    Excelente, como siempre, el menú degustación nos encantó. Es la 5a vez que vamos y el chef, Pepe Salinas, siempre nos sorprende y deleita. El equipo de servicio es de lo mejor, Chucho, Emiliano y todos se esmeran por hacerte sentir en casa. El ambiente único en la ciudad. Sin duda, regresaremos.

    Entrees were good. The ravioli and fish very good. The asparagus way way overdone limp tasteless. The squid portion could not feed a tiny baby. The ambiance and table service very good.

    El Balcón del Zócalo boasts an undeniably stunning location, offering breathtaking views of Mexico City’s historic downtown and the iconic cathedral. The ambiance is elevated by its privileged vantage point, making it a prime spot for soaking in the beauty of the Zócalo area. Unfortunately, the dining experience does not live up to the setting. The food is average at best and does not justify the high prices. The menu options are limited, which further detracts from the overall experience, especially in a city celebrated for its rich and diverse culinary offerings. Additionally, the service is notably slow, which diminishes the enjoyment of what should be a memorable visit. El Balcón del Zócalo seems to prioritize its location over delivering a high-quality dining experience. While it may be worth a visit for the view alone, it falls short of representing the incredible culinary standards Mexico City is known for. Regrettably, it feels more like a tourist-oriented destination rather than a showcase of the city’s vibrant gastronomy. For those seeking an authentic and exceptional culinary experience in Mexico City, there are far better options available.
