El Balcón del Marisco in San Jose

The place is nice. The service is good, the food was alright but was plenty.

Good food for a good price. They have something call "Bocas" this is a smaller dish for regular hunger. The normal dishes are quite big specially for a kid.

I like it but portions could be bigger.

It was highly recommended by a local. Apparently the octopus and shrimp are good and reasonably priced. I had the chifrijo, my local friends favorite dish.And, they were open late on a Monday!

Fresh and tasty. Very busy but flawless service.

Certainly the FASTEST place in Costa Rica to get food, from all the times ive gone there, my order always gets to the table in no more than 5 minutes without sacrificing freshness and quality of your seafood.Prices are fair since amount of food served is equivalent to what you are paying for.The picture I am uploading is becuase out of all the deserts, that 3 Milks Cake WAS OUTSTANDING!! (cheese cake was not that good though)

Great customer service (I asked to hold some ingredients in my order and they did. Food is delicious and copious (dont drink much or you not make it). Even "bocas" are big. Sanitary measures are good.

Excellent seafood. Quick service

Love it!!...the food is great. The price is perfect... nice place to enjoy with your family. You must visit this place. Parking is available

One of the best restaurants I’ve tried in San Jose. The ceviche is amazing! I ordered two! The pescado sin espinas is also delicious! Don’t forget to try the chilera that the serve on the side. Have returned and will continue. Thanks for the delicious dinners!

Great seafood. I like the bocas menú.

Good service, the food was very good too.

Great service and very good food. Definitely would recommend this place

Not my favorite seafood in the city to be honest

Really good place with tasty food, the people is very kind

Very good seafood restaurant tico style. Went with my son and had great time the fish was very fresh and fried to a nice crisp. Delicious yum yum

It is a very family and cosy place, perfect for enjoy tasty plates with friends. It is a very popular place so usually it is very crowded thats why they take a while to get served your food. It is a little expensive but its dishes are definitely worthy to eat

Efficient service, great food at most excellent prices. Family atmosphere. Fried shrimps is a must.

Consistently fresh seafood. Good service.. excellent ceviche

Great food, fast service.

Food has kept its quality for years. Great service, very friendly

Really good and cheap food!

Todays food was delicious.

Excellent food, great ambiance.

The best price for quality that you can find in the east of San Jose. Good for going out for a drink also.

Good for costa rica seafood, similar princessa marina

Great food great service

Average food at premium prices. I had the breaded fish fillet, which should be a staple of any seafood restaurant, and the fish was low quality on an average breading. Drinks were ok, and the shrimp rice was also average. However, the prices were at least 20% higher than other seafood locations with even better food. Id recommend trying something else.

First time at this establishment. We got there about eleven at night and it was open for business. We found food to be extra fresh. Great selection of seafood. They also serve alcohol as well fresh fruit drinks and soda pop. Help is attentive. And there is parking in the rear of the restuarant.

No bad... They are trying to do it well.

Good food and very good service to top it off. Visited this restaurant a few times and it has been a good experience every time. A must visit restaurant for sea food.

Cheap, fast and good food!

One of the better seafood restaurants in San Josè. The price is good and the quality is delicious.

A classic for the seafood lovers, this is a great place for fried fish, seafood soup and everything in between. Ceviches are spectacular and portions are quite generous. Get there a bit early because it does get packed up quickly most days. Parking is not great but it could be worse!

Amazing sea food experience, and I was surprised on how cheap, comparing to other sea food places.

Great little neighborhood fish house with the futbol game on and great service. I had the cream of shrimp soup, excellent. My wifes fish was very fresh, cooked perfectly flakey and came with real (not boxedmash potatoes and slaw. She loved it. Keep up the good work.

If youre not looking for a fancy seafood place, this is a great restaurant with very good food, excellent service (food is served very fast), enough parking places and good prices. Recommended

Missing the good days on that place. Its not the same taste like 5 years ago.

Good food and service, prices were OK, but actually you can taste that it is fresh high quality sea food. In the down side, place was crowded and the tables are too close one to another, this make the place noisy and somehow uncomfortable

Good quality, fast service, reasonable cost , very crowded parking lot, overall highly recommended

Good seafood, always fresh but a bit greasy

Super nice place; great food and excellent attention!!! I love it!

Great food. El ceviche is the best!

Quaint place with OK food. Nice prices.

Fast, cheap, and great seafood!Try the breaded shrimps :)

Excellent food and familiar atmosphere. The only problem was the attitude of one waiter and the bad illumination in our section

Good food, quick service. Reasonable prices.

Great place for sea food. Price is very good not too expensive.

Small parking lot but with very delicious food. 👌

The food is good, a lot of variety of dishes, the prices are right, not too cheap or expensive, not excellent though, there are some dishes that they are lack of flavor or used not very fresh ingredients based on experience. There is a parking space inside just before the restaurant, its crowded most of the time and the customer is good but varies by each waiter. They accept most popular credit cards like AMEX, MC and Visa.
