What a night at Casa Yari! I’m still thinking about this dinner. The soup was pure comfort, the coconut ceviche was bright, fresh, and addictive, and the bagre en escabeche was packed with bold, incredible flavor. The flan de coco was smooth, dreamy, and the perfect sweet ending. The service was warm and attentive, and huge thanks to Chef Yari for the incredible job—you can truly taste the passion in every dish. An extremely delicious, feel-good experience we can’t wait to repeat!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Dined during the soft opening at the new Division Street location. Happy to report more than half of the menu provided vegan/vegetarian choices. We shared an order of the dobladas, crunchy wrap with soy and topped with a nice slaw; a savory pastelon casserole using plant-based picadillo; and a next-level pollo chuca subbing fried oyster mushrooms on a delicious bed of plantains and cabbage. We will return to enjoy the full menu!

Coming to Casa Yari's came off a recommendation from the people at Wepa! Mercado right down the street. The Puerto Rican Honduran mix and the creativity of the food was amazing. The drinks, small bites and big meals were all to die for. Truly, the best Puerto Rican food in the states.
