El Balcon

Papusas and Tortas! incredible. I’ve had a lot of Salvadoran food in Seattle and this remains the best quality and best value. They’re very kind, and the flavors are incredible. I took my spouse a while ago for their first experience and they loved it! 10/10

Delicious quesadilla served fast in a small cafe. You can order outside.

Food was amazing! It’s a little hole in the wall food place. We stopped for a quick meal and were so incredibly happy with our choice. The pupusa took me back to being in El Salvador. And the chicken bowl, the chicken was so tender! And the rice and beans were so flavorful. Finally the chips and salsa we just couldn’t get enough! The staff was so nice and friendly and very quick in getting our order together as well. This is going on the list to be visited again when we are back! :)

We stopped in here with some close friends after attending a show at the Roxy Theater. Cat was our server and she was fantastic. She is funny, professional, and just plain on it. We thoroughly enjoyed interacting with her and she was super attentive. Additionally, all staff were highly professional. This place is well managed, the food is delicious and the portions are great. Note that our three drinks made up half of our ticket but we had a blast at El Balcon so it was worth the cost.

I was impressed from the moment I took my first bite of my Balcon Burrito. I love anything pickled and the curtido was amazing. The music was somewhat loud, but festive and fun. Great, kind service. And although Google makes it sound like it’s only walk-up, there are two picnic tables inside. Yes, it is crammed.
