El Balconcito offers a pleasant dining experience with excellent service, patient and kind waitresses, and a welcoming atmosphere. The food is incredibly fresh and flavorful, with beautifully presented dishes like bistek encebollado, octopus salad, mixed fried seafood, and Jalea. Portions are generous—sometimes even too much—so sharing is recommended. The servers are incredibly helpful, and the hospitality is crazy kind. While most seafood is good, some dishes like the calamari can be chewy. The restaurant is kid-friendly, wheelchair accessible, and has easy parking. Vegetarian options are available, making it a great spot for all diners.
