Well, we went in hoping for a good night in a delicious dinner. We have been coming here for many years.And never had any issues, but we're seriously disappointed as we were served raw chicken and got sick. Spent the last hour throwing up.I wouldn't trust the food from this place.Manager was not on site at the time to assist. The server was super nice at understanding, but this is just unacceptable.

Great food and service. Trying something new. Breakfast Time! Buñuelos and pan de bono.

Wow. I mean, just wow. Had fam members sick so went off in search of chicken soup. El Balcon had a choice of several soups and (thanks to fellow Yelpers) rave reviews for their shredded chicken soup. We picked up three types of soup and several other dishes for takeout and were blown away by the portions, quality and taste. Shout out as well to the friendly staff who greeted us immediately when we walked in the door. We will definitely be back!

Lechon assado

The service is always on point. Delicious food made with lots of love. The Lechon assado was very flavorful and tender. My wife had the Chicken and rice. The chicken was juicy and full of delicious flavors. Lots of food to take home.

I truly can't believe this was my first time visiting El Balcón de las America. I was surprised because in all honesty, it was an amazing experience. The food is exquisite. It is magnificently prepared with 100% authenticity. A true and honest representation of true Colombian cuisine. The ambience too will surprise you. I felt transported back to vacation days in Medellin, for the sounds, the accents, the music, and the decor work in such accord that you can't help but feel like you are truly there. The service too is impeccable. The moment you walk in they welcome you with that typical Paisa friendliness and you can't help but feel like you're back in La tierrita. But the star of the show is the food. I ordered La Bandeja Paisa and was immediately reminded of all those great experiences I've enjoyed in Colombia. This was my first time there, but it will certainly not be my last. I highly recommend it.

I've never been to El balcon de las americas in Margate and have only visited the Pembroke Pines location so I was excited! It was a great little location that felt home-y inside! It was a Saturday night and it turns out they have live music on the patio every Saturday which was an unexpected surprise as well. I also never ordered the Bandeja Paisa before and after seeing it every-time I go I finally took the dive to do it. I was surprised by how quickly from when I placed the order to when my food was served. The "paisa" platter has white rice, red beans on the side, flat steak, plantains, pork belly, arepa, avocado and a fried egg, and sausage. I loved how delicious the flat steak was! It was cooked perfectly and so thin you can break it apart without a knife. The red beans were also extremely flavorful and complemented the meal very well. The pork belly was also a big hit because it was cooked well and really included a huge piece! I cannot wait to go back because of how delicious the food is here! It's cooked to order, always fresh, and everything on the menu is delicious to the point it's hard to choose what to get next. It also has an awesome breakfast menu so if you want breakfast, El Balcon is definitely a great option. I will say, that the platter is very large so you better bring an appetite if you think you can eat the entire thing in one sitting!

The 4 stars were because the food was good, portions were large, and prices okay. However, there were a number of minor problems -- it took quite awhile to order, there was a bit of a language problem (we speak Spanish luckily), the kitchen was very very slow, other people got their food way before us, and they never checked on us or came to take our payment so we got up to pay at the counter (after they'd collected at the table two other people's checks and credit cards). We came here for lunch. When we got inside only a few tables were occupied. I was surprised how many people came to eat a late lunch after us. One server could not easily tell us the daily special in English , but I read it (in Spanish) on the piece of paper he'd had in his pocket and understood it. They have a large menu including sandwiches and special soups. My husband ordered their arroz con pollo. It came looking like mofongo - - a large mountain of yellow rice mixed together with pieces of chicken and veggies. It was served with some salad and French fries on the side. The portion was huge and he wound up taking half home. It was good, although the chicken was a tad dry. It would have benefited from some kind of sauce. I order their grilled trout. I requested salad instead of rice. It also came with "green plantains" (their wording for tostones) on the side. The trout was very good as was the salad. The tostones were crunchy. This isn't fast food by any means, but if you have the time and the patience, you'll get a good Latin lunch here.

This is not a Fast Food Restaurant by any sense... your patience will however, be rewarded with some good authentic Colombian dishes. I had the Arroz con Pollo with salad and fries. Lots of tender chunks of chicken throughout my planter sized mound of flavorful yellow rice. There was enough for three meals!

La Casa de Peinado is a new Colombian restaurant located in 441, between Sample Rd. And Coconut…read moreCreek. I have been told this is their second location. The venue is spacious and recently decorated with modern tiles and a few LCD TVs on the walls. They are usually playing old school colombia music. Menu is varied, with a lot of the expected Colombian dishes. The service has been pretty good on the few times we have visited. The food is pretty good and the prices are excellent! A bandeja paisa (meat, chicharon, sausage, egg, rice and beans) for $9.99 is an unbeatable deal! The portions are large, and at the end of your meal they give you a free scoop of ice cream! I don't know if they plan to keep that up, but it definitely puts a smile on my face! This is a great place to eat if you live or work in the area. Great food at unbeatable prices. I will be coming back for sure.

The two are not related at all but you could still see the prior restaurant on the Yelp app. I was very happy with my food and service then and I thought it was a shame I was not able to share it. But when we came this time around I made it a point to add to business . This time around the service was not as good, but everything else was great. We came in and there is only have a few tables and a whole lot of space which is a waste. I think they could add a few more tables to accommodate guests. There were four of us and we had to bring two tables together, they did not even offer to come and help with this, which I thought was a little dismissive. A girl came after five minutes or so to take in our drink order she was a little shy and didn't speak much which led me to believe that she is new, she was by no means rude, she came a couple of times to ask if everything was fine. She just needs a little more experience which I am sure she will get. Because it was four of us we ordered a meat platter for four people which is $40 and comes with an assorted of pork, beef, chicken, chorizo, morcilla potatoes and tostones. I also got a green salad. This is A LOT of food, even for 4 people. We ended up taking a lot of it home. The salad was also great. Lots of avocado and tomatoes. Prices are unbelievable, and the food tastes great and both times I have been here at the end of the meal they bring us a small cup with ice cream on the house, Which is great! it is the perfect amount not too little or not too much just something to sweeten up the pallet after all that Latin goodness. Their cafe con leche is also great. All in all, this a great place to come and have a casual lunch, it isn't high-end but it's better than a hole on the wall. Service is a hit or miss depending on who your waitress is, but it is adequate. Their food is very inexpensive and tasty and that is what matters most. This one is going on my Colombian regular spots.
