" I’ve been a regular at El Balcón for years now, and I've never been disappointed! Their menudo is exceptional and reminds me of my grandma’s recipe. The ambiance is family-friendly, filled with laughter and chatter. The staff is familiar with our order, which makes us feel valued as customers. The only downside is their parking situation, which can get hectic during peak hours. But for the food quality, I often find it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to El Balcón on a Sunday. The service was prompt and friendly, and we felt welcomed right away. I ordered the carne en su jugo, and it was flavorful and comforting, accompanied by their spicy salsa that packs a punch! The only drawback is their check splitting policy, which caused some confusion. However, the food and overall experience made it worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lunch date at El Balcón, and I was thoroughly impressed! The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting. I tried their special of the day, which was a shrimp ceviche tostada—delicious! I was amazed at how fresh the ingredients tasted. The portions were generous too, giving good value for what we paid. The servers were attentive but not overbearing. A great little spot and I’d highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Balcón on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! I decided to order the specialty, the carne en su jugo, and I can confidently say it's one of the best I’ve ever had! The staff was accommodating and worked hard to ensure I was satisfied with my meal. Definitely a 5-star experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at El Balcón was a fantastic experience overall. The range of authentic Mexican dishes offered is impressive! We sampled a variety of items from the menu, and each dish was delicious and packed with flavor—especially the barbacoa! The staff was delightful, ensuring our drinks were always full. Create more spots like this, please! Can’t wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried El Balcón for dinner and were blown away by the quality of the food! My partner and I both tried different plates, and we shared everything! The portion sizes were generous. I loved the vibrant flavors and fresh produce! A perfect date night with fabulous food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Balcón is not what it's cracked up to be. I was looking for an authentic Mexican experience, but the fish tacos I ordered were soggy and bland. Service was friendly, but with the food quality lacking, I don’t see myself returning anytime soon. Disappointed, to say the least. " (*Curated Review*)
