Yucca is a colourful Mexican and Tex Mex restaurant on Fulham Road. Its casual dining room and lively bar create an easy setting for lunch, dinner, drinks and group gatherings, with a broad menu designed to offer both familiar choices and more adventurous flavours.
Starters and tapas include nachos, calamari, chicken wings, ribs, jalapeños, scallops and prawns cooked with chilli, lime and herbs. Sharing several smaller plates allows a table to explore smoky, sharp, creamy and spicy combinations before moving to the main courses.
Burritos, quesadillas, burgers, grilled meat and seafood make up the substantial part of the menu. Black beans, avocado, tomato salsa, chipotle, coriander and roasted vegetables appear throughout, with vegetarian and vegan choices offering the same generous seasoning and texture.
Churros, ice cream and sweet fried pastries finish the meal, while cocktails, tequila, wine and beer give the bar an important role in the experience. Takeaway, delivery, outdoor seating and private dining arrangements make Yucca flexible for many different occasions.
