El Balcon Restaurant Reviews
Arrived at 10:58am and did not get food until 11:55am. Other customers that arrived after us got their food to go and finished eating before we got our food. The pupusas were dry did not have enough cheese, chicharron or beans. The carne Asada was not fully cooked, had lots of red areas, and had a lot of fatty greasy parts. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
It's a little hole in the wall place but the service was very friendly. I had an asada burrito and fish tacos. Both were good, not standout, but tasty. I was expecting more from the tacos. The meal did come with complementary bean dip which was delicious! I'd go again and try some more things on the menu.

A quiet place with loud Spanish television, their patio becomes a happening hot spot on the weekends with live mariachi and marimba bands. Their food is somewhat nondescript and their chips are positively depressing, like the bargain basement offerings from Walmart. Pupusas are only so so and their meat is poorly spiced. However, you feel like you're getting a huge deal as their portions are large and their prices small.
