Great tapas spot in a super busy area. I would highly recommend making reservations before you visit. We went before a show at the Alex theatre and everything we had was delish! We eat a lot and ordered the watermelon salad, beet salad, octopus, beef pita, sirloin steak .... we were still hungry so we then ordered the shawarma tacos and glazed pork belly. There were two of us and we polished everything off and had room for desert! We got the pistachio desert (don't remember the name) and it was really good. Would definitely come back if we come by this area again.

The best place to enjoy the ambiance and food. Go here with your loved one or by yourself, it will not disappoint you. Our server, Madison, was the sweetest and she took care of us very well. Very welcoming staff. Okay enough about the amazing staff, the food here is mind blowing as well. Like every dish that we ordered turned out to be just mouth watering. I never knew foodgasm until I felt it today. Definitely try the stuffed mushroom, apple and Brie pizza. The drinks were great too. A little overpriced but I guess it’s worth it!?

We were visiting CA and decided to try this restaurant. What a great decision! The food was so delicious -- blending flavors together with what tasted to be farm-to-table ingredients. I had a very tasty ginger mocktail with my meal. Our waitress/bartender was so friendly and provided great service. I enjoyed our meal very much.

Had a great meal with a client team. The small plates were perfect for sharing which provided a taste of many dishes. This allowed me to taste dishes that I would normally not order. The burrata salad was so good, I could have had that for my meal. The gluten free chocolate cake was wonderful as well.

I was so impressed with the food here! I had never heard of it before I was walking by one day and decided to try it, turns out there are multiple locations but I’ve only ever tried the Glendale location at Americana. I ordered the Glazed Pork Belly, Fried Chicken Sliders and Oaxacan Pasta which were soooooo amazing! The service was good, just what you expect from a restaurant, nothing noteworthy to report on that front. The atmosphere was so lively, not an empty seat in the house, everyone was having a great time. My friend and I even got to know our neighboring customers, they were so friendly and it was such a great time to chat with them. Regarding the parking, from what i can tell it is part of Americana so you’d be using their parking structure. There’s plenty of parking but it’s recently become not-cheap. I couldn’t tell you for sure if they still have the first 90 minutes for free. There is also street parking options which cost a few dollars. If you don’t mind going out of your way to save a few dollars, you can park at the Glendale Galleria (large mall next to Americana) parking which is free and then walk over, though it’s not a short walk. Overall, can’t wait to go to this place again and have some of their great food!

Had a great experience at Bacari! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful—a perfect mix of Mediterranean and Italian-style tapas. We tried a little bit of everything, and honestly, every dish was amazing. The mac and cheese with bacon and truffle oil was a standout—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. We also loved the stuffed mushrooms, which were perfectly seasoned and delicious. Even the wine and cocktails were fantastic. The food came out in a timely manner, which we really appreciated. Seating outside was lovely, with a great ambiance. The only downside was the service—our server barely spoke to us or engaged, which took away from the otherwise wonderful experience. Still, the quality of the food and atmosphere definitely made up for it. We’ll be back for sure!

Bacari is by far one of the best places to dine in LA. Glendale location has some of the best staff and the service has always been on point. Specially CJ the bartender who makes fantastic cocktails and my favorite espresso martini, and Vanessa “with the curly hair” is a great server and Cal the manager always makes sure everything is perfect. Highly recommend.

I was genuinely impressed with the service I received tonight so much that I actually remember the names of your amazing team! Michael was our server and knocked it out of the park with spot-on recommendations and attentive care. The lovely and handsome Ferris, equal parts sweet and fun, brought over a steady stream of drinks and dishes with a smile. Rhett, with his movie-trailer-deep voice, made a cameo at our table delivering delicious plates. And Agnes? She was a total gem--kind, thoughtful, and generous with even more great suggestions and her smile. The food? Absolutely delicious. My unexpected top three: the refreshing watermelon salad, the crave-worthy lamb and hummus (seriously thinking about it as I type this), and a tie between those insanely crispy Brussels sprouts and the decadent bread pudding with ice cream. Yum doesn't even begin to cover it. Now all that's left is to open a location in Long Beach. Please and thank you! Jed

Dined here for lunch on a Thursday with my husband and brother-in-law for the first time. Let me tell you, it was AMAZING. Every bite was delicious! We had the gem salad, Noa's Cauliflower, stuffed mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, sea bass, octopus, and a stuffed grilled pita! Everything was so great, we are trying to figure out how to make this a weekly treat! Plenty of outdoor dining was available! Each dish either came with a sauce on the side or drizzled with something amazing! This is a much try!

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!

Bacari is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Considering so many different restaurants in the LA area, this says a lot. I love the quality and taste of the food. The tapas style is perfect for someone who likes to try different foods in one setting. The cocktails are balanced, and the server is always lovely and friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I like to sit outside to do some people watching and whatnot. The validate parking at the Americana, but I prefer parking lot A across the street, which has free EV charging.

Solid tapas style restaurant, super fun to try a variety of different plates. I came with a party of 4 to celebrate a friend's birthday. It was very easy to make a reservation online. We sat indoors and loved the indoor outdoor concept and towards the end of the meal, they lit the candles and dimmed the lights for a more romantic ambience. We ordered 9 plates to share, which was the perfect amount of food and left us stuffed. All the plates comes out as they are made, which ensures the food tastes its best. Smoked mushroom pizza (5/5) - so delicious and love the amount of mushrooms! Would 100% order this again. Glazed pork belly (3/5) - nothing special, very small to share, would pass next time. Octopus (2/5) - tasty but not worth the price, disappointed that it only came with 7 little bite sized pieces of octopus. Shrimp ceviche (4/5) - very fresh, amazing appetizer and paired so well with the lime chili chips. Stuffed mushroom (5/5) - soo good and the mushrooms were extremely juicy! Burrata caprese (4/5) - loved the pesto that came with this, nice soft baguette. Brussels sprouts (5/5) - perfect amount of caramelization, delicious sauce, and big portion size. Tripoline pasta (3/5) - nothing memorable, very small portion, needs more flavor and maybe some protein. Sea bass (4/5) - cooked perfectly, paired well with the shishito pepper and corn. Overall, solid food and friendly service. The restaurant validates for 2 hours at Americana for parking. I also appreciated that our server brought out a delicious complimentary bread pudding with vanilla ice cream to make our birthday girl feel extra special!

I came here a few times and the food used to be delicious, I dont know what happened but this time every dish we got was very salty and just not good. We ordered a couple non~alcoholic drinks which was very pricey and taste bad, I would not recommend. For the amount we paid, this place is not worth it. Also, it was really hot and humid inside even with the AC. Probably not a good idea to go during the summer. 3 stars for the previous times I went, when the food was good.

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!

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.

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.

With many retail locations closed for Easter, the Americana at Brand was open so we made reservations for brunch at Bacari GDL. It was a beautiful sunny day, so we asked to be seated at the patio. The ambiance is quite different from the other locations -- I'm not fond of the fake ferns and ivy that have not held up well to the outdoors. We also felt that the service was not as attentive. But happily, the food was the same -- fresh, flavorful and so, so delicious. We ordered our favorites starting with the Egg Pizza with Bacon, Lamb Hummus and Glazed Pork Belly, then ended with the Feta Filo and Bread Pudding. Bacari is one of our favorite places to dine, but with several other lovely locations, I don't think we'll return to this one.

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.

This was my 4th time visiting a Bacari location, and it didn't disappoint. The outdoor seating area was spacious and ideal for summer dining. The service was fast and attentive, we never felt rushed, which was appreciated. The food was overall good; though the potato taco was a bit too oily for my taste.

First time here and it was a great experience. We sat upside in the nice weather and the service was quick. The server was nice and had good recommendations as I am a vegetarian. I think her name was Preet. Drinks: I had a bacarita. It was very refreshing. Food: we had the pear and Brie pizza. It is a bit sweet but good. I had added red pepper flakes and it was even better! The broccoli was good too.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a restaurant to meet at with a wide selection of creative food and good vibes. Atmosphere was just as important as the food. We went here for lunch and this restaurant ticked off all the boxes! This is really a tapas bar but we went for lunch. It was so fun to have creative and delicious shareables. We shared the Gem lettuce salad which was absolutely excellent. Looking at it you would think there wouldn't be much to it but the flavors were just bursting! Next week shared the Seabass and it was delicately and perfectly prepared. We also shared the pesto stuffed mushrooms. The highlight was probably the shrimp and polenta, it was exploding with flavor and I really wanted just to order it four times and call it a day! Although the mushrooms were really good it was our least favorite of all the dishes we tried. But please know it was really good. The atmosphere was a little bit noisy but it was lively and enjoyable to hear. We sat on the inside but they also have an expensive covered patio that runs along the side of the restaurant on Brand Boulevard. There was plenty of parking inside the Americana parking lot. Pro tip the restaurant is on the brand Boulevard side not the central Avenue side so when you park keep that in mind for when you're walking back to figure out which part of the lot you are in I highly recommend this restaurant everything was so perfect, even the reservations were easy Peezy we reserved on Open Table and we actually got a text message from a human at the restaurant asking us to contact them if we needed anything or if we'd be more than 15 minutes late I will definitely be going back because there's so much more I wanna try

Dined here after walking around the galleria, service was efficient and quick, they also gave recommendations in depth and with lots of information. Onto the food, the chef recommended getting 2-3 plates each to share and we ended up ordering the fried chicken sandwich sliders, the Mediterranean street corn, lettuce cups and the petit filet. Bill was around $100, in general that isn't too bad considering the pricing and ambiance but I will say the portions are extremely small. The "sliders" for example; was one slider cut In half, the Mediterranean street corn was extremely small as well and the petit filet was not evenly portioned. Granted most of these tasted fine apart from the lettuce cups which I thought was an odd pairing with the sauce and the lettuce was extremely bitter. Also, none of the dishes are served together which I felt exasperated the small portion sizes as we'd wait 15-20 minutes after finishing one dish to receive the next. Overall it wasn't an amazing experience, I would've just preferred ordering an appetizer and having a large entrée for each of us along with our drinks as we had left feeling hungry still, obviously in hindsight that isn't the style of the restaurant so take what you will with this Information.

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.

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.

Today was one of the important days of my life, my proposal. For this special day, I wanted to treat my fiancée and her best friends to a lunch that would be as memorable as our proposal. Entering Bacari GDL, the restaurant was intimate and had an inviting atmosphere. We were greeted by our host and waiter Lawrence who seated us quickly despite arriving early for our reservation. Lawrence was personable, kind and demonstrated great professionalism bt having the right timing to check on us. Lawrence was very knowledgeable of the diverse menu and made great recommendations for us to try. I have listed the dishes that we ordered below. APPETIZERS * Burrata Caprese ENTREES * Mediterranean Street Corn * Tripoline Pasta * Sea bass * Grilled Chicken Breast DESSERT * Malabi * The Best Cake * Bread Pudding The food was incredible and very flavorful. The portions are tapa serving size and it was very filling. It was a general consensus that the Burrata Caprese (Lawrence's recommendation) was delicious and sparked our appetite for the main dishes. My personal favorite for our meal was the Sea Bass (another one of Lawrence's recommendations). The sea bass was cooked perfectly and melted with each bite. All of the dishes we ordered delivered and did not disappoint. The bread pudding for dessert was exceptional and was the crowd favorite to top off our meal. Overall, I highly highly recommend this restaurant for the quality food and customer service from Lawrence. I hope Bacardi GDL gets the recognition they deserve as they made my proposal day even more memorable.

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!

Came here for a bday lunch and it was good! Staff was friendly and food was pretty good too. We made reservations online and put birthday in the special occasion section. After the meal was done, they ended up bringing out a bday dessert without any of us asking! What a thoughtful gesture. Ended up ordering 5 dishes and the favs were beets and smoked mushroom pizza.

Just dined here and was pretty underwhelmed. It took forever for our waitress to come greet us after being seated. Once she did, she didn't even properly introduce herself, just asked us what we wanted to drink. The drinks were strong but just okay tasting; tapas were hit and miss. The burrata and toast were good, the pork belly tasted super gamey. Twice staff brought us food that we didn't order. When the waitress brought the check, there were several incorrect items on there. Just wasn't what we were expecting for a $250+ meal.

Food: great tasting variety in small, tapas style sharing plates; the Lettuce Cups have pached shrimp & calamari, carrot slaw, yuzu aioli, breakfast radish, scallion, urfa pepper; Tripoline Pasta is handmade, pasilla pepper cream, romesco, toasted almond, and cilantro; Brussels Sprouts are caramelized, pomegranate molasses, creme fraiche, red beet Service: great, timely service Design: interiors has an old-world European vibe with an eclectic mix of paintings on the left wall with a great bar on the right Overall: if you want a unique european tapas style menu to share, then check out this place in the Americana

We celebrated a birthday here and ordered lots of different plates so that we each could share and get a taste. Our server was really lovely and she kept checking in on us. Actually the whole evening was very relaxing. Good food and a really nice vibe. You can sit inside or outside, which is on the street, but they've decorated it nicely. Some of my favorites were the shwarma tacos, falafel, the beets and the shrimp ceviche.

Alright. It's a restaurant, so I have to tell you, food first, every bite was uniquely incredible. But Christian, without him we wouldn't have the recommendations, and energy necessary for the awesome date night for me and my wife. We work a lot, so it means the world. Thank you Bacari and Christian the yoda.

Came here for a late dinner for Friendmas for a group of 6 at 8:30 PM, and this was a wonderful meal. The atmosphere is quite intimate and cozy because of the dark lighting, and the sound level wasn't too loud, ideal for conversation. Standouts for me: *Stuffed mushrooms: Basil walnut pesto was excellent with the five cheese blend, and the mushrooms were tender and juicy. *Scallop medallions: I loved the carrot parsnip puree that came with this--it was a great texture that paired well with the perfectly grilled scallops. Truffle oil was a nice touch. *Bacon and double cream brie: pizza crust was crispy and the saltiness of the bacon went great with the creamy cheese. Service was wonderful--our waitress helped us split the bill for our group in two, and she was also careful with confirming food allergies in our group. They also validate parking. Great place and lots of variety for shareable plates.

I made reservations for party of 4 and I had to change my reservation due to an emergency and they were able to accommodate my request. The food is tapas style, smaller portions but it was nice that we were able to share several dishes. We ordered Bacari burger with bacon and top bun, pork belly, shawarma, brussel sprouts, pesto dip - I forgot the actual name, best cake, and bread pudding. All the food was delicious. The Bacari burger is open burger so it doesn't have a top bun unless you ask for it. Pork belly was grilled with sweet soy sauce like sauce and a squeeze of lemon - the combination was delicious. The shawarma wasn't over powering with sauce and it complimented the other dishes. Overall, I think this place is great and I enjoyed the variety they had.

Visited this spot for a date night and we were not disappointed! Amazing ambiance, romantic, dimly lit and beautiful decor. The tapas style bites are fun for sampling different dishes and pairing with drinks. The service was incredible too, everyone is very friendly and our server was helpful, attentive and professional. The food is all delicious - we had the burger, fries, pork belly bites, salad, and took the lamb hummus to go. By far the lamb hummus and pork belly are must try dishes. Both are flavorful, rich and the perfect treat for a date night or special occasion. The rose was also crisp and refreshing and overall I really enjoyed my experience here.

While I'm familiar with other Bacari locations, I tried the Glendale location for the the first time recently and had a great experience! What stood out the most was the excellent service; as soon as we were seated, our server was friendly and provided prompt attention. Throughout the meal, she checked in repeatedly and left us feeling very welcomed. The outside seating was comfortable and provided a lot of opportunities for people watching on the sidewalk. My friend and I shared a variety of dishes including the rainbow beets, Brussels sprouts, and the shawarma tacos. The beets were a colorful combo of roasted slices, and the tacos were well-seasoned with tender chicken.

Visited Bacari with a friend and had one of the best dining experiences I've probably ever had in LA! We stumbled across this establishment while we were exploring the Americana, since we wanted to give the restaurants here a try. We spoke to the hosts who said that it'd be a 25 minute wait and they'd text us when a table was available. We strolled around the Americana awhile and viewed the menu since we had some time. Not even 10 minutes had passed when we got a notification saying our table was ready! Our first impression coming in was that Bacari is so trendy, modern, and lively! Almost every table in the place was filled and they had tons of patio seating -- but a limited number of tables within the restaurant itself. (it's also super dark inside, but was definitely a vibe) We got seated outside and it was decorated beautifully! There were twinkle lights and greenery (garland?) strung all around, along with candles on each table. It was definitely giving a romantic vibe! But after seeing the variety of people -- I found it's also the perfect spot for either an intimate group setting or for catching up with a friend. We got right to ordering the Margherita Pizza, Tripoline Pasta, and Noa's Cauliflower! It's important to note that Bacari is tapas style, so the portions will be small and everything is meant to be shared. The service here is a 10/10, everyone was so sweet and helpful! They came back to check on us numerous times and had made sure that my friend who has a food allergy was well taken care of. Now for the food itself.....delicious! My friend and I loved each item and we were already pretty stuffed after sharing our plates, though we only ordered a few dishes! It's definitely more on the pricey side for the small portions of food they offer, but I'd say it's definitely worth a try! The ambience, dishes, service, and our overall experience was truly impeccable! I hope to come back soon and try more of what they have to offer.

Our server, Agnes was so amazing! She was very knowledgeable in the entrees and described them to us as it was my first time coming here. We were seated fairly quickly despite them already having a steady flood of customers. She was held a very good conversation with us a lot of the time and has an amazing bubbly personality. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and I will HAPPILY come back again!

If you're looking for a good, upscale restaurant with a large selection of food, good drinks & a nice outdoor seating area... this is it! It is perfect for happy hour as a group can split lots of Tapas style dishes. Our server recommended the Stuffed Mushrooms, Glazed Pork Belly and Burrata Caprese. They were all great but the STUFFED MUSHROOMS were absolutely AMAZING! I'm not even a huge mushroom fan, but the pesto-like sauce was insane. I hope to try the Sea Bass next time as he highly recommended that one as well. Service is always great, which is another plus! I believe our server's name was Lawrence.

Faris is truly a gem! He is the sweetest, kindest, most attentive gentleman we've had the pleasure of being served by in a long time. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcomed and taken care of. He constantly checked in to see how we were doing, went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect, and did it all with the most genuine smile and warmth. The food was so hot and so great too! Faris gave us an unforgettable experience, the kind that reminds you how powerful great customer service can be. People like him make the world brighter. We absolutely love him and can't wait to come back just to see him again. He deserves all the stars and more! Thank you Faris!

Amazing food, Our server Geoffrey was so informative on how their menu works and recommended to get a few plates each to share! We tried four different dishes and bread pudding for dessert and all were so good! Such cosy ambiance, loved it would come again!
