EL BALCON MARGATE DISGUSTING! This afternoon I ordered two…read moreCuban sandwiches. This is what I got soggy bread loaded with mustard. I believe there's mayonnaise on it (not sure what white gunk is) with fatty pork they were expensive as you can see on the receipt I work too hard for my money to to be served something like this, no utensils no napkins just here's your soggy fatty mustard sandwich. I called to let them know that it was inedible and instead of rectifying the situation they hung up on me. I usually have great things to say about a lot of great restaurants, but this one went straight in the garbage. Don't waste your money on El Balcon.

The chicken was based in tomato sauce, I don't think there was any other seasoning on it. The restaurant itself is very nice, very spacious, and I can tell it's used for large parties. The service was OK, after I received my food they never came back to check on me, I had to get her attention when I wanted to pay. All things considered, I would go back to taste something else because I like the portions; I paid $9. I took the rest of my food home and added some seasoning.

People were even getting up and dancing it was a great vibe. The patio was full so we sat inside which was fine with us, as the karaoke was a little loud. Our server was very nice and friendly. The food came out super fast and was super hot and delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection and it was all large portions. The food was decently priced and the place was clean. Definitely recommend.

I wasn't wrong. First of all, the menu comes with color photos, that's extremely helpful. The food is flavorful and addictive. From the chicharron, empanadas, soup, tostones, grilled steak and chicken to the ethnic drinks, it reminded me of the good times I've had during the 80s when I would go to Columbia for secret missions and hang out with their babes.

We were one of only 3 tables and the one server was very attentive. They had latin pop music playing at a volume that was just right. We both got bowls off the lunch pricing menu. And we out food was out in 11 mins after placing the order. I got the Antiqueno. And it was great. Enjoyed the portion and the simple flavors. The pork belly was cooked perfectly which quite frankly is something that many restaurants mess up. They had also had these three home made sauces that were brought out to the table. One of which was a passion fruit based mayo that worked super well with my bowl. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

It was quite good. The special included today's soup -- a bowl of cilantro soup. It reminded me of dal or pea soup. It was tasty. A chicken breast with mushrooms in a mustard sauce along side fluffy white rice, sweet plantains, and an interesting potato salad (with veggies and chicken). My husband got their avocado salad. It was a huge plate with lettuce, tomato slices, onion slivers, and wedges of fresh avocado. On the side was a passion fruit dressing and another one with cilantro. Service was good. Our food came out fast from the kitchen. And yes, we would rerun .

We had the beans, rice, sweet plantains, fries, and salad. It was all scrumptious and couldn't have asked for more for only $67. Nothing was dry and everything was flavorful. Our waitress was very patient and practiced our Spanish with us and we practiced English with her. She explained everything really well and kept us from over ordering. She was outstanding. The restaurant has a section with comfortable chairs and tables, but they also have two bars and a more casual seating section. The music was upbeat and fun without being too loud to talk over. They have nice little Colombian knickknacks for sale. We were too full to try desserts, but the ones behind the counter looked great! This place came highly recommended by our Colombian friend for authentic Cali food and now we recommend it to you.

Today I ordered Carne Asada and was just as delighted as my first visit. The entrée itself was very full. It came with grilled steak, rice, french fries and the salad. The steak was grilled to perfection and did not need any sauce however I did appreciate the sauce it came with. The rice was a salty delight. The salad was fresh and I love the tomato toppings. The service can be a little slow, but it's worth the short wait. The restaurant itself is quite big, it can fit both small and large families. There are booths and tables to choose from. Please check out this restaurant! 5/5.

It was flavorful and different with an egg inside with smooth potatoes and perfectly fried on the outside. The paisa was a great platter served with great portions of everything to try and a must have.
