Spectacular view, great atmosphere! Ordered a rib eye and was brought out at wrong temperature. Server offered to remake it at no cost and item was removed from bill. Manager came to the table to make sure it was to our liking and brought us some dessert at no additional cost. Their customer service is top notch! They make some very good drinks. Looks like they just recently changed some menu items. We were hoping on getting some items that look tasty on the old menu.

Balcón del Zócalo offers an exceptional dining experience primarily defined by its unrivaled views of Mexico City's historic Zócalo, including the Metropolitan Cathedral and National Palace. Securing a balcony table, provides a truly spectacular backdrop. The cuisine is modern Mexican, characterized by creative interpretations of traditional dishes and a strong emphasis on high-quality ingredients. Plates are elegantly presented, reflecting a fine-dining approach without being overly formal. Service is consistently attentive and professional. The combination of the iconic location, refined cuisine, and polished service justifies the cost for a memorable occasion.

We did the tasting menu and wine pairing. Absolutely loved it, honestly one of the best meals we had while in Mexico. The service was amazing and the attention to detail was great. Highly recommend.

We had an incredible experience at Balcón. Here’s what we loved: - Phenomenal service: due to the teacher protest we were late for our reservation but they waited patiently for us to arrive; waitstaff was always helpful, quick to refill water/drinks and never skipped a beat with our questions about the menu. - drinks were unique and exceptionally tasty - views of Plaza de Constitutión and the buildings were incredible. - food was top notch! Our group chose to do the pick 3 option on the menu: Tirana ceviche, shrimp taco, filet taco, octopus, tlacoyo tacos, totoaba filet on mole, heirloom tomato salad, rib-eye, everything was absolutely delicious! - perfect portion-size - never felt rushed to finish an item - heaters were flanking our table which helped as the temperature cooled outside. Things I would change if we could: - our choices of clothing! We were right at the front of the balcony which was fantastic for the amazing views but it was quite windy. I would have worn nice pants and brought a thicker sweater. - prepare for a lot of traffic getting there especially if there is a protest going on (we had to walk the last few blocks due to road closures associated with the teachers’ protest).

We did a four course meal here, and every bite was delicious! For those who are more adventurous there are options like ant larvae!! I thought it was very tasty. The wine is also decent & they have lots of options. Not only is the food and service great, the views are spectacular! Definitely a must visit if you’re looking for a nice meal. Be wary of people outside pretending to take you to the restaurant. Ignore them and keep walking into the hotel. You’ll need to take the elevator up.

Food was good but we expected better, meals were not as warm as they should have been. Filet was by far the best, truffle mashed potatoes were gooey. Atmosphere is amazing, such a beautiful space with views of the square. We expected better for the price.

This is a rooftop restaurant located in the middle of Constitution Plaza, so you can see the great view of the square if you get the good seat. The service was good! They brought us a complimentary appetizer for us to try. The atmosphere was also ready nice. However, the wagyu flatbread I ordered was alright and a bit pricy. My total bill was $93 for 1 drink and 1 entree.

It's a restaurant with a spectacular view of the Zócalo, located on the top floor of the building, accessible by elevator. The food is very good, and the drinks are equally good. The cocktails are a bit pricey, and you should pay close attention to the bill because they add a $20 service charge that isn't mandatory. If you don't notice, they'll add it without explanation, and it doesn't count as a tip.

Not sure what the hype is here except for the views but we were not impressed at all. The shredded beef inside the chile was cold and the taste was off. I did ask the waiter if my chile was suppose to be served cold and he said yes because they don’t want us to burn our selves… ok sure bud. We left the entire dish and asked for check. Also gyoza dumplings served with mayonnaise? Not the best combinations.
