El Balconcito

I always go to the castor location and thought I’d give this location a try and they tried it real bad… I ordered camarones al ajillo and they gave me a bunch of frozen shrimp in melted butter and let me add that I showed the light skin waitress how frozen the shrimps were and she could’ve cared less she was too busy flirting with the men at the bar

We went a couple weeks ago. The service was very friendly but slow. The restaurant was very unassuming. Looked like it was an old take out pizza place that they made into their own. Could use a sprucing up. The food was on the pricey side but it was plentiful and tasty. We really enjoyed the ceviche and octopus salad! The salt cod fritters where stuffed fill of fish! I got a whole grilled fish simply prepared. We order a bunch of dishes and again everything was tasty except for the mashed potatoes pure de papas. They are serving boxed powdered mashed pots, why? Everything else was tasty but the take a shortcut with potatoes? We would go again if we are in the area.

I came here with my family last weekend and have visited many times before. The food and customer service are both excellent. I definitely recommend.Food: 5/5

Everything was delicious. Todo delicioso Food: 5/5

The amount of food that they serve is crazy!!! We were 4 and order : 1 Jalea, 1 Rice with seafood, 1 fried shrimps.. And it was so much food that we took home a few foodboxes lol. We will be back. Also the hospitality is crazy, they are really kind and welcoming.. Honestly best restaurant so far in our trip here in Philly. Recommendation : Only order 1 plate each 2 person otherwise you'll leave food to go!! Parking: EZ parking

Wow just wow. I literally spend 74$ on 2 things in this place. One was a paella and another one was a T-bone steak. I asked for a medium rare. The steak is hard and overly cook. The mash potato is from a box you can taste it and is craaaaazy salty. I couldn’t even eat it. The steak is so hard to chew. And the steak alone was $28 and for that price is freaking beyond ridiculous. Here’s an image for everyone to see.

I love this restaurant, all the waitress are very friendly , even the chef's, they make you feel like a family.

Ceviche was so fresh, rice an beans amazing, talerines verdes was so tasty. The service was the best, go early this place gets packed.Food: 5/5

The food used to be a lot better.. the soup used to be creamier and the beans were better also the place is not as clean anymore. The only good thing is that Service got better..

The food and service were great ! I will return back soonFood: 5/5
