Balam

Balam offers its take on 'elevated Mexican dining' to ROYALMOUNT with a vibe that splits the difference between Tulum beachside and city chic. The menu leans into Mayan-inspired flavors—smoked crema, mole manchamanteles, duck leg confit tacos—executed in ways that justify the price point. The cocktail program is serious: think signatures that are mezcal-forward or even smoked with Palo Santo. The space itself is styled as a bohemian refuge with enough polish for both date nights and corporate dinners. It's no neighbourhood taqueria.
