El Balcon De Las Americas Latin Food Sawgrass

This restaurant was just okay. We ordered a few dishes: the tostones with guacamole were overcooked and bland, so I’d rate them 0/10. The meat empanadas were a bit healthier than I prefer, earning a 6/10. I had the bandeja paisa, which was huge—definitely meant for sharing—and I’d give it a 7/10. The atmosphere was quite full, loud, and very humid. As for the service, I’d rate it 2/5; we constantly had to look for our waitress, who seemed overwhelmed—though I understand that can happen. Personally, I’ve had better experiences at other Colombian restaurants. Also, just a heads-up: there’s an 18% gratuity automatically added to all bills over $60. I usually tip 20%, but given the service and food we experienced, I didn’t appreciate this added charge.

My sister and her friend have always raved about this restaurant, so I finally got the chance to check it out. I ordered the Calentado paisa and a mango juice, and everything was fantastic. Each bite of the food was bursting with flavor, and the drink was refreshing on a hot Florida day. Will I be back? Absolutely!

This is one of the most genuine and delicious Colombian restaurants in Broward. My waiter, Lonnie, was exceptional. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to try new and diverse flavors.

The food was absolutely delicious! I give these 4 stars and not 5 just because the pig had no taste at all, but the Fajitas were fantastic! It is a small, not beautiful place and very authentic. If you want some delicious Cuban food, I would definitely recommend to come here and the serving size was also great.

Catalina served with a smile and recommended the daily special which included Rice, veggies, fried yuca and a breaded pork steak. Make sure to check her out!
