I’ve gone to a few of these locations and they are all pretty great. The food, service, and atmosphere are great. Our waitress at this location, Allison, was very sweet and kind enough to describe what went into some of the dishes.

El Balcón has amazing Colombian food! And this is a beautiful location. Everything we order from the empanadas, pan de bono, y buñuelo to the entrees like la entraña, tamales, etc are delicious. Definitely need to get the ají. Andres was a very attentive waiter, offering us extra ají, chimichurri, and refills.
