Balam Toronto is a tucked away taco shop near Landsdowne station and I'll have to say it's probably one of my favourite tacos I've had. I got the taco trip with the carnitas and the Cochinita Pibil and let me tell you, the Cochinita Pibil is the way to go. Although it's a little far out, these tacos are well worth the journey.

To be clear, this rating is almost exclusively in reference to Balam's taco offering - though we've had very good empanadas there as well.We have two favourite taco choices: the Suadero (simmered beef); and, their outrageously delicious Birria with consommé.Our favourite empanada (so far) is the Chicken Verde - though the Chicken Rojo is a very close second.They have a selection of soft drinks, including the delicious Mexican brand Jaritos (one of our favourites).Service here is friendly and kind, and the small space (including a small patio in front) and the vibe is always chill.Highly recommended for your next taco craving!

We always pass by this place and see a lot of people so we got curious that it might just be too hyped up but damn we were not disappointed. One of the best Asada tacos I’ve ever tasted! Those chunky beets are to die for! And the chicken was so good too. I love that it comes with a guacamole but I wish it was more and they give different sauces as well but still it’s amazing!We didn’t have to wait too long for the food to arrive to. Maybe 15 minutes or less. Plus they have free coffee and water if u want to. Really nice cozy place. Will be coming back again and again.

The place has a really good menu but we asked for some of their options and they were not available. The chilaquiles with chicken were tasty, all their plates are really well served. The empanadas were good but the cheese was not the best. I like that they have free coffee when you buy your meal.

4.5. Delicious and authentic Mexican spot. Very casual inside, with lots of Mexican candies on display (and available for purchase). They also have free coffee! The tacos are packed full and meat heavy. Highly recommend the Birria. The staff were very warm and friendly and there were lots of people ordering. We ordered two types of tacos (they came with 3 each) and then also the birria quesadillas which were definitely the highlight. It was a lot of food for two people- but leftovers are good!

Staff are super friendly. Gives me mom and pop feels, taco prices are standard, and their tacos are great! Pro tip, if the staff speaks mainly Spanish, you know it amazing. Excited to have this gem on the block!

Stopped by for dinner - you just grab a menu and a seat at a tiny table, then order at the cash. Super casual and super value. Lots of options, and good for vegetarians too.They were “out of natchos”??? At 7pm on a Friday? That seemed odd.We both had mushroom and cheese empanadas- 2 large ones of crispy goodness. Will return to try more.Just had self-serve/free water - they have some interesting soft drinks.5m walk north of Landsdowne. Street parking. One step up to enter. Patio.

Small cozy restaurant serving authentic Mexican cuisine. Free bread and coffee are provided.The tacos' tortillas were corn and double layered!!Best empanada I have had so far in Toronto, the fried dough was particularly light and delicious. The feta cheese and lettuce sprinkled on top was a great complement.The restaurant is small and when I went the full menu was not available. Best to call in advance if you want something in particular.

Absolutely fantastic super authentic Mexican food, some of the best tacos in Toronto. I had the pastor tacos and they were delicious. Service was also absolutely lovely.
