    A typical hole-in-the-wall, a gem and true find. Super friendly service, cooked fresh with a smile. We had the breakfast tacos - generous portions (almost double the size from most places), cooked on-the-spot, delicious and real value. Check-out the daily breakfast specials. Support your local small business!

    When I went to pick My granddaughter up from Texas State for the Christmas break the first thing she wanted was a breakfast taco. She said that Lucy's was rated 5 stars but she had never been there. She pulled up directions and we headed to Lucy's . I will say when I pulled up and saw it was a food trailer parked outside an old convenient store I had my doubts. But nothing ventured nothing gained or in this case learned. We both got out look on the side of the Trailer and reviewed the breakfast menu. I had bacon ,egg and cheese on flour tortilla and Catfish( thats what I call my granddaughter since she has always been hard-headed) ordered sausage, egg and cheese on a flour tortilla and we got us aDr Pepper to go with them. The nice lady working told us she would let us know when 5hey were ready. We sat in my truck and waited. Took her less than 10 minutes to have us Our order. We choose the Green hot sauce to put on them. Everything was cooked after we ordered it. And there were two types of cheese scattered on them. There was so much filling that I couldn't close my taco. They were delicious. The bacon and eggs were cooked to perfection. The cheese was melting as I tried to eat it. Fantastic food at a reasonable price. As we sat there and ate our tacos there were several customers drop in and place orders and left with what I can only assume to be happiness in a bag. Will Definitely have to make this a regular stop over the next four years that Catfish is going to college here

    Made to order, delicious tacos. Tortillas are homemade. My favorite thing to get here are the brisket tacos. They changed my life. I remember where I was and what I was wearing the first time I tried the brisket taco. That good. Call ahead to save some time, because they are made to order.

    I was doing research on somewhere to go for a post Valentines Day date. Going out specifically on…read morethat day is a ridiculous waste of time and extra money to "manufacture romance". Silly. Anyway, I came across this place and the pictures of the food looked amazing. Oh I should probably warn you right now.... If you were raised on "Tex-Mex" or you're a Texas snowflake with thin skin, please skip this part of the review until the end of my rant. With that out of the way. * Incoming Rant * Why is it that 90%+ of Mexican food in Texas is utter garbage? If you do a search on Yelp and look at the pictures of what barely passes for "Mexican Food" it looks like dog food. Compare Garcia's food and presentation to Balcón and let me know which you prefer. I mean seriously, most of the restaurants serve food that looks like it came from a 1980's microwave TV dinner! So many places use that weird yellow generic government cheese, the refried beans look like they came from a WWII can and almost everything is unseasoned ground beef! The closest I can usually find is cubed beef. Have you guys never heard of shredded beef? Depending on where you go they MIGHT shred the beef and use it in birria tacos. Here's a thought. Use it in OTHER things! Shredded beef enchiladas, tortas, chimichangas, burritos and for goodness sakes, USE SEASONING! In the past people traveled around the world solely for herbs and spices but for some reason restaurants in Texas hate using them. One more thing and I'm done. Look at the presentation of the dishes here. The food LOOKS GOOD! The food looks colorful, vibrant and tasty. Not like it was cobbled together by a cowboy on a ranch in the 1800s. See how they make use of Queso Fresco, radishes, guacamole, cabbage and other things to bring life to the dishes. I've been to places in Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California and they GET IT. Make food delicious and good looking and the people will come and come back. *sigh* ok, I'm done... * End of Rant * Now back to our regularly scheduled review... We ordered the Ensenada Fish Tacos, Carne Asada Fries, and the Surf & Turf Quesadilla. All 3 dishes were excellent! The fish was beer battered and not the Gorton's frozen fish sticks that I've found in many restaurants in the Mid-West. Disgusting. Also, it was a massive portion of fish which was probably the largest I've seen in a fish taco in a long time. The asada fries were amazing. Not only is that a hard to find dish in Texas they also used the really good crispy fries that are actually edible the next day. Most places use the cheap generic square fries (think fries that are usually sold with hot dogs or hamburgers at a carnival) that taste terrible the next day. Usually you'll eat everything but the fries if you have leftovers, but not here. Balcón went for the good seasoned fries. The quesadilla was really good too. Perfectly cooked shrimp and juicy carne asada. The one gripe I did have was the white and black checkerboard paper that was used under the food. That started to disintegrate very quickly and as I was cutting into my food I kept having to pull it out of the food. Small complaint and easily forgivable. I'm not a person who's worried much about ambiance. As long as someone isn't trying to stab me while I eat or the restaurant is located next to an outhouse I'm good. But seriously it's a cool place. I like the indoor/outdoor vibe with the two open garage doors. We ate on the inside next to the door which was really nice. Overall, it was a great experience. I pray that more restaurants follow Balcón and put emphasis on presentation, not using microwave grade food, all while doing it at a reasonable price. We will definitely be coming back, as we need to try more of the menu. I tip my hat to you owner of Balcón. You definitely stand out in a sea of bland, generic "Tex Mex" restaurants.

Showing up around 7pm on a Wednesday evening, I had my choice of seats, ranging from the bar, indoor, and outdoor. Typically, when dining alone, I head for the bar to save tables for groups. But fortunately they weren't very busy so I didn't feel bad taking one of the smaller tables. My server recommended their margheritas but I didn't want to drink alone haha..I would love to try it next time though! I started with the salsa sampler which came with tortilla chips and three different house made salsas. I couldn't stop eating it! I kept seeing reviews of the fish tacos and heard another table ordering it, so I decided to get that as well. The pico de gallo, aioli, and pickled onions in the description just got me. Admittedly, it was just ok. I was not a big fan of the fish tacos but to be truthful, I can't recall when I last had an amazing fish tacos. I probably should have just gotten the carne asada plate that I was initially eying. This just means I have to go back. I'm not in Texas often, but despite there being so many options and new places to try, I look forward to the opportunity to return to Balcon Comedor Y Bar.

San Martians have incredible gem here. We had the breakfast barbacoa and pork chop plates plus a lengua taco. First, the lengua taco came out on warm corn tortillas, and the lemgua was tender and in sliced bite siced chunks. By itself, it was pretty good - with ANY of their salsas, even better. The wife had the barbacoa taco plate: barbacoa was all meat, great tasting but not greasy. I had the pork chop plate and I i must say, it's one of the most flavorful and juicy pork chops I've had. Both the barbacoa and pork chop plate came with delicious refreid beans that had tons of flavor. The other side that came with the plates were potatoes. Therese were freshly made, soft and pillowy and nicely seasoned. You know how you know your food is os perfect? When you dont have to add salt or pepper and here, this was the case here. And let's not skip over their homemade salsa. There's at least 8 homemade salsas of varying flavors and heat level. All are outstanding and you should try them all. Even their hottest ones have so much flavor you'll want more even though your mouth may be on fire. Heat and flavor - they've perfected each and every one of their salsas. Super impressed with todays breakfast as we'd been longong for some great Mexican breakfast plates. Wont be traveling to San Antonio for breakfast anymore - thanks for saving us a trip Toma Taco!

I was surprised at the heft of that beautiful pancake, this was more than I expected. 13.24 barbacoa plate had a decent scoop of meat--good flavor, not excessively greasy. Beans, potatoes, eggs, and a tortilla of my choice were all pleasing. Paid 50c to add avocado. Description on Yelp menu said the eggs would be scrambled but the picture showed fried. I wasn't given an option how I wanted my eggs, and was happy as a clam when they showed up over easy. Yelp routed the order through Grubhub and it showed up correct and on time. They included two shots each of butter, pancake syrup, hot sauce, and two packs of flatware without my requesting anything. Either of these are a great start to the day; we will be back.
