⭐ Chicago Michelin Star Topolobampo

🌟 Chicago Michelin 1-Star · Topolobampo | The Mole Menu 2025 Experience 📍 Topolobampo 445 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60654 💰 $165 per person Came back to Topolobampo for their Mole Menu this year! Same theme as last year, but the dishes are completely different—no worries there. ⭐ Overall: 4/5 – Apart from the main courses being a letdown, almost everything else was delicious! Still worth trying this menu. 🥘 Highlights Tamal (tamal agrio + mole amarillo) – The most creative dish this year! Sourdough tamal paired with golden mole—layered, aromatic, and texturally brilliant. 🍰 Desserts (foie gras ice cream + chocolate semifreddo) – Not heavy at all, and the most impressive part of the meal! 🍨 Foie gras ice cream – Savory with a tequila twist, so unique. 🍫 Chocolate semifreddo with peanut mole – Unforgettable pairing! Smooth chocolate balanced with bitter notes, perfectly cutting the sweetness. 🐇 Rabbit (Conejo, mole verde) – Meat was dry, seasoning felt off. Didn’t meet expectations. 🐗 Texas Wild Boar Pork Chop (Jabalí, mole poblano) – Tough texture, strong gamey flavor, not elevated by the mole… honestly hard to finish 😅 🎉 Final Thoughts Topolobampo offers a wide variety of moles—complex, creative, and full of ceremony. Even with two disappointing mains, everything from starters to desserts was solid. Especially considering those incredible desserts, this menu is still worth trying! 👉 If you want to experience authentic yet refined Mexican mole, this place is still a must-visit. I’ve been multiple times and still trust their quality—even if each menu varies, the overall standard remains high. #RestaurantWorthRevisiting #MexicanFood #ChicagoEats #ChicagoMichelin #MichelinStar
