Amazing food, great atmosphere, very kind and friendly staff…. Overall just a great place to have some delicious caribbean food. Oh and the live music on the weekends is great fun as well. I honestly don’t have one negative thing to say but if I was asked for my opinion or a suggestion Id say t I wish they would stay open later on weekdays.

Love this place every time I go!!the owners are awesome!!

Food was great, had the Cuban sandwich ranks #2 out of all the places I've had one. The empanadas were great 2nd only to my wifes. All of our meals were great. We definitely will be going back. Residents of the RGV and Tourists GO SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! Service was great as well. This place was very clean and offers live music call or check site for dates. YUMMY YUMMY

My wife is Puerto Rican and had a craving for aroz con gandules. They don't serve this but did have aroz con griAnd it was delicious. We also had tostones and empanadas and venezuelan cheese sticks. We also asked for the tilapia from the menu to be steamed instead of fried. The food was not greesy or over seasond.... It was just right the waiter Dairon was extremely friendly and serviceable. our bill was about 40$ .. my overall review is it's Worth visiting again.I do wish they had one or two Puerto Rican and Dominican dishes. Because the valley doesn't have a place to find food from there. But understand the logistics of doing that may be tricky...My recommendation for newcomers is the tostones with Mayo ketchup and a flavor soda or Malta.Five stars all the way?❤️

Primera vez que fuimos y nos encantó!! Excelente servicio y comida!! Se los recomiendo.

I spent 2 months in McAllen for work. Balsero was next door. This quickly became my favorite place to eat. Food is amazing and they were so nice to me. Norberto would even cook things not on the menu when I asked. This is a Family business that makes you immediately feel like a member of their Family. I miss the ceviche! It's the best! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

As a Cuban having this place in town is a must go. Their food is delicious, and their service is very good.

First time here my family came to visit from Florida and we all loved the food no long wait either

Deliciosa comida. Una excelente opcion para probar algo diferente.

Loved my meal, usually the batter on fried shrimp lacks seasoning but that was not the case at this restaurant! Service was relatively quick and the waiter and waitress were both friendly. Only down side I would say was no free refills on the lemonade. Usually things aside from bottled drinks are free refills, that adds up quickly but we will be back.
