Check Out This Affordable & Delicious Spot Near USC: Bacari 🥩✨

Suddenly craving steak, I searched for nearby restaurants and found this place. I’ve passed by it countless times over the years but never stepped inside. To my surprise, the unassuming exterior hides a beautifully decorated and cozy atmosphere inside~ The dishes are served in small portions—ordering 2–3 plates is perfect for one person. It’s also great for sharing with friends so you can try more things! Best part? Every dish is only around 10–15! 💰 This time, I tried the server’s recommendations + the steak I was craving. Here’s my ranking based on our taste preferences: 1️⃣ Stuffed Mushroom Creamy cheese + nutty parsley sauce piled onto juicy, roasted mushrooms—so flavorful! 😋 2️⃣ Sea Bass Grilled sea bass fillet—boneless and tender. Served with roasted cherry tomatoes, corn, and peppers. So aromatic! 3️⃣ The Best Cake + Ice Cream A rare and surprising combo—I’ll keep the secret so you can try it yourself! Sweet tooths, don’t miss this one. 4️⃣ Mediterranean Street Corn Grilled sweet corn—can’t go wrong with this classic! 🌽 5️⃣ Glazed Pork Belly Similar to Dongpo pork, but the belly is fried until crispy. A bit too dry and tough for my taste. 6️⃣ Petit Filet Ordered medium-rare. It was just okay—not very memorable. The zucchini side dish was nice though. ⚠️ Heads up: The cocktail recommended by the bartender wasn’t great! Stick with wine or other drinks instead. #LAEats #USCFood #InternationalCuisine #FoodieFind #CozyVibes #SharePlates #BudgetFriendly #HiddenGem #SteakLovers #SweetTooth #LosAngelesFood #ExploreLA
