Went to Balsas Mexican Restaurant tonight, weather was very iffy and wanted to get outdoor covered seating. Our server was very friendly and checked on us frequently. We ordered a pitcher of their house margarita, cheese dip with jalapeños which was very good. I ordered the mini changas and my husband ordered Diabla steak and shrimp. All food was very good. We did get plenty of sunshine and was able to watch the playoffs outside! Just a fyi they do charge a extra alcohol tax and a charge if you use a credit card, we were charged approximately $3.00 more for using a credit card.

I been driving by this place and been meaning to stop by and I finally got a chance to. I came in on Saturday during lunch time and there wasn't many people yet. Parking can be limited as it's right off the road next to HWY 9. The outside of the restaurant looks like a house and not much. I always love trying these hole in the wall places Lower cars beware as there is a nice dip from the roadway to the parking lot that could cause you to bottom out underneath. Lol. Thank god, I came in my suv and not my sports car!! We were seated right away by our friendly waitress in a booth of our choosing. I picked Fiesta Calamari as our appetizer. Of course the place had complementary amazing salsa and chips. The fiesta calamari was amazing. It had a spicy sweet mayo sauce to it with pineapple, onions, green pepper, cilantro, lemons, already inside of it. The portion was a generous size as well. $10 well worth it! For the main course, I ordered the Balsa Steak with rice, beans, salad, and veggies. The steak was cooked to perfection and super tender. I loved the rice as well. My date had the shrimp fajitas tacos that looked and tasted super amazing. Service was great here and food was awesome. I will definitely be back again and recommend this small mexican restaurant if your in the area. Bathrooms was super clean too. Lol.
