Luna Llena, y corazón contenta. I loved everything about this place. The set menu options. The food was so delicious. Perfect portions. The view best of all. Seeing the full moon, during dinner. And we didn’t even sit near the balcony and still capture some beautiful images. I cannot wait to go back. My favs were the watermelon ceviche and the chocolate dessert, but everything we had was delicious and interesting. Also the cocktails & mocktails were the BEST! the bread comes out with chocolate butter...so ENJOY! Do bring a jacket if you want the seats with a view on a cooler night. It's a restaurant with a spectacular view of the Zócalo, located on the top floor of the building, accessible by elevator. The food is very good, and the drinks are equally good. The cocktails are a bit pricey, and you should pay close attention to the bill because they add a $20 service charge that isn't mandatory. If you don't notice, they'll add it without explanation, and it doesn't count as a tip.

We had an incredible experience at Balcón. Here’s what we loved: - Phenomenal service: due to the teacher protest we were late for our reservation but they waited patiently for us to arrive; waitstaff was always helpful, quick to refill water/drinks and never skipped a beat with our questions about the menu. - drinks were unique and exceptionally tasty - views of Plaza de Constitutión and the buildings were incredible. - food was top notch! Our group chose to do the pick 3 option on the menu: Tirana ceviche, shrimp taco, filet taco, octopus, tlacoyo tacos, totoaba filet on mole, heirloom tomato salad, rib-eye, everything was absolutely delicious! - perfect portion-size - never felt rushed to finish an item - heaters were flanking our table which helped as the temperature cooled outside. Things I would change if we could: - our choices of clothing! We were right at the front of the balcony which was fantastic for the amazing views but it was quite windy. I would have worn nice pants and brought a thicker sweater. - prepare for a lot of traffic getting there especially if there is a protest going on (we had to walk the last few blocks due to road closures associated with the teachers’ protest).
