Topolobampo & Frontera Grill

Editorial Review

Despite the absence of celeb chef Rick Bayless' physical presence, you'll feel the force of his formidable resume in the strength of the scrum around the bar waiting for tables. Should you be lucky enough to get a seat, you'll also experience it in his ever-evolving south-of-the-border menu that ranges from traditional to sublime and ornate. Go for Frontera Grill, Topolobampo's slightly cheaper, less-uppity half, if you want things just a little less hectic.
