    La comida no es tan buena y es cara, además de que no hay variedad, ya que es consumir los 4 platillos del menú de 4 tiempos o los 4 platillos individuales de la carta o el menú de degustación, eso es todo.
    El Balcon del ZocaloResponded 2 days ago
    Estimada, Elizabeth, muchas gracias por su comentario. Para Balcón del Zócalo, lo más importante es brindarles una gran experiencia gastronómica a todos nuestros clientes. Por ello, diseñamos una propuesta de menú de cocina de autor mexicana que cambia cada 15 días para tener el compromiso de tener los mejores productos. Este menú está cuidadosamente diseñado para ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica completa y satisfactoria, con cada plato elaborado para equilibrar sabores y ofrecer una experiencia culinaria refinada. Nos encantaría que nos dieran la oportunidad de visitarnos nuevamente. Saludos, Chef Pepe Salinas.
