    El Balcón del zocalo no vale la pena , comida muy básica para el lugar, además es el típico restaurante turístico, no lo recomiendo y no volvería

Por ello, diseñamos una propuesta de menú de cocina de autor mexicana que cambia cada 15 días para tener el compromiso de tener los mejores productos. Este menú está cuidadosamente diseñado para ofrecer una experiencia gastronómica completa y satisfactoria, con cada plato elaborado para equilibrar sabores y ofrecer una experiencia culinaria refinada.
