Frontera Grille/Tompolobampo

Excellent touch, although we had a reservation they made us wait but gave us a gourmet appetizer. Good service and quality. Excellent paint decoration

My wife and I dined at Topolobampo expecting the experience to match the Michelin pedigree plastered all over the walls and the $600 price tag. It did not. The most serious issue was hygiene. My wife's water glass arrived with what looked like a large smudge of makeup on it (photo attached). She flagged it to a server, who took it away and returned with a replacement except the replacement glass was covered in what appeared to be cotton fuzz, as if someone had tried to wipe the original smudge with a cloth and handed it back. There was also a visible hair on it (photo attached). Arguably, the second glass was worse than the first. Separately, a different server noticed mid-meal that my cocktail glass was cracked and proactively replaced my drink, which I appreciated though it did underscore that glassware QC was not happening before service. Pacing was the other problem. We had an 8:30 PM reservation in a dining room with plenty of open seats, and we were not out the door until after 11:00 PM and that was only after we asked them to speed up the remaining dessert courses. There is slow-and-intentional tasting-menu pacing, and then there is this, which felt like the kitchen and floor were out of sync. One of the servers kept serving us silverware for the wrong course and corrected themselves on two occasions as well. The food itself was decent, but the conceptual design of the menu was unclear, and one of the servers visibly struggled to explain several of the dishes, which is not a small thing at a restaurant where storytelling is supposed to be part of what you are paying for. At this price point and this level of recognition, the floor of acceptable is a clean glass and a server who can describe what is on the plate. We did not get either consistently. One star.

My family celebrated Mother’s Day earth with a special dinner here. I will absolutely be back. Lead by a strong female chef. Each dish was not only delicious, but an absolute piece of art. I have a food allergy and they were meticulous about keeping me safe. The staff is top notch and the decor is gorgeous! Thank for making my Mother’s Day so special.

Dinner 4/15/2025 with friends. My fifth visit I think. Gorgeous!

Everything about this experience was amazing. From the starter and drinks in the waiting area to the quiet ambience and art in the dining area, our expectations were exceeded. The conchinita pibil was absolutely my favorite. I will be dreaming about that dish.

Wow. What an experience. Superb service, exceptional food. The tequila / wine pairing is recommended, really heightens the experience.

This was a return trip after almost 15 years and it was still as delicious as I remember. The format has changed but the flavors were still on point. The staff was attentive and friendly. However, the one aspect I hoped had changed but did not was the wait between courses. Even though I told them at the beginning that I would like to leave sooner and to have the courses come out faster, it still took 30 minutes between them. I was there for 2.5 hours for a 3 course meal that had 2 additional small bites and bonbons with the check. Other tables also had just as long a wait time so I know it wasn't just us. The food and service is great but just don't plan to go anywhere after.

tasteful. Knowing that this was Mexican, we were most looking forward to trying this tasting as we knew it would be flavorful and we were not disappointed. We also did the wine tasting with it which paired well. We originally were going to do the agave tasting but worried that it would have been too strong. Anyways everything was wonderful. They accommodated vegetarian and pescatarian diets well. Thank you for your service!

Absolutely amazing meal and drinks. The service and setting were both fantastic as well. I will be back for sure.
