Yuca&amp;rsquo;s, Los Angeles&amp;rsquo; iconic family-owned and operated Mexican eatery, is the first taco stand to be honored with the much coveted James Beard Award (in the America&amp;rsquo;s Classics category). Launched on April 1,1976 Yuca&amp;rsquo;s has received accolades from local, national and international reviewers. The best accolades, however, come from the Chefs who choose to eat at Yuca&amp;rsquo;s on their dime. Now that I&amp;rsquo;ve taken the baton from my Mom, the creator of Yuca&amp;rsquo;s, my goal is to never be finished building our business. And to continually create a business that brings you pleasure and a feeling of coming home.
