El Balcon de las Americas Latin Food - Sawgrass

A nice, very casual colombian restaurant with all the flair and flavors of that Latin country, very close to Sawgrass Mall. They serve homemade, from scratch food, with a Daily Special at fair prices. I LOVE the empanadas, made of cornmeal and filled with ground meat. The soups are almost a meal. The Ajiaco, a chicken and potato soup, is a wonderful comfort food. Generous servings and good service.

This Colombian themed restaurant was extremely busy had to wait 20 minutes to get in but it was well worth it the food was very good and service was very attentive the young woman that waited on us was very helpful and informative with explaining all the many available selections on the menu and the prices were moderate and very reasonable..
I would definitely go back here again.

Food here is usually very good, but for the last 2 times I've been here the food has felt that it's not fresh. Not sure if this is just the times that I come into the restaurant at, but if this is the case, try to stay away from tonight. The desserts are good and the selection is wide and very varied by region. Would recommend, but stay on the lookout for the quality of the food compared to the price you are paying for it.

This place is small but don't be fooled because what they lack in space they overcompensate in bold flavors and excellent service! This place serves typical Colombian cuisine and baked goods but you also have a few Argentine, American, and Cuban picks from the menu. You will find typical fruit juices and beverages, candies and treats, and popular dishes like bandeja paisa.

They also have live musicians, not a big deal, but they play old school Spanish Colombian classics that my parents and grandparents love. It makes the experience very pleasant. It is also very clean and even though it was packed when I went, the service was efficient and impeccable.

I am Colombian and I don't particularly like Colombian restaurants as the food they serve does not taste like the one I am used to from home, but this one has definitely exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend to any nationality and palate.

Excellent Colombian food. Small place but the place is usually packed. A lot of Colombian specialty dishes. There is also a bakery for you to pick something up on the way out. During lunch time you can expect a 15-20 wait time making it a less ideal lunch venue if you have to run back to work. I would recommend this place for dinner or weekends.
