    Best Chilaquiles in town. My husband and I go to this Bacari every Sunday after Church service. We’ve been to other Bacaris and the Glendale one is the best.

    I celebrated my birthday at TAO Asian Bistro, and it was an incredible experience! The ambiance was stunning, with the beautiful decor and lively energy making the evening feel extra special. The food was absolutely delicious—everything we ordered was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The lobster fried rice and spicy tuna crispy rice were standout dishes! The service was exceptional, with attentive staff who made sure our night was flawless. They even surprised me with a personalized birthday dessert, which added such a thoughtful touch to the celebration. TAO is definitely a bit on the pricier side, but the overall experience was worth every penny. It’s the perfect spot for a special occasion, and I can’t recommend it enough! I’ll definitely be back.
