El Balcón de las Américas: Colombian Comfort Food on Sandalfoot Boulevard

El Balcón de las Américas runs a second South Florida location on Sandalfoot Boulevard in western Boca Raton, serving the same Colombian-rooted menu of platters, soups, and bakery items as its Glades Road counterpart in a neighborhood strip-plaza setting.

Bandeja Paisa and a Full Colombian Soup Menu

The bandeja paisa remains the centerpiece — rice, red beans, steak or ground beef, sweet plantains, fried pork belly, arepa, avocado, and a fried egg on one platter — alongside ajiaco, the classic shredded-chicken soup served with rice and plantains, and mondongo, the tripe soup finished with cilantro. Appetizers include chicharrón drizzled with guava sauce and golden creole potatoes, and patacón topped with guacamole and hogao, giving the menu the same breadth of Colombian comfort food found at the chain's other locations.

A Neighborhood Colombian Kitchen in Western Boca

Sitting in a Sandalfoot Boulevard strip plaza rather than a Glades Road lifestyle center, this location leans more heavily on a local, repeat clientele from the surrounding western Boca Raton neighborhoods. The kitchen still runs its own bakery counter, turning out empanadas and pandebono in-house, which keeps the sit-down platters and grab-and-go bakery items consistent across both locations.

Good to Know

El Balcón de las Américas is located at 9964 Sandalfoot Blvd, Boca Raton, FL 33428. For bandeja paisa and Colombian comfort food in western Boca, it's a neighborhood favorite.
