (And they might even be open later than that on some nights.)

As for la comida, it was as good as ever. I had my regular cochinita pibil burrito (though I must be sure to request that they not pile in rice next time, something they do not typically do at the Hillhurst location.) MJL had the scrambled eggs in mole which he also enjoyed (though alas, it does not photograph well). For the public transportation-minded, it's a quick walk up from the Sunset/Vermont Red Line station.
