Little slow the prep of the last breakfast we had on Sunday, the place had 6 tables max but the waiting was 40 min. For the food alone. Besides that the food is worth it to come back.

An absolutely hidden gem. Excellent, authentic Mexican food. We tried the shrimp ceviche, mole poblano and the combinacion Azteca, and flan for dessert. Everything was amazing. The mole was so flavorful. The flan was delicious! We also tried three different margaritas. They were all great! My favorite was probably tamarindo. Highly recommend this place.

Who needs Javier’s when you have Balvina’s. This place is way too underrated. High quality food and service without any pretentiousness. Plus they serve authentic dishes from Puebla Mexico you can find anywhere else.
