Balcon Express runs out of a small corner spot on Sixth Avenue, serving Mexican and Salvadoran dishes in a tight space. Pupusas are the centerpiece — large, loaded with mozzarella — alongside the "putaco," a taco built inside a pupusa shell. A salsa bar rounds out the counter, and the pickled curtido has a following of its own, with regulars working through leftovers after the main plate is gone.
Portions run large, bachata plays over the room, and the counter staff have built a reputation for warmth. It's a small operation that has developed a steady local following.
