El Balcón de las Américas - Coral Springs — Restaurant in Margate

Wow! Just what an amazing first time experience! The menu didn't have margaritas on it and after an all day class on a Saturday I really wanted one haha so was upset they did not serve them BUT the waiter came and asked what would we like to start with, and the waiter said margaritas... I was like YES! Margarita please! PLEASE

They have regular, passionfruit, blackberry, and mango flavors. I got the regular, and my boyfriend got the passionfruit. We both loved our drinks. Delicious and... STRONG! By my second drink I was feeling real good :)

As an appetizer we started with Patacón con Guacamole. We enjoyed it!

For dinner........ I was just surprised how yummy the dishes were. So surprised! My boyfriend got the churrasco colombiano. So good even without the chimichurri sauce! I got the Fajitas los tres amigos. The flavor from just the fajitas alone! Fantastic! Delicious! We both were stealing each others food!!! I also dribbled some of his chimichurri sauce on my fajitas which made the even more yummy!

It was so nice to have such an amazing meal, since lately I feel like everything is just good instead of great. This place blew me away, and I just realized there is one in Boca! AH! I can't wait to go to that location. Hopefully it is the same quality/taste!

Can't wait to go back! You guys have to try this place at...

Great-tasting food & large portions! It's as pricey as a Bonefish Grill, but you get 1.75x more food - TOTALLY worth it. My meal was seasoned perfectly and lasted me for 2 meals!

Another Coral Springs staple, right under my nose! My second time eating there was even better than the first. My family and I definitely felt welcome and I was glad to see a diverse group of customers come through.

COVID-19 Outside patio dining is available (with fans and shade). I like the digital menu implementation - visuals (& descriptions) for every meal, especially if you're not Spanish. =)

Back to the food.. did I mention their BAKERY!? I didn't have a pastry on this trip, but I did try the guava pastries the last time I visited & they're delish! The variety is much appreciated - an added bonus to this restaurant.

The main meal (pictured) was their Carne Asada. I could taste that it was wood-grilled and it was surprisingly not too dry. Kudos to the chef! I eventually asked for some chimichurri on the side for that extra kick.

One more review - their juices! For just $4, they have a wide variety of juices, not sure if they're freshly squeezed, but they're amazing. I tried passion fruit (my favorite) and mango (also good). They even have sour sop juice!

Great food variety, great service. I'll be back! - Another...

Update 2024: Have been coming for the last 7 years and am happy that they have been consistent in their food quality and experience.

Always a pleasure to come in for weekend breakfast. Outdoor seating is a favorite of the location and is pet friendly. It is covered so no worries about baking outside during summer with multiple fans set out. During cooler days they also have heaters. Magically, they have very little mosquitos which makes year round outdoor dining a pleasure.

We normally have Nahomy as our waitress on weekends. From the moment you walk in you'll have a cheerful greeting that makes you feel welcomed. She is always knowledgeable about the menu updates and provides new recommendations to try.

Favorites on the menu include the whole fried fish, the steaks (picanha, churrasco, strip etc.), breaded pork & chicken cutlets, weekend specialty soups, and the bandeja paisa. The Cuban sandwich is great choice as well.

They recently added a happy hour and an expanded drink menu. Will be a pleasant addition to spending afternoons on their outdoor,...
