    This is one of the most satisfying dining experiences I've ever had. My husband and I each had the 4 course tasting menu and every single item we chose was excellent. We learned that the menu always changes and that may be part of this place's appeal. I believe no matter which appetizer or main entree you decide on, you won't be disappointed. The portions are adequate. You won't leave the place hungry, but just the opposite, very satisfied and happy. And that view! We caanot tall about this restaurant without saying saying about the view. It was amazing. We sat on the very front table right up against the balcony railings. Our view of the cathedral and the Centro can't get any better than that. We spent about 2.5 hours there during lunch and that was part of reason why this experience was unforgettable. This place is a must visit for special occasions. Be prepared to spend about $100 per person. We highly recommend Balcony Del Zocalo when in Mexico City.

    Balcón offers stunning views of Mexico City’s iconic Zócalo and cathedral, paired with creative cuisine. The cochinita pibil gyozas are a must-try! If you are on a tight budget the places is bit pricey, but worth it for the food, ambiance, and unbeatable location.

    Demasiado caro y mal servicio. No lo vale ni por la vista bonita del zócalo. La comida carísima para el sabor y las porciones.
