El Bacano is a family-run restaurant serving delicious and authentic Dominican cuisine in NoHo. The food is full of flavor and made with love, reminiscent of homemade meals. Customers praise the quick service, fresh ingredients, and varied menu. The moro and morir soñando are highly recommended, and vegetarian options like empanadas are available. The mango drink is a standout, tasting like real mangoes. The restaurant's colorful decor gives it a lively, tropical atmosphere, making it feel like an episode of Miami Vice. It is the only place in LA where people can sit down and enjoy Dominican food in this vibrant setting. Visitors can try hearty breakfast plates, mangu (mashed plantains), guisados (stewed meat plates), and chimi burgers. The pollo guisado with tender bone-in chicken in flavorful gravy, rice, and plantains is a popular choice. There is also a salad option, either green or potato salad. The icy beverage Morir Soñando is like an elevated Orange Julius with concentrated flavor. The dining area is small, with about seven tables, lively background music, and friendly staff. Located in Victory Plaza shopping center, there is plenty of parking, and wheelchair accessibility makes it easy for all guests to enjoy the experience. Many visitors find the food nostalgic and worth the drive, eager to taste the real Dominican flavors.
