"We can probably count every Dominican restaurant in LA (in Southern California?) on one hand. That’s a shame, but thank goodness we have El Bacano. This small, colorful strip mall spot offers a wide range of Dominican staples, like tostones, various habichuelas, and, our favorite, their sancocho. This soup is only available three days a week, but feel free to plan your visit around it because it’s worth the trip. Big pieces of pork, chicken, and beef bob inside a salty, zippy broth that’s cloudy from rendered fat. It’s a big portion, so maybe split it with a friend and order more dishes for the table." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
