I visited Bakan on a Tuesday night in the month of December. I was able to find parking on the adjacent street which was NW 2nd Ave and Nw 28th st. The parking was $6.5 for 2 hours which was more than enough to eat something and then walk around after. You will need the PayByPhone app to pay for parking. You can always extend your time for parking through the app.
I had a great time here at Bakan. The ambience was beautiful, the aesthetics are pleasing, and the music is just at the right level. It was a nice windy Tuesday night and I decided to sit outside. The reception wasn't very pleasing... and it could have definitely been better. I stood there waiting to be seated while the receptionist ignored me. I had to ask her for service. No welcome, no greeting, no friendly smile or recognition of my presence.
However, the service inside was excellent. The wait to be seated was short. All the waiters were attentive, kind, and professional. Additionally, I asked them a lot of questions which they answered with the upmost patience and detail. I asked about their organic tortillas, their pet policy (you can bring your service animal or your regular pet), and for nutrition facts. Although they didn't have the nutrition facts written down anywhere, they offered to go ask the chef for the nutrition facts which was awesome.
I ordered the TACOS DE SHORT RIB. These had a good price for the location. The food was ready in less than 10 minutes. It was delicious. I wish I could describe the taste better, but that's just what I can say! DELICIOUS!
About their Tortillas: Bakan grinds their "Nixtamal" daily in house. You can actually see them do this in the kitchen. They import their corn from communities in the State of Mexico
The inside of the restaurant is beautiful.
Another plus about eating here is that you can go walk around after you're done eating. If you visit during the nighttime, I suggest you walk south on NW 2nd ave. and don't stray off on the side streets unless you see a lot lights and people. Just to stay safe :)
Anyhow, I hope you found this...
