El Balcón de las Américas - Coral Springs

Me and my boyfriend come here all the time for our anniversaries and we recently came here after a few months to celebrate our one year and we noticed the menu was different. We were very skeptical because it was missing our go to item so we purchased new things and it did not disappoint! We have never had something that's not delicious from this place. The atmosphere is wonderful and feels very homey. The prices are also really good for how much food there is and the staff is very persistent and comes to see if everything is good often. Overall I love this place it is one of my favorite restaurants I would highly recommend coming here!

WOW!!!! just WOW what an incredible experience! We came to this place just looking to try something new while I was in town, and I am SO glad we stopped by. The food was absolutely phenomenal full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The service was truly top tier; every member of the staff was kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our visit amazing. The live music brought such a fun vibe to the whole place, and the drinks were spot-on and super tasty. Seriously, do yourself a favor and check this place out you’ll be blown away by the awesome atmosphere, the fantastic team, and the unforgettable food! truly has to be one of my favorite restaurants I have ever tried!!! I will be making another trip in a couple months, and I will be stopping by again.

This is arguably one of the best Colonbian restaurants in South Florida. The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, the vibe is diverse and awesome and the location is easy to get to. If you are not familiar with the location, no worries, the GPS directions take you straight to it. There is plenty of free parking. Overall, 100% recommended.

We had a lovely Valentine’s Day dinner here! The food was incredible, the drinks were great, and the best part was the live karaoke- wonderful music and vibes. 10/10 we’ll definitely be back here😊!

It is always a pleasure to give a review to individuals that are so kind, professional, and compassionate. Anita has been here for a long time and all interactions have been amazing with the whole staff. Feeling a bit under the weather, knowing I needed something hardier to raise my iron. Even though I know their mondongo is amazing, she suggested from the breakfast menu liver with onions, tomato and Arepa, which also came with a complimentary coffee. I was skeptical as I am a very selective when it comes to eating liver, yet it was absolutely delicious. Their spicy homemade salsa made the combination absolutely perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the delicious suggestion and sitting outside with a beautiful breeze it made everything absolutely perfect. I'm leaving with a smile on my face, a happy belly and a uplifted spirit. Namaste.

El Balcón de las Américas in Coral Springs is a great spot to enjoy a nice meal! The place has a welcoming atmosphere, the food is delicious, and the service is quick and attentive. I also loved that they have live music outside the dining area—it really adds to the experience and gives it a lively, enjoyable vibe. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Was in search of a Steak Breakfast. This place checked all the boxes. The coffee and Mint Lemonade was refreshing. calentada paisa came with more food then I expected. Also had the Steak with Avocado. Delicious. Server was very nice and attentive she was evening singing to the music. You can tell the food and service is all with love 🫶🏼❤️ Will be happy to come back soon

Amazing staff, amazing food, amazing atmosphere! Everything was perfect. We had a great time here with the whole family. We were sat right away, our orders were taken within a couple of minutes and our food came out the quickest it’s ever been at any restaurant. The staff is incredibly kind and treats you like family. We had so much fun talking and laughing with them. The food was cooked perfectly and the menu had a great variety to select from. The drinks were incredible too. We will absolutely be going there again.

We've driven past here many times on Sample Road and keep saying we should stop, just to see what Colombian food is like. We had a great dinner here. I had liver with onions, my husband had chicken breast Milanesa. Both came with rice, mine also with a salad and beans. We'll come back again.

I'm going to be blunt. I don't like visiting this location because both times I've been here I noticed the staff treat the non Spanish speaking customers different. The sense of urgency isn't there. And the body language is becomes non chalant. And though I don't speak Spanish well, I'm Brazilian and understand it. And the last time I went the staff straight up said not nice things about another non Spanish speaking customers that was there. The flood is solid, but not worth.

Our family is from Colombia, so anytime I visit Florida it's a great time to try a new restaurant. I came in with my two little kids, sister and dad. We each ordered a coconut lemonade, this tasted beyond amazing, I wanted to keep ordering it over and over again. We got beef empanadas, fried fish, and a few bandejas paisas. The food was incredible, like being back in Medellin! Our server, Robert was also amazing, so sweet and attentive 5 stars all around! Great Place

Come here if you want a delicious meal! The food is consistently delicious, I mean, just look at the photo! It's large enough to share but you won't want to. The service is good and the ambiance is fun. I love the chicken with mushroom gravy. They have sweets you can buy on your way out too! Yum! Highly recommend.

I have been coming to this restaurant for many years period this is a delicious colombian restaurant that has changed all across south florida. The prices are extremely good and the portion sizes are also really good period my favorite is the mushroom chicken which is the chicken with champions.And it is really a delicious plate period the food is homemade delicious and great period the only thing i've multiply experienced is that the service can be a little bit lacking but the quality of the food and the good prices always makes up for it period. The environment is very latin, mostly spanish speaking.But they also do speak english.The locations are really clean and it's always a pleasure going here

Came here for breakfast for the first time and sat outside as it was a pleasant weather day. We were served by Naomi and she was awesome! She was quick with the food and gave great recommendations. I ate the Calentado El Balcon and it was very flavorful and filling. This place never disappoints!

First off, my apologies for not taking pics. Your girl was HUNGRY!!! My friend recommended this place on our way home from the beach after I mentioned I had been craving sancocho for the longest. It is a spacious place, impeccably clean (except for the light switch, but that's a personal obsession of mine!) the staff was friendly, and service was lighting fast. Within 10 minutes our food was on the table. The music was classic Colombian salsa, the aji delicious, and it hit all the right spots. I will absolutely be back ASAP. I hear they have Karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays.

This is one of my favorites for Colombian breakfast. I love their pan de queso and pan de Bono's. Ofcourse you have to pair it with some Colombian hot chocolate! I would definitely recommend el balcón

We visit El Balcón de las Americas almost every week. It my favorite Colombian restaurant of the many in the Coral Springs area. The have out door sitting, and from time to time life music. The ambiance is casual and often time festive. They have a nice selection of soups, typical Colombian and latin dishes, fruit juices smoothies, sangria, empanadas, and much more. The service is very attentive, and after coming here for some time, is nice when the servers remember you and treat you like old friends. If you like Colombian food you cannot go wrong coming here.

Love the place . This is my favorite Colombian place to visit I always get the aguatenando steak and the deap fry red snapper are my favorite also the basil limonade drink .I did try more items on the menu but for me this are my favorite the have live music Friday and Saturday also karaoke fun place to be also they sale backet off beer at reasonable price sorry I don't have any pictures but I highly recommend this restaurant

If you like Latin food with a true Latin vibe, this is your place! This El Balcón de las Americas is one of several in South Florida. We frequent this particular one every time we visit as we absolutely love Colombian cuisine. It is centrally located in a busy shoppling plaza on a busy road and has plenty of free parking. We ordered quite a few items, including the sweet corn arepa with cheese, pork rinds, ajiaco soup (creamy chicken soup), fruit juices and a meringue for dessert. Everything was delicious. One issue I had is that the chicken soup tasted a bit burnt today, which is the first time that happened to me. Other than that, it was great. Our server was friendly and helpful and was always on top of our needs. The astmosphete was alive with lots of families and a diverse and happy feel. There was even live music with a violinist playing Latin-themed sogs. I loved it. Overall, 100% recommended.

My experience was not a positive experience. I left after the appetizer because I don't want to waste my money a mediocre experience. Customer service. Was okay. Felt like the server disappeared after a certain time. Drink Soursop. 10/10. Very delish. Light and creamy. Love it. The best thing I had in this place. Space: have indoor/outdoor seatings. I sat outside. I like the outside and fans. Very cute date night spot Ceviche de chicharron $13.99 3/10 It had no seasoning. This was the most blend food over ever tasted. The food was missing some acidity or a different texture. The name ceviche is misleading. I thought since it was ceviche I thought the pork belly and the ceviche would be an interesting combo. But Nope! It was bad. I took a few bite and the rest went in the trash. I was very disappointed. This place looked promising.

My favorite Hispanic(Colombian) restaurant. I've been eating here for 10 years already. Everything here tastes amazing. I will admit there used be some inconsistencies when I ordered in the past, for example they would give me rice that would be hard or flavorless; but for the past 2 years I haven't found a problem. My favorite is the Entraña, the steak is very juicy, flavorful, and delicious. The Entraña steak is on my top ten steaks; in my opinion the Entraña steak tastes better than some of the expensive steaks I've eaten such as The Capital Grille steaks, A5 Wagyu, and dry aged steaks. The Entraña also comes with my favorite three sides which are fries, salad, and white rice. They have the best white rice, their white rice is very flavorful and delicious. I also get their chicharrones, their chicharrones are pretty good. Despite the chicharrones being good I can't eat more than one strip due to it either being too fatty or I just get tired of the porky flavor. I also think they have the best corn arepas, the corn arepas are crispy and delicious. Their desserts are good too. The tres leches is very delicious and milky, the idea tres leches. Their flan is also good. Definitely the best restaurant for Hispanic(Colombian) food.

The menu was misleading and I ended up paying almost $30 for Pandeja Paisa. It was not worth at all. I would never pay $ 30 for a basic pandeja paisa which had nothing special. Need to do a better job with menu and service explaining the options.

Mi restaurante colombiano preferido por su comida, ambiente y por supuesto la atención especialmente hoy de Anita y Roberto.

Popped in here for lunch last Saturday. The food is delicious! From the steaming bowls of soup - one chicken, one oxtail. Both came with white rice, fried plantains .... Nice and temperature warm. A whole fried snapper with rice, tostones, and salad. The lomo saltado with fries etc. for beverages we had soft drinks, a mango margarita and tinto de Verrano! Great atmosphere where people where stopping in from shopping, after work, meeting with friends and family. It's clean, and lively with friendly staff. If your Spanish is not good, u might struggle a bit but everyone is helpful. We even got a guava bread to go! Food is hearty, drinks are refreshing. So going back to try their breakfast!

Attention to clientele is selective . When someone chooses a restaurant to dine in they expect proper service and attention to the customer not have you waiting for service and then not even offering any extra services like desert, extra beverages at the end . A disappearing act for 20 plus min waiting for someone to come and check on us . Then expect a tip of 20 plus percent. This must be a trend . If expecting a gratuity then attend to your customers properly.

I love eating at this restaurant there food is great and the service is very good to great atmosphere you won't be disappointed and if you are you probably don't like home cooked Latin food.

Wow! Just what an amazing first time experience! The menu didn't have margaritas on it and after an all day class on a Saturday I really wanted one haha so was upset they did not serve them BUT the waiter came and asked what would we like to start with, and the waiter said margaritas... I was like YES! Margarita please! PLEASE They have regular, passionfruit, blackberry, and mango flavors. I got the regular, and my boyfriend got the passionfruit. We both loved our drinks. Delicious and... STRONG! By my second drink I was feeling real good :) As an appetizer we started with Patacón con Guacamole. We enjoyed it! For dinner........ I was just surprised how yummy the dishes were. So surprised! My boyfriend got the churrasco colombiano. So good even without the chimichurri sauce! I got the Fajitas los tres amigos. The flavor from just the fajitas alone! Fantastic! Delicious! We both were stealing each others food!!! I also dribbled some of his chimichurri sauce on my fajitas which made the even more yummy! It was so nice to have such an amazing meal, since lately I feel like everything is just good instead of great. This place blew me away, and I just realized there is one in Boca! AH! I can't wait to go to that location. Hopefully it is the same quality/taste! Can't wait to go back! You guys have to try this place at least one time!

Excelente atencion de parte de Roberto y la comida muy buena. me encantó el ambiente. -

Recomiendo este lugar, es uno de los mejores. Me encantó la comida y aprecié mucho el servicio. Roberto fue muy amable y con gran atencion.

The service is fantastic, and food is consistently amazing. Love coming here especially for their chicken empanadas

Que lugar para ridiculous! Y el manager para nada que pudo ayudar, y eso cuando ordenó el sancocho de res cada fin de semana. Very upset with this place since I've been here multiple times on Sunday evenings and order a steak sancocho and been so happy. However, I ordered take out today and it literally only had two pieces of steak. Also, management was NOT helpful at all, just asked if we could drive back for him to "verify" and didn't offer any solution or help.

when you order empanadas there they always give you the stale ones that have been sitting on their hot window for hours they dont make fresh ones when you place an order for them , you literally have to ask them to make it fresh and even then they will still lie to you sometimes and say it was freshky made when it was actually the stale ones that they give you, when the get stale its not edible

There's nothing like being told you are too poor to order the Churrasco. Today 10/31/2021 they told me it cost $17.

Absolutely horrible experiance!! We always go to another location in Plantation were food and Serviss is excellent every single time for last 3 years but for the first time decided to try this location. We were party of 5, our all steaks were overcooked! Tinto Verano did not taste right. Pina colada was over sweetened and truly not drinkable. I would give 0 stars if that would be an option.. Do NOT ever go there!!!

Good location Nice environment and customer service. The food was delicious and the server was very friendly and explained the menu well.

Fantastic food. The location on Sample is fun with live music on weekend nights. The beer is ice cold. The atmosphere is fun for a date or family night. The food is amazing. We tried four entrees and we were stuffed by the end because we couldn't stop eating. Go! It's a must for authentic Colombian food. Take your friends or family but bring your appetite

Food tasted great, affordable prices. Alejandra was patient with our very active kiddos.

Love this place! Great food and excellent service. I had the whole red snapper with salad, rice and tostones. It was fresh and well cooked. The rice was delicious and so were the tostones. They are very attentive and polite and the prices are very reasonable . I highly recommend this place!

LOVE! Anita has such great service!!! The bread is always fresh. We got hot chocolate bread and arepa with cheese. Everything was hot and absolutely delicious. Totally recommend:)

We love this place. The food always tastes fresh! The ambiance is lots of fun especially when they have live music. Our server Roberto is great and was very sweet. He made my daughter a chocolate shake and he approved. If you have not tried it here I highly recommend you try it for yourself. If you can ask for Roberto!!! Great guy and lots of fun.

Excellent food and service, family friendly ambient, kids will have lots of fun, drinks are also good.

Very authentic and delicious!! For a starter we had Chichiron... so good! Then we had the whole snapper, and an amazing soup dish as our entrees. We don't live in this area, but so glad we stopped here for our dinner.

Food was cold and soggy and was missing an arepa when I called in to the store I was called a liar and they could not help me I will never come back here again horrible service just go down the street to el colombiano way better food and service blows this place out of the water

Always love this place! The tostones with guac is great - really good fresh made guac! I miss the tilapia entree they used to have but the rice/beans/chimi is all so good! Order from here about once a month

If you want Florida's best Colombian food, look no further. We come here every time we are in Florida, regardless of how long the drive is! You can bet your bottom dollar that someone always orders the bandeja paisa, and usually soup. This time I decided to switch it up and get the carne aguacatala, and let me tell you-the smell not only is amazing, but the taste is mouthwatering and a total flavor party in your mouth. Not to mention, the Colombian sodas are a hit! I have never had a complaint here, and prices are definitely fair for the immense amount of food you get!

After having a rough day, we stopped in here for dinner (not knowing it was only 7 minutes until closing!). Fernando was extremely nice and accommodating. We were not able to eat in since it was so close to closing, which is understandable. But Fernando and his staff went out of their way to assure our food was amazing! I really appreciate restaurants that are welcoming, even though they were getting ready to close up. It really helped improve our evening.

esta mañana demoradisimo servicio y mala atencion, el desayuno no llego completo, algunas cosas incomibles,logicamente se pago completamente hasta la propina porque la mesera indico,,,,si jo quiere no la deje ,,,preferible comer en otro lado porque no hay gerencia.no hay a quien comentarle lo sudedido,, que lastima que un negocio tan iconico lo dejenn sin el. uen servicio que lo caracterizo hace años Bad bad very bad service, bad food, bad everything

Food is always great here. Never have any issues. I love the atmosphere and sitting outside is always a pleasure Inside can be cold sometimes for me. The empanadas and pan de bono are AMAZING!!!! Not sure why I never thought to leave a review as many times as I've frequented this restaurant. One of my favorites for sure.

Unfortunately, not a good experience. We were so looking for a good colombian meal at a place that has a good rating in Google & Yelp. We ordered two bandejas paisa and cold beer. The steak was hard to chew on, the beer was not cold at all and the arepa was cold and hard. The service was B at best, not rude nor good. We are not planning to go back and could not recommend it.

Wanted to order food to eat in tonight and came across El Balcon on the Delivery Dudes app. I had eaten here once before about 2 years ago and remembered that I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere in the restaurant. I decided to give it another shot. Tonight I ordered the Bandeja Pasa and the Cuban sandwich with fries. I ate half of my Cuban sandwich which was delicious. I would definitely order this again in the future. After that, I ate a little less than half of the Bandeja. This was my first time ordering this and I thought that most of it was very good. The rice and beans were tasty. The steak was moist and not too chewy. The plantains were excellent and the chicharron was super tasty. Unfortunately, the arepa was bland and actually kinda terrible. The avocado was simply just an avocado...I was expecting it to be seasoned or something...just a small disappointment. I also ordered a chorizo which I thought was just "ok". I've definitely had a lot better. Overall I'm very happy with the food and definitely recommend trying it. Next time I go, I'll try something different and definitely stay away from the arepa.

Amazing dishes...from their weekly lunch specials to their soups to the bandeja paisa. All of their food is fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

El mejor lugar con su deliciosa comida y el servicio y una atención personalizada del mejor Robertito 100% recomendable

This particular el Balcon de las America is very friendly and fun atmosphere. The food is good and decently priced. They have music on the weekends and is great

Excellent food but more than that the superb customer service received from Roberto. He made us feel like royalty. Thanks Roberto. Excelente comida pero más que eso el excelente servicio al cliente recibido de Roberto. Nos hizo sentir como la realeza. Gracias roberto

I've been coming to this location for several years and they never disappoint. The food is always cooked to perfection and the flavor is authentic. The prices are great weather your coming for lunch or you come a weekend evening for the live entertainment. A must if your looking for quality Columbian food.

I wish I can give them more than 4 stars but this location has been a hit or miss with some things, one being the salad portion. I usually get take out but one day I decided to eat at the restaurant with my kids and the serves was not the best. Over all food is great!!! I can only compare to the location with the one by sawgrass mall and I have to say that one was always outstanding. I felt at home there.

Me and my family love coming here, it's close to home and food always comes out to my expectations. Other than ordering this, I love having the Lomo Saltado, Fajitas, and the Churrasco Steak with Chimichurri. Great place to bring family and friends. Staff is amazing, food is amazing. Also don't forget to bring stuff home from the bakery!!!
