come yuca
A term used to describe getting the absolute best result, profit, or enjoyment out of any situation. It implies successfully obtaining or experiencing something top-tier, essentially hitting the jackpot in terms of fun or quality. (In Costa Rican slang, while yuca is a common root vegetable, this phrase describes someone who lucks into the best part of a deal or situation).
Once at the Puntarenas carnivals, a mae who had been drinking guaro all day got the munchies late in the afternoon. The mae was flat broke, so he started scrounging and gathered fifteen hundred cañas to buy a vigoron (a dish of yuca and pork rinds); by the way, the vigoron cost a rojo. He gets to the lady and asks for extra pork rinds, telling her: put 500 more on there. They give him the vigoron loaded with pork rinds and on his second step, he trips and faceplants, landing flat on his stomach while the vigoron scatters all over the street. Just as the tapis is recovering from that massive wipeout, a dog shows up to scarf down... (what do you think he was going to eat? the cabbage?) the pork rinds, of course, and he come yuca.
