" Had a lovely experience overall. The Korean Asada burrito was a highlight; the flavors were rich without being overpowering. The friendliness of the staff also made us feel at home. I think the only aspect they could improve on is the wait time during busy periods, but that won’t stop me from coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a lovely time at BALAM, from the moment I walked in, the vibe was captivating. The food was colorful and inviting on the plate, a feast for the senses. My favorite was definitely the chicken burrito, highly recommend trying it! " (*Curated Review*)

" BALAM is a darling eatery! Enjoyed the casual yet beautiful decor, and the food was superb. The tacos offered a nice variety, and the horchata was the best I ever tasted! They made my visit delightful, and I cannot wait to return for more tasty treats. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was flavorful and enjoyed the different taco options, the service was a bit slow, which took away from the experience. Prices also felt a bit higher compared to portions served. Overall, it was a decent meal but not quite the extraordinary experience I had hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Balam hoping for a great meal and that's exactly what I got! The al pastor was juicy and flavorful, best I’ve had outside of Mexico! The staff was very helpful in guiding my choices. The only downside was that it was quite busy, so preparing time was a bit longer than expected. But worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)
