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.

It was alright. Forced to buy a more expensive wine than wanted because they were out of stock on the only responsibly priced one

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.

We've been here a couple of times now. Ambience is great & the service too however the food was not as great as we hoped, especially the vegeterian options. The drinks were decent.

Le gigot d'agneau était absolument délicieux ! La viande était tendre à souhait, avec une sauce braisée savoureuse & une purée de patates douces qui complétait parfaitement le plat. Un vrai coup de coeur, même si la portion aurait pu être un peu plus généreuse.

Nous avons aussi pris le contre-filet à la parilla, accompagné d'une purée gratinée & d'oignons croustillants - très bon & rassasiant. En entrée, la guacamole classique & le Balam ceviche : frais, goûteux, & bien équilibrés. Mention spéciale au ceviche, que mon mari a adoré.

Les cocktails (Reina del Sur & L'aube du Balam) étaient beaux, originaux & délicieux. Service rapide & attentionné, ambiance agréable avec un bon DJ. Très belle expérience, hâte de revenir pour essayer les desserts !
