Good cutesy place to catch up with friends and have some small bites. Didn't expect the inside to be small tho, I've passed by multiple times and it was my first time going in. Food was good, don't do the same mistake I did by not getting the best cake with ice cream!! Would reorder everything except the stuffed mushroom (cake, pear w/ brie pizza, lettuce cups, glazed pork belly) Upon leaving they also offered to validate our parking! read more

Loveee Bacari!!! absolutely LOVED our server Emma she was soo kind and friendly! I felt so well taken care of !!!

Tonight was our second time here, with the first being around 8 years ago when they first opened, so I felt like an updated review was necessary! We had a wonderful experience this second time, just like the first! We were seated promptly on a busy Friday evening. I love that they have expanded their seating area to outside since the inside area isn't that big. Our waiter was wonderful. We ordered 5 things to share: watermelon salad, octopus, vegan pizza, pork belly, and shawarma tacos. Everything was so unique and delicious! The chef definitely knows what he's doing. So many unique combinations of ingredients that work so well together. The pork belly was especially delicious and the sauce on the shawarma tacos was out of this world! The price is super reasonable for the quality of food and overall experience. Feels similar to a Michelin star experience! Highly recommend! read more

What a fun concept! It seems that community is the theme here. The servers emphasized that everyone works together as a team, and the food here is served tapas style, and they encourage sharing. Our servers recommend 2 items per person to make a meal. The prices are high for the portion sizes (with the exception of the pizzas), but we were splurging. My family ordered 8 items and it was more than enough for us since the pizzas were a decent size. Most everything was seasoned and tasted great, although the family didn't really enjoy the glazed pork belly. Most memorable for me were the shawarma tacos, bacari fries and the Asian Pear & Brie pizza. Hubby and I ordered some adult beverages and they were very good! There is seating indoors, but most tables are al fresco on the sidewalk. Parking validation is available for the Americana lot. read more

Food was really good but unfortunately they were understaffed and had to wait over an hour to get my food. The waitress was kind enough to reimburse some of our food without us asking but a busy place should not be understaffed like this. read more

Geff was our server for the night... AMAZING service. He communicated when the bar was behind. He took his time explaining every detail and even gave us recommendations on the menu. Everything was perfect, from the service to the vibes. I highly recommend! read more

Our server Geoffrey was great! It was quite busy for a Thursday night dinner but he was very attentive and polite. We've been to Bacari before so we knew what to order and as usual, the food was excellent. Geoffrey made recommendations for our next dinner at Bacari so we will definitely be trying those new items. We will make it a point to see Geoffrey next time as we will leave it to him to bring us his recommendations for both dinner and desserts! read more

Haven't been here in awhile but 5/5 star service. Carter was amazing and made us laugh. The drinks were great and I'd order the best cake ever over and over. Will be back again for late night drinks and desert! read more

Anibal was our server for dinner last night. My three adult kids and I enjoyed delicious food and Anibal's outstanding service. His recommendations were amazing as he seemed genuinely to care about us. Probably the most intuitive server ever, friendly and kind. He took great photos of us. Anibal was totally present. Memorable night out for us. Thank you, Anibal Thank you, Bacari Rose read more

Great staff. They were constantly checking in, maybe too much. haha. Parking is easy here because you can park in the Americana parking structure and get validated at Bacari. Both indoor or outdoor seating is nice, although, outdoor may attract unwanted bugs. Food is great. This place is ideal for dates, small groups, or even solo inside at the bar. read more

I had the most amazing time at Bacari in Glendale thanks to our server, Austin. He recommended so many delicious dishes. From chicken schnitzel, sea bass, potato tacos, french toast, chilaquiles, and crab cake, we could not decide what our favorite was because it was all so good! Austin's humor and kindness really made dining here so special. Thank you for creating such a warm and welcoming space! And shout out to Chef Frankie for making those amazing meals! We will be back! read more

I've been here many times before and the food is always delicious and is made with care. The service at this location is top tier. I've been 2 other locations like the one on 3rd st and it just doesn't compare. I always feel welcomed here by the staff. Today I had Agnes ring me up my order and her customer service was phenomenal. She assisted me on the whole menu. She was helpful :D Definitely one of my favorite places to eat! read more

This place is such a gem. The food is really solid and the service is great. Our server Kasarlina was super helpful and attentive, we got bottomless and it was a good deal around $30 for 90 minutes. Really solid considering we had 4 or more drinks in that time frame. Pork belly and pizza were good! read more

My girlfriend and I came here on a whim and I have to say it was totally worth it. The chilaquiles were so good that I wish I would've ordered it 3 times. The mediterranean street corn was just as good and even had a kick to it. The egg pizza was intriguing as well, it didn't blow us away but it was still pretty good. Our server was very accommodating and did an excellent job as well, highly recommend! read more

Our server, Christian, recommended about 2-3 dishes per person. This was more then enough for me. Really friendly service. Everyone helped out, whether you needed a another drink ( I did the open bar special). Good deal if you can get 4 drinks in or more. The decor was simple but perfect for the theme of the restaurant. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning and had a solid meal. Wish the portions were a little bit bigger though. Our server Christian was friendly and attentive Ordered: - chilaquiles 4/5: good flavors - crab cake Benedict 5/5: good amount of crab - pork belly 4/5: good but on the salty side. - shakshouka 4/5: nice and spicy - grilled chicken breast: 2/5 dry and on the sour side - bacon and brie pizza 2/5: decent but the way they laid out the brie and cut it left a third of the pizza with no brie on the slice. Open bar 5/5. They were quick to bring the next drink. Not everyone at your table needs to get it. Sparkling sangria was yummy. read more

Killer tapas, killer iced tea. Server Farris was great. Cant wait to come back perfect dinner situation for before the movies. None of the food was wicked heavy, the fried chicken sliders had a nice light breading. Solid stuff all around read more

I've gone to 3 other Bacari locations, and this is by far my favorite! I already knew I LOVE the menu with all of the GF options, so I was already sold when it was across the street from picking up my wedding gown. Service was phenomenal (thank you Preet) food and drinks were prompt, yet never felt rushed. read more

I live their food! My favorite place in Americana! So tasty and flavorful! Never disappoints!

Best Bacari location I've been to! I normally go to Echo Park but this will def be the new go-to for girls night! Shout out to Carter for amazing service :) read more

I first got introduced to Bacari at the West Adams location years ago, and often frequent that one. It was my first time visiting Glendale yesterday - unfortunately, the visit was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. #1 Service and attentiveness - from what I experienced, we were greeted by one (brought us water), then another came to attempt to take our order (then got distracted). This makes me think there isn't a dedicated waiter for the table, totally fine and pretty normal - but it's not ok when no one comes to take the order for well over 10 minutes after that. It wasn't during a busy time either, there were only a handful of tables with patrons there. #2 Food quality - I was looking forward to a good homemade pita. Then this came out - by looks it was pretty pale and by taste it was somewhat raw. See attached photo. read more

Tapas style unique plates! There is a meal here for everyone, whether you're on a diet or you just came to eat, whether you like meat, seafood, or feeling the vegetarian life, there is bound to be something for you here. The plates are small and made for sharing - it's a perfect place to get close to someone special or feast with a group of people to try a little bit of everything. It's recommended to have about 3 dishes a person on average. Don't drink but they have a bar that looks quite impressive so I'd imagine it would be a lovely place to hang out and have some delicious alcohol. Great service, everyone here is very helpful, and with such an interesting menu it's great to have a knowledgeable staff! read more

Always had good experience at Bacari except for today. We got an older gentleman as our server. The food was good as normal but the service was not on point. Our street corn that was supposed to be served as an appetizer was served towards the end. The server was hard to get a hold of, he was being way more attentive to other tables than us. and the cup of ice that I got for my bottled coke was half melted. On top of it all they claimed to validate my parking and it turns out that they didn't. read more

Food is great!!! Service is amazing !!! Our server Carter was incredibly helpful, patient, friendly!!! Ambiance is amazing !!! I love going there even for a chill night out :) read more

Carter was a great server! Excellent attention to detail AND good taste in television.

Pros: cocktail drinks, nice date night ambiance by heaters outside, fresh gluten free bread was soft Cons: Scallops were tough to cut through. Foodrunners were lost all night, they kept coming to our table with random drinks/food thats not ours, we even watched the manager bring our food to multiple different tables before it got to us. Also that manager wasn't friendly. She definitely needs to work on her customer service skills. read more

My friends and I had a pleasant experience at Bacari, thanks to our amazing servers CJ and Austin! I love that there are vegetarian and vegan options listed on the menu. Austin recommended the Shawarma Tacos with Mushrooms, and they were savory and delicious! One of my friend's dish came out late, and CJ took care of us by comping the dish and two plates of House Made Baguette with Garlic Oil (amazingly good!) I also love the interior decor and outdoor seating on a nice sunny day. I would like to go back and try other dishes next time! read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch and were sat right away. Everyone from the hostess, servers, runners and bussers greeted us which just made the environment feel more enjoyable. The menu is made up of tapas, and 4 were enough to fill both myself and my boyfriend. Everything we ate tasted delicious and healthy. I'd say it's a great spot for a casual lunch with an upscale feel. Perfect to enjoy a nice drink and people watch. read more

I've visited this Bacari location a few times, and the staff is always so welcoming. They even ask about allergies before you start ordering, which I really appreciate. We order the bacari fries, which are always delicious. The Tripoli pasta, and the margarita pizza. Also, we got the pork pieces, but they were not that great, a lot of fat. The drinks are also fantastic and they rotate them often, so there's always something new to try. I wish the menu had pictures tho. The ambience is super chill. We sat outside on their expanded patio, which was relaxing, though the tables are a bit small for just two people. I wish they were slightly bigger, but it didn't take away from the experience. Overall, it was a really enjoyable visit, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

As someone with significant food allergies, eating out can often be a stressful ordeal, but the team at Bacari GDL handled it perfectly. Our server, Kasarlina, was an absolute standout--she was incredibly professional and made sure my meal was safe without sacrificing any flavor. Based on her expert recommendations, I had the falafel and avocado toast, both of which were fantastic. It was a chilly day, so I really appreciated how quickly the hot yuzu chamomile tea arrived to keep me warm. I will note that the music is a bit too loud for easy conversation, but it definitely contributes to the overall "vibe" of the space. Despite the volume, I felt like I was in great hands. If you have allergies and want a meal that is both safe and delicious, this is the spot! read more

I've been here a bunch of times and it's always solid, yet Faris really made this last visit stand out. We booked on short notice and the area was packed, and he handled everything so smoothly. He was patient, knew the menu inside and out, and gave us great recommendations. He suggested the street corn and it was unreal. Easily one of the best things we had. What I appreciated most was how he made us feel. Even with how busy it was, it felt like we were in our own little pocket of the restaurant. The vibe felt calm and personal, the conversation flowed, and nothing felt rushed. Big thank you to Faris for making it such a great night. We'll definitely be back. read more

Where do I start. I've been consistently coming here for the past few years. This time around, I sat at the bar where I met Cesar and Matthew. They were the perfect bartenders. I went to for the 90 minute beer and wine. The drinks were exceptional. The service and conversation was stimulating and fun. I brought one of my best friends for her first time and she is now obsessed. She wants to be a regular. I am not thrilled to soon become a biweekly/monthly regular due to there service. read more
