I really enjoyed my meal here and liked the fun feel of the place. I had the Steak Diablo and my wife had a salad, both were excellent. The beer selection is not huge, but is well chosen. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.

This place has awesome margaritas - mango margs being my personal favorite! The guac is one of the best. They have an awesome patio in the front and great customer service! I definitely recommend this place.

Really good tacos, especially the Mahi and Steak. Best part is the patio

We came here for brunch and we're disappointed. This place is very simple food but is too pricey! Their portions are not worth the value you pay. I came with a group of friends and none of us had a great experience. Our waitress was busy, the room was semi-crowded, but the food lacked flavor and taste. I don't think we will be back, it wasn't worth what we paid for. I paid $13 for a bowl that was basically just beans, potatoes, and 2 eggs. We all spent around $13-$20, for an entree and a drink.

Had great food and a fun and upbeat environment. The waiters are nice. The chips and guac are good, and the tacos!

Food so yummy. Not just your average taco joint. Great options and the drinks, YUMMMMM

Amazing food. Almost perfect service, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. I would return.

Two stars only because I love the food. It's amazing. Margaritas are also great and I was excited to see they expanded their selection. Minus three stars because holy cow management and service are TERRIBLE. I have been going to Balboa since the restaurant's opening and have consistently experienced sub par service. Last night, however, was the worst: two friends and I waited for 45 minutes before getting to place our order. We were unabashedly ignored by our waiter who had spoken to us but once. He was obviously busy, and it's clear the manager had not staffed the place well because even the hostess was serving, clearing, and taking orders. I had to approach her before finally the bartender kindly took our order and brought us our food VERY quickly. He comped our drinks and discounted our meals, but honestly I am so disappointed and as much as I love the street corn and tacos, I'm not sure if I will be back.
