Best Mexican fine dining in the US. Novel ideas with Mexican ingredients, culture, and skills! Visited a few times for their seasonal tasting menu.

Topolobampo is a must try in Chicago! The experience from beginning to end is incredible! All the dishes are flavorful, well balanced, yet still tastes like authentic Mexican food. There were only a couple of dishes that were slightly oversalted, but we still ate everything.

An elegant set dinner in a beautiful space. Overall, my brother and I enjoyed the six-course meal, made up solely of ingredients from the pre-Columbian world. However, while the dishes were incredibly flavorful and bold, I found the absence of dairy and sugar resulted in an unmet need for something to offset the savory flavors. Moreover, the pacing of the meal was very slow – it took 3 hours to receive all six dishes. This didn’t seem to bother other patrons, but I felt the pacing could definitely have been improved.

Overall we enjoyed the evening – good company and good flavor. But pacing was very strange with waits between courses of around 20min and at least once where we were asked how the food was twice in between courses when no food had been served since the last time it was asked. Maybe the kitchen was running behind or something. In terms of the menu, we were there for the pre-Columbian menu. The dishes were very yummy, but I had a hard time differentiating them. All just one rich mole type sauce after the next. So although each was delicious, a series of 4-5 in a row was boring. We still had a good time, but with the bad pacing, uninspiring menu, and high cost, I wouldn’t return.

This was arguably one of the greatest experiences of my life. Every detail was perfection, every bite was a flawless symphony of flavor and texture. I without a doubt will be coming back and recommend to all my friends who visit Chicago to get reservations here.

Beyond amazing. In my top 5 restaurant experiences. Gluten-Free substitutions barely needed and gracefully made. We did the wine and Agave spirits tasting. So much flavor in each bite. The staff was wonderful and the pace of the meal was perfect, 3 hours total.

The dining experience was phenomenal. Each dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were vibrant, and the portions were perfect. (Well, it was definitely enough food — but the flavors were so great, we found ourselves wishing there was more, and trying to savor each little crumb.)

Outstanding staff and food that, one can tell, has been made with a burning passion. We had the Dia De Los Muertos Oaxaca menu 2021 with the wine pairing. Every single course was exquisite and the presentation was extraordinary. I would certainly recommend for those looking for an authentic Mexican food elevated, yet true to its roots.

We had an extraordinary experience. Every dish was outstanding with the halibut and lamb being the most remarkable ones, because of their accompanying sauces. All the servers were great too, so friendly and fun to chat with. I have to point out that our personal server, Victor, was especially charming (but we did spend the most time talking to him since he described all the wines and agaves). He went out of his way to make us feel special and welcomed. The food overall is not what we expected and I think I’m forever spoiled and will want Mexican cuisine to be the way Topolobampo prepares it.
