Chicago | Topolobampo – A Fiesta of Flavors! 🌮✨

📍 Topolobampo – Chicago’s Michelin-starred Mexican gem that took us on a culinary adventure! Here’s the juicy recap: 🍹 WELCOME BITES • Husband’s seasonal cocktail = big hit! • My mocktail = forgotten name, but refreshing! • Oysters (his) = fresh AF; mine swapped for chips + guac (pregnancy life 🥑). 🎉 THE STALLS (COURSES) 1️⃣ Piñata Stall 🪅 • Break the cookie shell to reveal goodies underneath! • Original: Raw fish → Pregnant version: Mango + avocado (still tasty!). • Inspired by Mexico’s piñata tradition (kids + candy chaos!). 2️⃣ Chicharron Prensado Stall 🐷 ★★★★★ FAVE DISH! • Crispy pork skin + melt-in-your-mouth fat = taco heaven. 🌮💥 • Rich but balanced—no regrets! 3️⃣ Wild Mushroom Stall 🍄 • Morel mushrooms + truffle sauce = umami bomb. • A bit heavy by the end (mushroom overload!). 4️⃣ Mole Stall 🍫 • 32-ingredient mole sauce = herbal/bitter (not our fave). • Chicken sausage = tender but... why so basic? 🐔😐 5️⃣ Cheese Stall 🧀 • Cheesecake with a caramelized crust + crispy cheese crackers = PERFECTION. 6️⃣ Botanica 🌿 • Chocolate lover’s dream with herb syrup to cut sweetness. 💸 DAMAGE REPORT • $700+ for two (💸 yikes, but worth the experience). 📍 Topolobampo [Address in Chicago] #MichelinDining #MexicanFood #ChicagoEats #FoodieAdventure #DateNightGoals
