Yuca, a nutty-flavored tuber native to South America, is one of our favorite things to order in a restaurant, so we were impressed Bahama Breeze had yuca-filled cheese sticks on its small-plates menu.
They were served with two dipping sauces: a cilantro-crema and Sriracha aioli.
The yuca cheese sticks were melty and delicious and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone in my party, even my teenage son, who typically sticks to a diet of plain cheeseburgers.
At only $7, I'd have been down to get another serving, but we had plenty more to order, so I resisted the temptation.
My husband also tried the $13 Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer and enjoyed its crispy batter and the Sriracha aioli drizzle it was served with. I'm allergic to shrimp, so I wasn't able to try this dish, but it looked delicious and I heard no complaints from his side of the table.
