    The Bacari restaurants are my LA go to.  Tonight I brought family who had been to other locations but never to Silverlake. What a magical place it is, especially during the holidays. It was festive, the food was great, the server was fun and patient. Those folks work so hard in a location like this that is busy and multi leveled, serving a lot of different plates and knowing a large and varied menu. We were impressed with all of them. Loved our meal and our dining experience.

    Taste of the food and service were great! It is an open floor plan restaurant in the lobby of a hotel, so can get loud when a convention or conference is in the city. Hope my leftovers are just as good as eating there!

    We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!
