NYC STAPLE

by niteowl11

The food, service and drinks are simply top-notch. Girlfriend and I started with the Calamari and Ceviche Mixto. Both were extremely tasty and fresh. We then moved on to the suckling pig and braised short ribs. The suckling pig was moist and extremely flavorful (most pork entrees in the city tend to err on the bland-side, but not this dish). The short ribs were fall off the bone-tender with a not-overly sweet marinade. On top of the flavorful fare, the manager was constantly (yet not incessantly) checking up on us to make sure we were taken care of (as he was doing w/the rest of the restaurant). Looking forward to returning and while the menu is diverse, would have a difficult time not ordering the exact same thing given the exceptional quality of our meal. It doesn't get much better than this.

• Pros: Food, Service, Atmosphere, Drinks
• Cons: Acoustics make it slightly loud

Excellent food, drinks and service

by emb914

Yerba buena is one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in the city. The food is EXCELLENT. I would recommend ordering several of the appetizers vs. an entree so that you get a taste of everything they have to offer. For 2 people we usually order 6 appetizers as they are small portions. The drinks are dangerously delicious and the atmosphere is fun and lively. The service is ALWAYS excellent and accomodating. Enjoy!

• Pros: Drinks and Appetizers
• Cons: None

very nice

by helenajutila

The last time I was there, I was with the husband’s family. It’s always beneficial to go with a large party, because then you can order more dishes and share them all. We definitely took advantage of this, and perhaps went a little overboard.

• Pros: location
• Cons: pricey

OVERPRICED!! I miss the old Samba-le

by arturog1111

Went here a few days ago for a party. Food was so-so, very expensive for what they offer. The atmosphere was festive but a bit stodgy. They try too hard to be classy and its AVenue A!!!...not midtown. The problem is that the food is very overpriced and just OK.

For any of you who ever went to the previous restaurant that was here, Samba-le, you will be disappointed. Samba-le was way cheaper, and a lot more fun and yummy!!!

Will not go back. Rather spend my money in places that really deliver an exceptional experience. Yerba Buena does not!!

very good

by MisterYo

Yerba Buena is a small restuarant just a couple blocks north of Houston on Avenue A. The best feature is the 3 Mexican bartenders who are very good with tasty, creative cocktails. I especially recommend the spicy one made with gin and jalapeno puree. I can't recall the name. Stick with appetizers here. The entrees are very over priced and not all that good. Service is solid, if a little too familiar.

I love this place. I eat there everyday, morning, noon, and night. I highly recommend that you stop surfing the internet and go eat at this place right now.

• Pros: Food

delightful experience!

by MTLVNYC

From the minute I walked in you could smell the delightful fragrance of spices. We were greeted like we were old friends. The service was outstanding but not overdone. The food was just amazing. I've been to a couple of Latin American restaurant and this has to be one of my new favorites. I would recommend Yerba Buena to anyone who is looking for some SPICE in their palate.
