" I recently brought my friends visiting from out of town to Yeya's. We tried a variety of dishes—tacos, chilaquiles, and sopes. Each dish was full of flavor! Our server was attentive and gave great recommendations. They made everything fresh to order, which elevated the experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" There's a cozy charm about Yeya's. I had a very filling bowl of menudo here, which was packed with flavors. The staff is welcoming and knows their recipes well. It's a little bit crowded, which creates a lively atmosphere, but the food is certainly worth it. I observed them making tortillas in the kitchen, and wow, what an art! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was on point, I did find that the seating was cramped. I enjoyed the tacos, but I would recommend going during off-peak hours if you can. The flavors were tasty but the space could be better designed. Overall, still a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)
