This was my first time at this place, and I must say, everything was absolutely excellent. The service was impeccable, and the food exceeded my expectations. I particularly enjoyed the putaco and street tacos, which were exceptional. I will definitely be returning to this establishment.

Located on 6th Ave near the bar district, It's a quick bite kinda place and parking can be challenging but we found a spot around the corner, on a Saturday night, pretty easy. Food was excellent but for first timers it's confusing when you first walk in. There is an order counter right in front of you, a self-order kiosk to the left, and an entire room to the right that looks like it's supposed to be a bar or hopes of becoming one? that was attended, but no menu or board showing any drinks so i wasnt sure if we were supposed to go to her or the kiosk. Wasn't sure where exactly I was supposed to order. Staff came over after I started for the kiosk and took our order but I ended up feeling like I inconvenienced them, which made the experience awkward instead of just enjoyable.
We had the street tacos, mixed and asada, which were really very tasty. Seating is limited so if you want to eat there just be aware it might be a take and go kinda situation if they're busy. I'm coming back for sure but the business has room to grow in the customer svs aspect, and I say that in the hopes it really does. It's reasonably priced and I'm a fan of the food.

Please make this a local stop for those in the area! Food is amazing! Asada tacos were the favorite, but you can’t go wrong with pupusas and burritos! Get them with hot sauce for sure!

I’m saddened to say that my husband and I got food poisoning last week from the mix burrito and quesadilla. We loved Balcon but over the year their quality has gone down a lot

If you’re on 6th Ave and you want tacos, this is your spot! I had two mix street tacos and a pork and cheese pupusa. This is some of the best food I’ve had in Tacoma. The service is quick, the food is delicious, and the staff are excited to be here. I plan to be back often!

Good food, clean space, decent service, reasonable price. Appreciated the salsas, including an actually spicy one 👍

I have only ever got tacos here, but dang are they delicious. The service is pretty quick. They have delicious hot sauce (three varieties, but I always get the extra spicy one and the green one). There is not much seating and the building itself is a little bit cold due to the large windows, so make sure to wear a sweatshirt during the colder months. It is always clean and tidy in there though. The music always hits and, especially when I start eating the food, I can’t help but do a happy dance to the fun tunes. Finally, the staff are super friendly, nice, and welcoming. Go check this place out. I don’t think you will regret your decision.

Can’t recommend this place enough. I got the torta and my friend putaco. Both were delicious! Authentic food with friendly staff, clean restaurant, and excellent service. I’m visiting from out of town, but if I lived closer I would be here often!
