EL BALCON DE LAS AMERICAS III – Mexican
On West Sunrise Boulevard near Sawgrass Mills, this Colombian dining room trades as the Sawgrass location, though county licensing files it as El Balcón de las Américas III at a Plantation address, not the Miami Beach city recorded elsewhere. Mini empanadas arrive with lime and house ají, and bandeja paisa piles white rice, red beans, ground beef or grilled steak, crisped chicharrón, arepa, avocado and a fried egg onto one shared plate. Mondongo simmers with tripe and cilantro, chorizos artesanales come grilled beside fried yuca arepitas, sancocho rounds out the specials. Diners keep returning for attentive service and generous portions.
