Taqueria El Balcon

I love this place. I’ve tried several different things and every time they hit a home run. The staff is very friendly. The only problem is I don’t live closer lol

Frequent flyer. Love this place. Pretty good menudo and pozole.

Our new favorite happy hour after work destination. The staff is amazing, the energy here is great. Best house margaritas we have tasted in town. Tuesday taco night almost feels like robbery the tacos are so amazing. Come in once and you will become instant regulars as we are now. Mario tge manager is one of the nicest people you will meet.

Went to eat with my family, noticed when we walked into the restaurant they had 10-20 homeless camping out at the entrance and across the parking lot. As we walked in we noticed a "be careful slip sign" at the door. We ordered our food, the cashier was very sweet. We sat at the table nearest the door and as we sat in the seat as soon as I felt the seat I felt something wet. As I stood up is when I realized by the horrific smell it was urine!! Completely disgusting. There was only 2 other ppl in the restaurant, so not sure why this wasnt cleaned and sterilized!! Ruined my pants

We went on to have lunch. 2 of us. We ordered at the counter our two meals and two margaritas. Tammy's food came first. She was almost done eating by the time my food was put down on the table and we never received the margaritas. I feel like the drinks should've been the first thing served??? I won't be going back there and they did credit us for the margaritas. They should also warn a person they are serving a Chimichanga to that they are extremely hot. I blew on this thing knowing it was fried and would be hot and still burnt my mouth badly.

Outstanding food and outstanding bar. Great salsa bar with great service. If you are unsure, just ask. They have a separation between food and bar ordering and they are very accommodating about getting you both if that's your need. Management is excellent and the owner does the food with pride. This place is a keeper!

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space, chips and mild salsa options for kids. Plenty of options on the kids menu, hi chairs, friendly towards unruly toddlers. All good people here.

On January 23, 2025...I ordered a $20.00 2 enchilada dinner...one cheese with verde and one shredded beef with red sauce. I DID Not get the Verde sauce, and the red sauce was some kind of blend of El Tapatio, Chalula and Tabasco sauce.. no red enchilada sauce AT ALL!!! IT WASNT EVEN RED.....IT WAS AN ORANGY HOT SAUCE COLOR. IT WAS HORRIBLE......NEVER AGAIN.

Great place to eat and Nice employees.

The woke server wanted us to go and order our food and drinks at the register when we stated we would sit at the bar after a long day of work.
She completely ignored us

Even though I live closer to the El Balcon in Fair Oaks, we drive out to Sacramento when we want really good Mexican food.
You have got the charred technique DOWN and your Bistek Ranchero is nothing like it was at your F.O. location.

Thank you for doing what you do so well♡♡♡
