    Good food, drinks and server...will definitely come back! NB: They didn't have my Open Table reservation (on the one night I forgot my phone), but fortunately a table was available. If you need a reservation, I'd call just to be on the safe side.

    Balcon has a lovely location atop a new building on the south side of San Marcos. We had a reservation, and was promptly seated. Food was delicious, and cocktails were delicious. Our server was attentive to allow our conversation to happen. We were upset that our table was set that we were fighting the setting sun for the 2 hours we were there, despite reservations 3 weeks in advance. The ambience made a reunion with conversation difficult, but if the doors had been open to the air and the balcony open (102 degrees outside) it would have been better. I would return again.

    This is a very nice upscale restaurant. Not your typical Mexican restaurant. Food was fresh and delicious. Had the surf and turf quesadilla. Excelent.

    We love this place. The food preparation is consistent; the chefs have really settled into a groove. The menu is not Tex-Mex but more like central Mexico or Baja, and the prices are reasonable. On Friday night, they were slammed by Texas State University summer commencement celebrations but it was nice to see graduates celebrate together with their parents. The staff did a good job of handling large groups. It was my wife's birthday, so we just partied with the rest of them.
