Les avis sur Balam décrivent une expérience chaleureuse et immersive, avec un cadre élégant inspiré de Tulum et une ambiance festive adaptée aux sorties entre amis ou aux occasions spéciales. La cuisine mexicaine moderne est appréciée pour sa fraîcheur et ses saveurs riches, avec des plats comme ceviche, ribeye tacos et préparations braisées qui séduisent par leur présentation soignée et leur goût intense, accompagnés de cocktails créatifs. Le service est généralement attentif et professionnel, l’équipe chaleureuse et l’accueil rassurant. Des notes mentionnent parfois des portions ou des tarifs un peu élevés et quelques lenteurs selon les services, mais l’ensemble évoque une expérience largement positive et attrayante qui incite à revenir.
La décoration est belle ainsi que le service, par contre la guacamole est très fade, les tacos sont pas mal mais tous pleins d'ognions frits & cilantro. Ce n'est pas impressionnant .
We sat at the bar & had a great bartender/waitress. Loved the Burata salad. Top notch. Also order a couple of different tacos & my favorite was the octopus.

If you're looking for an upscale Mexican experience, Balam is the place. The decor is absolutely stunning-it feels like you've been transported to a high-end beach club. We loved the Ribeye Tacos & the Hamachi Tartare; both were incredibly fresh & flavorful. The cocktails are also a work of art . Great music, great service, & a perfect spot for a night out.
Balam at Royalmount offers a vibrant, elevated dining experience, serving sophisticated, contemporary Mexican cuisine in a stunning Tulum-inspired setting. The atmosphere is energetic & stylish, making it perfect for a festive night out.
The food is exceptional, seamlessly blending traditional Mexican flavors with modern techniques. Must-try dishes include the rich rib eye tacos & expertly prepared ceviches, all using fresh, high-quality.
What truly elevates the experience is the service, particularly our server, Jaime. Jaime was fantastic-attentive, professional, & genuinely warm.
He guided us through the complex menu with insightful recommendations & ensured our drinks were promptly refreshed.
Jaime's excellent service made our evening feel seamless & personalized, turning a great meal into a truly memorable occasion.
The service was really bad. There were no waiters & I believe the restaurant owner was serving us. The restraurant was empty except for our table. He was super dry, only filled our cups of water twice in an hour & a half, did not offer to take our coats & was generally unpleasant. The food was not cheap so I was expecting more considerate service. The food itself was pretty good except for the fact that the fish in my tacos was fishy, which is not at all acceptable at that price point.
Over priced food for tiny servings.
Nice ambiance. It was a busy Thursday night. Very very slow service.
Not enough staff or the ones that were there seemed over worked.
The female waitresses seemed to be just walking around, looking good & not doing much to share the work load & make service faster.
It was 45 min wait between appetizer & main dish(tacos).

We sat at the bar & had an amazing time. Received great service from all the staff. The food was delicious, elevated & authentic which is hard to find. I loved their ceviches & fish tacos. The cocktails were refreshing. They had a dj which created an amazing atmosphere & ambience. Will definitely return with friends & family.
Great ambiance & lovely decor, but unfortunately the puck stopped there as we had an absolute terrible experience.
From our reservation time, it took around 20-25 mins to take our order. Another 30 minutes to get our drinks. & our main courses only came nearly 2 hours after our reservation time, which would not have been a big issue if they had not forgot our appetizers (should not have taken that long, it was guac & chips)...& to top it all off, my own meal was not even brought out as they forgot to punch it in. Hungry as ever, I was really hoping to enjoy the food when it did come, but the meal (ribeye tacos) was subpar in my opinion.
Further, there were errors in our bill that was eventually corrected. Staff was apologetic & seemed busy, but service should always be the top priority in any restaurants.
A few issues here that I truly hope the management staff addresses seriously to ensure the restaurant reaches its full potential.
Sadly, the service was here was just terrible.
We waited for so long we decided to leave after our appetizers. We had the queso fundido with chorizo which was good & the Balam ceviche which was also good but missing lime juice in my opinion. I was looking forward to trying the fish tacos but the server never came e back to take our order. We asked for the check which never came either so we had to go inside to pay.
The restaurant itself is beautiful & the food is ok but we won't be coming back.
Food was good but overpriced in my opinion but it may be the setting. We tried the Balam guacamole which was good. The fish tacos were very flavorful & packed. The Balam margarita was great as well.
Service was slow, we had to wave the waiters multiple times for dessert or water.
If you want a fancy Mexican meal, try it.

Tacos were good. We ordered the Cornish hen which came raw & lukewarm. We told the server that we know that it's normal to be a bit pink around the bone area but our chicken was red & slimy. The chicken breast was also a little red. It was undercooked. He offered to'heat it up' for us.
My husband is a chef & he didn't want to make a fuss so we let it go & there was no point reheating a Cornish hen that was taken apart.
Dinner out with girlfriends.
Restaurant atmosphere nice vibe. Very loud music.
Food was beautifully presented & tasty.
Drinks equally delicious.
Guacamole & chips good, tacos ordered by friends looked great, Halloumi cauliflower dish good as well.
We did not have reservations so we were told from the outset that we would have to vacate our table after 1.5h. Fair.
At the point where we were to vacate our table, we had just finished eating, & were still enjoying each others company, so we moved to the outdoor terrace which was completely vacant ( as it had rained 1 hour earlier). We sat there for 2 hours. NOT ONCE, did a server come to offer the dessert menu, ask if we wanted more drinks from the bar, or at the very least fill our water glasses.
When it was time to collect for the bills, the restaurant (? Host) came to apologize that we had been neglected as they had other issues to solve…… at which point he offered us some water……. So very disappointing. They had a large party that evening & we felt neglected. Unfortunately a turn off & unlikely to return.
J'ai vraiment adoré mon passage dans ce restaurant mexicain ! Dès l'entrée, l'ambiance chaleureuse, la musique & la déco nous transportent directement au Mexique. Le service était impeccable : souriant, rapide & attentionné. Côté cuisine, un vrai régal ! Les tacos étaient bien garnis, les saveurs parfaitement équilibrées, & les ingrédients frais. Mention spéciale pour les guacamoles maison
Cuisine mexicaine, pas vraiment mexicaine. On vous vend une assiette de mini-salsas avec des tlayudas, mais au final, on ne vous donne que des chips tortillas, car il s'agissait d'une erreur d'impression, selon la serveuse. Le canard n'a ni saveur ni texture.
Les meilleurs de la soirée était les tacos de faux-filet.
Mexican food, not so Mexican. They sell you a plate of mini salsas with tlayudas, but in the end they only give you tortilla chips because it was a printing error, according to the waitress. The duck has neither flavor nor texture.
Food was incredible! I highly recommend the Rib eye tacos & the Pato ( 12 hour braised duck… delicious) The Decor is a beautiful vibe, & the drinks were very tasty.
Nadir is exceptional & Maddie is very talented. Thank you for a wonderful night
Super beau & bon restaurant ! J'ai adoré mon expérience. Nous avions une réservation pour 10 personnes ce soir, & je n'ai pas été déçu. Que ce soit les tacos aux crevettes & au poulpe, ou le trio de ceviches, tout était excellent. & que dire de la décoration du restaurant…juste WOW!Ce ne sera certainement pas ma dernière fois !☺?
I had an amazing experience at this new mexican restaurant. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, the service is friendly & attentive, & the food is absolutely outstanding. The highlight of my meal was the duck tacos-perfectly cooked, tender, & packed with rich, savory flavors. They're unlike anything I've had before-
unique, delicious, & a must-try for any taco lover. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine with a creative twist, this place is a gem. I'll definitely be coming back for more!
