Review El Balconcito - Philadelphia

Eric P

We went a couple weeks ago. The service was very friendly but slow. The restaurant was very unassuming. Looked like it was an old take out pizza place that they made into their own. Could use a sprucing up. The food was on the pricey side but it was plentiful and tasty. We really enjoyed the ceviche and octopus salad! The salt cod fritters where stuffed fill of fish! I got a whole grilled fish simply prepared. We order a bunch of dishes and again everything was tasty except for the mashed potatoes (pure de papas). They are serving boxed (powdered) mashed pots, why? Everything else was tasty but the take a shortcut with potatoes? We would go again if we are in the area.

Good place for peruvian food. Music is loud at night, so it's not really good for conversations. Food was tasty and service was good too. I recommend it.

Small, quaint, nice spot with a great and knowledgeable staff. The food is extraordinary and made with a lot of care, especially off the Peruvian menu.

Many times have I driven pass this establishment and this one time I decided to patronize this business. When you enter from the main entrance there is a small ramp of a hallway you must walk down into the dining area. The place is small in the inside, there are tables to dine at and a bar, nicely stocked. Waitress were very nice and friendly. My tostones could of used some salt on them when they came out the oil. They were also smashed bigger than what I am use to. I had a pork chop and wasn't sure if they were going to put flour on it or not before frying. It was floured and pretty good. The yellow rice was missing something...maybe a little more seasoning in the rice. The drinks were well made, nothing missing there.

I'm very disappointed because you don't have a location near ATLANTIC CITY NJ. Other than that, everything is great. This is my 3rd time visiting the place. Portions are BIG. Even for the kids, I will visit again.

Very good. I got there at the perfect time. And it wasn't busy. But soon after it filled up quick. Limited seating
