Balam is such a great spot! The food tastes super fresh & authentic. the pescado & guac were amazing. The vibe is cozy & chill, & the staff were really friendly & welcoming. Honestly felt like a place you just want to come back to again & again. Definitely recommend if you're craving good Mexican food! 🌮

Probably the best ceviche I've ever eaten...Wow!!! Not sure of the name but it had Mango in it....WOW SUPER FRESH.

A must try!!

Food is excellent 👌🏾

On my return visit different outcome! We were over charged & the waitress made mention of the old menu??? Again BEST ceviche I've ever had but the service really disappointed the guests I brought & myself as well. Will I return we'll see...

I recently dined at Balam in Royalmount for their Valentine's Day fixed menu, & it was an exceptional experience. As it was my first time eating in the new shopping center, I was excited to try something new, & Balam did not disappoint.

In depth review:

The ambiance struck a perfect balance between cozy & modern, with soft lighting & earthy tones creating a warm & inviting vibe-ideal for a romantic evening.

The meal began with a simple but fresh guacamole, served with crispy tortilla chips, followed by the Ceviche Tulum Campechano. The octopus, shrimp, & branzino were fresh & beautifully balanced with a tangy citrus marinade-a highlight of the evening. The Tuna Tataki was another standout, with tender tuna, a sweet-salty ponzu sauce, & a refreshing mix of cucumber, mango, & coriander that played wonderfully together.

For the shared entree, the Grilled Octopus was perfectly smoky & tender, paired with creamy corn purée & zesty salsa verde. The 28 Days Aged Beef Striploin was cooked to perfection, with creamy potato purée, bone marrow, & a rich red wine reduction that made it a truly indulgent dish.

To end, we enjoyed an assortment of mini desserts-a sweet & fun way to finish off the meal.

The service was top-notch-attentive, friendly, & well-paced. Overall, my first experience at Balam was a memorable one, & I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a beautifully executed, flavorful meal in Royalmount.

Nice restaurant, clean decor, & good selection of tequila. The food was visually pleasant, & the taste was even better. The guacamole was fresh & delicious. The duck, as well as the surf & turff tacos, were scrumptious. I love the build it yourself concept. They were served with delicious sauces. I loved their meat broth sauce. Great restaurant! I will go back!

The food was fresh, & the drinks were on point. There was a live DJ & a violin player, which was very entertaining.
