    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.

    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.

    Everyone, except for Bruno, was quite rude. When we requested the table by the view, the hostess bluntly responded, “Take whatever I am giving you; that’s all we have,” despite the fact that we clearly saw another party leave that very spot. Even after it became available, she still refused to seat us there. Fortunately, Bruno was more accommodating and kindly helped us move to that table. However, it felt uncomfortable as the hostess continued to send other employees to walk by and glance at us repeatedly. Additionally, the food options were quite limited.

    Food is way too expensive, small portions are given. The view is sold to you, not the food in reality. 4oz steak costs 50 dollars.
    El Balcon del ZocaloResponded 1 day ago

That’s why we design a Mexican contemporary menu that changes every 15 days, ensuring we use the best ingredients available. This menu is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a complete and satisfying culinary experience, with each dish designed to balance flavors and offer a refined dining experience. We would love for you to have the opportunity to visit us again. Regards, Chef Pepe Salinas.
