About Tamm Mexican Restaurant
Choosing where to eat downtown often comes down to what is an easy walk once the car is parked, and Tamm Mexican Restaurant answers that question at 430 Harvey Avenue, inside the downtown district a few blocks from the offices, museums and waterfront parks that give the centre of the city its shape. This part of town is built for walking, which makes a meal here easy to fold into an afternoon by the water.
Mexican cooking covers an enormous range, and kitchens in Canada approach it in very different ways. Some build around grilled and griddled meats with soft tortillas and a spread of salsas at the table, others work through slow braises, stews and rice plates, and many keep a separate line of vegetarian fillings. Heat is handled differently too, sometimes cooked deep into a dish and sometimes left for the diner to add. Portion style also varies, from individual plates to platters meant for sharing. A quick question when you book settles all of that faster than guessing.
The number to call is +1 236-420-4981, and there is a site at tammrestaurant.com for anyone who likes to look first. Summers here are hot and dry, and the downtown streets fill through July and August with people drawn to the beaches, so an early sitting or a midweek visit is the calmer option in high season. Groups, outdoor seating and takeout arrangements differ from one downtown room to another, so it is worth raising those on the phone rather than at the door.
