What a nice place. Interior is great. The staff are extra helpful, multiple waiters and waitresses were making sure everything was okay and if we needed anything. The food is incredible, really tasty. Espresso martini and Margheritas are also very good. Very impressed 👍

Food was really good. Wine was very nice also. Good atmosphere in the place. Took a long time to get served but we may have got unlucky with the location of our table.

I booked a visit here for my vegetarian husband and two kids after reading some of the good reviews. It didn’t disappoint. Lots of choice on the menu, good atmosphere and service was really attentive. Staff really helpful - answering questions about the true heat of some of the dishes. Kids menu available- my ten year old had chicken tacos and sorbet for dessert and loved them. Wish we had one of these in Leamington Spa where we live!

Excellent atmosphere and extensive, interesting looking menu. Service was efficient but impersonal, there was no explanation of how to order in tapas style (although it was made clear on the menu) and at no point were we asked if we were enjoying our food or not. Food was above average although not as special as the menu made it sound. Overall an enjoyable evening but wouldn't rush back.

My partner and I came here on Tuesday and we had the best experience. This is our favourite place to eat and we always come once a month. The food is always so good, my partner is obsessed with the beef tacos, he get 3 plates at a time haha.the wait time for the food is also speedy fast which is amazing when you’re hungry.
The atmosphere is amazing with little details around the restaurant.
What made this experience amazing was our waiter! Our waitresses in the past have been ok but Jorge was so fun and nice. He took time to ask us what we are up to and offered us extra napkins without us even asking as he could see we needed them. These little things made a big difference in the whole experience. We were all cracking jokes which made everything even more enjoyable! So thank you Jorge!

"Topolabamba truly left us in awe with their exceptional service. In all my dining experiences, I've never encountered such lightning-fast service! It was as if they anticipated our every need. The moment we placed our order, our delicious tapas, tacos, taquitos, and fries were on our table in no time. This quick service allowed us to savor every bite while keeping our conversation flowing effortlessly.
Speaking of the food, it was an absolute delight. Each dish was bursting with authentic Mexican flavors that transported us to a culinary paradise. The tapas had a perfect balance of spice and seasoning, the tacos were a mouthwatering treat, and those taquitos... oh my! And let's not forget about those fries – they were a crispy, flavorful indulgence.
The drinks at Topolabamba were equally delightful. Whether it was a refreshing margarita or a unique specialty cocktail, they complemented our meal perfectly. The mixologists here really know their craft, and it showed in every sip.
But what truly set Topolabamba apart was their friendly staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. Their attentiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs made our dining experience all the more enjoyable. It's not just a restaurant; it's a place where you feel like a valued guest.
Topolabamba, you've set the bar high not only in terms of food but also in exceptional service. We'll be back for more of your scrumptious dishes and the friendly hospitality that makes dining here an absolute pleasure!"

Food and cocktails were great, and all reasonably priced. The fish tacos were the best thing we tried. The jalapeño poppers weren't great but not bad, there are just better things on the menu. I would highly recommend.

Nice place with good food. Some portions are very big so not a good idea to mix the tapas and the main course like I did! 2 or 3 tapas at most will do most folk with healthy appetites.
Service decent enough but could probably have done with more waiting staff on given it was a Saturday evening during the Fringe. Fair value for what you get though so all in all pretty happy.

Excellent for gluten free. Their normal menu lists foods as gluten free or not but doesn't list may contains so worth asking for the allergy menu. A server told me there's no cross contamination in the kitchen for gluten. Certainly I haven't got ill and we've eaten there twice - I'm pretty sensitive and can hardly eat out anywhere. So I'm delighted.
Food was really good. Frozen margaritas also excellent- not overly sweet.
Staff were obviously very busy but the service was excellent and they worked really hard to be polite, helpful and friendly. All staff v allergy aware.
Definitely book ahead.
