    The only thing disappointing about this place is I can never finish my burrito! They're HUGE but oh so very, VERY good!! Everytime we go it's a good experience!

    We will be trying the new Tacoma location soon! Food is wonderful, I did have a slight error with mine but these thing happen, even with the best. Service here operates a bit different so it's nice the staff is willing to chat with you about the menu and explain the process. Overall, great eats!

    Incredible tacos and pupusas! The porch is awesome when the weather is nice, and the service is amazing. Always worth the drive from Union.

    Unlike what looks like in other photos, this is a rather large and nice restaurant for a good sit down lunch/dinner right in the heart of downtown and walking distance to one of the best ferry terminal in the state. Food was great quality and everything was better than usual joints of same class. Lots of vegetarian options.

    The El Bacon burrito is fantastic. It's enough for 2 meals; or one if you're hungry. Excellent service and atmosphere. Mild or smokey salsa. Get takeout here for the ferry ride

    Very generous portions and plenty of seating indoors and out. While the taste was satisfying, it did not dazzle the taste buds enough to garner 5 stars. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    Food was amazing! Medium price point. 3 item combo is about $10-$15. Food was hot fresh and very delicious!

    I was wanting pupusas for a long time now and I got them from this place. I loved the spinach and cheese and bean and cheese. The pork and cheese was pretty good. I was looking forward to the pork with beans and cheese but they ran out. The chipotle steak was filling and I could only eat half of it. I’m glad that they didn’t run out of the horchata too. Will probably call them next time to make sure they have the other food on the menu before I go there.

    Great Salvadorian food! The pupusas and pastelitos are delicious! My favorite had to be the fried yucca and pork. I haven’t had some that tasty in such a long time.

    The food was fantastic. My friend and I got combo plates. The servings were huge! We should have gotten doggie bags, but enjoyed it too much. The service was a little slow, but understandable because it was prime lunch time. I will definitely go again.

    The woman that took my order was amazing. Customer service is probably one the absolute best I have experienced. The food was to die for. I got the A2 combo. Tacos were delicious and the chicken wasn't dry. The pupusa was awesome. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars, I would. This is an absolute must if you're in the area. I know that I will be returning here anytime I'm in town!

    El Balcon has always had amazing food. Now, it has amazing smash burgers options to add to your pupusa order!

    Just found this little gem today. First, the people who run it are super friendly! We had never tried Salvadorian food before. We had the traditional pupusa with a couple street tacos. Let’s just say that I will CRAVE those pupusa! It’s like a masa fritter that has bean and cheese on the inside that you top with pickled cabbage and a light tomato sauce. So delicious and perfect on a chilly day! I also had the steak street tacos. Delicious does not describe how good they were! The steak was so tender! The lady recommended which salsa to top it with and she was spot in! This is now our spot for street food! Can’t wait to go back!

    I just ordered the A2, which serves two generous tacos and one pupsa - fantastic! The customer service is professional and yet personable. Thank you for a beautiful dinner on my way home.

    I’ve been looking for straight forward classic tacos for so long. These are the most legitimate street tacos I’ve found in Bremerton. The people working there are kind, and helpful. From the meat to the rice and beans, this is the most authentic Mexican street food I’ve had in too long.

👍👍 Excellent little Greek food place on the corner of Callow and 6th. The food is fresh and I'm pretty sure they make the pitas to order. We got the super gyro (lamb and beef), chicken gyro, and Greek fries and absolutely would eat again. They even gave us Palestinian chocolate wafers with our order...
