This was our second time out to this restaurant in the neighbor town of Glendale. We went specifically for the Asian pearl and brie pizza. We also had the fried chicken sliders, pork belly, sangria, and a royal blood. Everything is fresh and delicious.

Absolutely favorite place!!! Love sharable tapas style dishes. One can’t skip Bacari fries with egg and aioli sauce. My favorite there are scallops, lamb kabob, chicken sliders were new on the menu (wasn’t crazy about sauce tasted weird) but crispy chicken was very good. Also fish is always a good choice there, beet salad is amazing.

What a nice cozy little place to stop in for a few drinks. A very relaxing space to catch up with friends or a date. The bar is a great place to sit and order drinks. A very extensive selection of spirits to choose from. The mixologist was friendly and the drinks are reasonably priced.

OMG! We had fried chicken sliders, bacari fries which was served with a sunny side up egg on top of the fries, salmon, sea bass, stuffed mushrooms, and brussels sprouts. Everything tasted so good! I don’t even like brussels sprouts but these were yummy! The only thing that was ok was the bread pudding I had for dessert. Maybe it was because I asked for it to be extra hot when served and possibly that dried it out. Food came to the table as it was finished in the kitchen. Tapas size. Good size portions for 2 people to share. I would definitely return to this restaurant when I am in Los Angeles again.

Lovely tapas food, delicious and healthy! The wait time was a bit long, but the ambient was nice, service was good, food was amazing and portions were just right! You won’t feel heavy after eating at this restaurant.

For those who don’t like long reviews – 11/10. The service, food and ambience were all exceptional – thank you Abraham for the great recommendations: Seabass, Mushrooms, Scallops, and for generous falafel and (gf/v) and chocolate cake! I really can’t say enough about Bacari – the Beet salad was a great intro’. The carrot purée and melted leak “compote” under the perfectly seared scallops was absurdly good, as was the shishito and seabass! Too many compliments for a single review. Thanks for a great evening, see you soon!

What a treat. The shrimp ceviche was good. It had big chunks of tomatoes and tasted fresh. The chips were dusted with some deliciousness. The glazed pork belly was some of the best I’ve ever had. The edges were super crispy while the inside was liquid. It was the exact texture that you’re looking for in pork belly. The brussels sprouts were also a winner. I really like the fact that they were not overly sweet but we’re well seasoned. The Asian pear and brie pizza was a little bit unfortunate. I asked them to sub mozzarella for brie, and there was very little cheese on the pizza. The crust was thin and more like a tortilla, which would’ve been fine if the whole thing wasn’t so wet and soggy. Also, it’s the tiniest pizza you’ve ever seen for $14. We order to beverages as well, and our total came to $67. Don’t be surprised when you see a 4% service fee on your ticket. You can ask to have it removed, but I didn’t because it clearly states that it pays for health insurance for the employees. I asked the girl who brought our ticket, if they did, indeed provide her health insurance, to which she stated no. That sounded kind of dodgy, so I probably would not pay that extra 4% in the future. As for recommending this restaurant, the answer is yes. I would definitely go back for the short ribs, but pass on the pizza.

Easiest 5 star I could give! This location has quickly become our regular go-to spot, the staff are all wonderful, especially the Manager, and the food is always amazing. I am celiac and there are so many gluten free options available for me! Love everything about Bacari.

GREAT HAPPY HOUR- we just went for happy hour. Overall the menu is super reasonable and drinks plentiful. Our waitress Noel was sweet and welcoming. The Pizza, Salad, and Mushrooms were awesome. The bacon wrapped dates and the mussels – not bad, but not our favorite. Will definitely go back- really enjoyed it.
