    A beautiful, historical restaurant with incredible city views, overlooking the plaza and Cathedral. The food and cocktails were delicious, including a very fine selections of wine. Service was very attentive and excellent. The only negative drawbacks; -the terrace was cold and uncomfortable in temperature, -unfortunately, the one item I looked forward to the most on the menu was not available, -couple of very loud, rowdy tables nearby disrupted the ambience. Overall, it was a wonderful, unique and pleasant dining experience.

    Maravillosa experiencia para celebrar nuestro aniversario y el mes del amor ❤️ ingredientes y sabores muy originales, detalles hermosos y muy cuidados. La atención y acompañamiento te hacen sentir bienvenido y excelentemente atendido. Todo nos encantó. Sólo el último platillo del menú de degustación no nos gustó, un raviol relleno de carne en salsa de cacao…estaba salado, seco, no sabía a cacao…todos los demás platillos exquisitos, los postres y cockteles también de diez!

    Our recent visit to Balcón del Zócalo was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, kind service that made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable, and their attentiveness truly stood out. The highlight of our visit, without a doubt, was the breathtaking view. Overlooking the historic Zócalo, the panoramic vista of Mexico City's iconic landmarks was simply mesmerizing. Whether we were enjoying a meal or simply sipping on a drink, the view added an unforgettable touch to every moment. We spent the day exploring the historic center of the city, soaking in its rich culture and vibrant energy, and Balcón del Zócalo was the perfect way to cap off our adventure. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and that incredible view made it an experience we’ll cherish. We can’t wait to return and relive this amazing experience. Balcón del Zócalo is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the heart of Mexico City in style. Highly recommended!
