This place is not what it just to be.
The food quality is not what it was.... But the prices are ridiculously high for what you get.

I would give this place a 0. The food took forever to come out. The waitress was very condescending and on top she dropped a plantain and brought it out later but how ironic that the temperature of supposedly new one was the same as the one she brought earlier. Disgusting

The food was top notch, but I have give this restaurant one star. This restaurant had been mine and my families go to place for all of our celebrations and family events. The service and wait staff were terrible. As soon as we got sited my mom asked if we could have a large table because we were going to order two grilled seafood platers and the waitress told us no. The platers were one for my parents and one for my husband and I. Then when our food was going to come the said she wanted to add another table because ours was to small. And to top all off we pay our bill we only had $20s our bill was $212.00 we pay $240.00 and the waitress didn't bring back our change. We called our waitress over and asked for our change and she said she thought we had made a mistake and left extra money as a tip. So if she thought we made a mistake why not bring us our change and be honest about it. We will no longer be dining at the restaurant after almost 20 years of being a loyal customer.

Decided to try this spot out today and left completely satisfied. The portions were generous, the food came out quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered multiple appetizers, including the yuca frita, tostones relleno, papas a la huancaína, and of course, an order of salchipapas. For mains, we got the tallarines verdes. I asked for a medium steak and my friend ordered the bistec empanizado. The sauce on the noodles was fantastic. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. I even had to place a whole separate order for takeout because I couldn’t choose just one thing to bring home. Not to mention the desserts—the flan was perfect, and the cheesecake was just as great. Be sure to grab a pisco cocktail too. I was a big fan of the maracuyá sour!

The food was very bad today I went with my parents and the chaufa rice was very simple the grilled chicken is reheated the ceviche was horrible and the chicken with mushrooms was even more horrible because the mushrooms were very hard the steak is very tough I will never go back to that place again😘

Loved our dinner at El Balconcito The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with beautifully presented dishes that were a delight to the eye my husband had the bistek encebollado and I had the octopus salad with a maracalla drink and everything was incredibly delicious. The servers were incredibly helpful would recommend them
