Love. Love. Love. If you know, you know. This meal made me emotional. Like being wrapped in a memory. The caldo tasted just like my Aunt Pina's, instantly transporting me back to childhood dinners surrounded by family, love, and warmth. This was elevated nostalgia, comforting, soulful, and perfectly paired with thoughtful wine and mezcal. Every bite felt intentional. No critiques, only gratitude. This is why Bayless continues to stand the test of time. Choosing passionate people like Chef Meagan O'Connor and a team who provides Impeccable service. A meal I'll always remember. What a way to celebrate the flavors and ingredients of Mexico and the midwest. Hats off!

What an awesome experience: the service was 3 Michelin star quality: Hamilton was engaging without being intrusive. The entire staff served dinner as a cohesive team. We had the mole tasting menu: the food was one set of great flavors after another. Paring with wine and agave (tequila/mescal) depending onto the course was delicious

This spot has been on my list for yearsss and my husband and I finally made reservations for our anniversary. The restaurant entrance is hidden inside of Frontera. It took us a little bit to find out where to enter the building. Surprisingly, the Frontera staff working the patio also did not know which door for us to enter so we ended up walking back and forth around the corner. Anyway, the ambiance of Topolo is warm and intimate. We had an enjoyable dinner. Our favorite courses were the dishes that incorporated seafood. I can't say any specific dish blew me away. A couple issues/feedback I'd comment on is that the egg yolk veil was a bit too salty and my duck was unfortunately chewy. Topolo is definitely a great place to celebrate and enjoy a special dinner. Is it my favorite tasting menu? No. But I'm glad I finally experienced it.

7 moles tasting menu. Seven courses. With variety and optional pairings. Server, Hamilton, recommended the evening cocktail which we (6) ordered and loved. Servings came with an explanation of the dish and featured mole. Ranging from oysters to wagu tongue. White table cloth with attentive servers. Even visits from the chefs. Wine suggestion from sparkling Chardonnay to dry Riesling to Italian red all spot on. See their website for tasting menu descriptions. A special night with special friends at a special restaurant. Enjoy!

Loved Topolobampo! Warning: These are not traditional tacos, they are inspired in Mexican food. Having said that, and as a Mexican who lived 20+ years in Mexico City, this is great!! Loved all the food, the tortillas were handmade from corn, nopal, blue corn. Among the best I've had. Everything was delicious, the wine pairing was really good too. The service was nice and interesting, when we arrived they took us to a waiting area where they offer drinks, a few minutes later the table was ready and they took moved what we had to our table. The place was nice and upscale, a little on the louder side but very easy to have conversations. Totally recommend!

This is our second time coming here, and it never disappoints. From start to finish it is an experience. This past weekend we were here for the taste of Puebla menu and I was very much looking forward to all of the mole sauces. Just like last time, the service was immaculate. We were lucky enough to be served by the captain, I believe his name was José. Each dish was very unique. My favorite savory dish was the tamal with huilacoche and the hubs was a huge fan of the tortilla soup and the divorcados dish. The star of the night though was the strawberry and dulche de leche dessert-- it had every texture and flavor. So good! A huge plus was Rick Bayless himself was eating dinner at the table next to us (I nerded out a little) and the chef de cuisine was down the way so it must have been a test night. So enjoyable. A few small things I didn't like such as the greasiness of the salmon skin chicharron and the tiny torta amuse bouche but overall it was a fantastic meal. They really take their time to put small touches into the meal, like a celebratory card and making sure the cup handle faces the correct way. It's not a cheap meal but certainly worth a stop if you want a fancy and delicious meal that isn't steak or French based cuisine. Will be back!

This was my 2nd visit to Topolobampo- though the visits were more than a decade apart- and I was even more pleased with my experience on this visit. Topo is now a smaller, more intimate, and pricier take on the original Topo experience as I remember it. However, the food, service, and ambiance are even better than I remember. When you enter the restaurant, you'll actually go into the Frontera entrance which is bustling and full of life. You'll then be whisked away to the smaller setting of Topo which is just through a door in the restaurant. The menu is prix fixe, with the opportunity to do a foie gras addition, wine pairings, or agave/wine pairings. All of these things you can order ahead, but they also have a lovely cocktail menu if that is more your speed. We had our first few bites in the lounge area while checking in with our server, and then were moved to our table. One of the fun surprises of the night was that Rick Bayless was actually in the restaurant eating! I'd guess there are about 12 tables in the restaurant, and the service was impeccable all night. Each dish was delicious. I'm not going to go into specific detail about the food, because the menu changes every 8-10 weeks or so, but each bite was so good. There were even a couple of surprise courses throughout the night at the beginning, middle, and end. I loved that we got to take home some little favors with concha and hot chocolate to go. Everything about this meal was incredible, and I hope to go back in the future to try other menus!

We came in as a party or 8 for the art tasting menu, and absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic, the service was great. We had such a wonderful experience, would recommend 10 times over. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome and instantly greeted with a quick appetizer and cocktail. Then we got seated, and never felt neglected or rushed . Overall a fabulous tasting experience.

Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for fine dining that isn't hella Eurocentric. I came during their anniversary menu of greatest hits and it was one of my better Michelin experiences. The staff was all Latinx, friendly, professional, and a little sassy. The space itself is intimate. The tasting comprised of LOT of food and they have a Mezcal pairing (which I ordered but girlllllllllll it is a lot of liquor). Tortillas were served with most of the main courses. 10/10 would go back.

One of the best meals had to date. There are two sections: one more casual where you can order from the menu and then a more private one with your personal waiter. We opted for the latter. All the food had great flavor. Our waiter provided explanations of the dish and ingredients. There were some fairly complex balanced flavours, with well paired textures. The wine and mezcal pairings were spot on. Couldn't have asked for a better evening!
