Food Style? Mexican
A recent addition to the Wallace Emerson neighbourhood, Balam took over the empty space that used to be Fahmee Bakery, purveyor of excellent Caribbean style patties and curries. This location is notorious for a high turnover due to landlord issues, but its proximity to Lansdowne subway station and also en route to Ubisoft’s office will make this popular once people start returning to the studio. The interior has 10 seats, but on this hot spring day, a few people have opted to sit on the brick bench-like structures outside.

Chorizo Chilaquiles: triangle fried tortilla chips covered in sauce, red onion, cheese, avocado cream and refried beans
What a fantastic array of colours on the plate. It’s spicy and creamy and crunchy. Every mouthful is full of flavour and texture, perfectly balanced in every way. It’s definitely a lot of food, but I’ve just been to the gym so I can afford to eat something of this size. Best eaten immediately after serving so that the tortilla chips still have that wonderful crunch, but it still tastes decent if you have to take it away to eat somewhere else.
