Is Topolobompo (sp?) still open / owned by Bayless? I have never eaten at either of the two restaurants. Rick Bayless' cookbooks are the most consistent that I have ever used. Everything I have ever made from one of his books has been superb. They are full of useful information and many of the recipes have fantastic variations and substitutions. I recently made some tacos using one of his recipes - it called for searing a pound of bistec, a white onion, and 24 whole serranos in some hot oil on a comal. It was tremendous - and hot enough to get your attention. Standard disclaimers.... Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.

Had wonderful meals there. Outstanding margaritas! There's also a House of Blues there that's fun. The art museum is fantastic as well. Enjoy your trip!
