  • I'm torn about Totopo. I really like some aspects of the restaurant, and I'll happily eat there again, but it has some huge flaws that just kind of disappoint me. So The Good: They have the most amazing table-side guacamole. Absolutely the best I've ever had, and I go there when I need a fix. The atmosphere is great, the servers have all been very nice and accommodating, and I love sitting there in the cozy, yet vibrant restaurant. They have a lot of great basic TexMex dishes, and I have enjoyed some of the more "standard" meals I've had there. The Bad: The quality of the food is at what I would call an "El Campesino" level. El Campesino is a chain of restaurants where my friends and i would regularly go in college. We'd chow down on chips and salsa and lots of margaritas, and didn't really care that we were eating a cheap variation of what Americans think Mexican food is. So don't go to Totopo and order a steak, because you'll get a really pathetic steak. I ordered mine medium and got a grey slab, the quality of which might be found on the menu at a Denny's. The fiesta rice tasted like it was from a box. And the cheese is cheap as well. Authentic Mexico cuisine this is not. The Ugly: Simple dishes that should be easy to make are ruined because the restaurant has taken shortcuts and uses boxed or frozen food. A perfect example is the cilantro rice. Should be easy, right? You make rice, you add some salt and pepper and cilantro. The rice was sugary, because they use a mix instead of making fresh food. Same for the lime vinaigrette salad dressing. It was so sweet and the salad was so drenched that I could barely choke it down. I ended up eating the meat and leaving most of the lettuce on the plate. So Totopo's is great for a night out with friends and family, as long as you aren't expecting this place to be high-end or upscale, like it's address or atmosphere might suggest. Stick to tried and true favorites like quesadillas, tacos, fajitas, etc., or maybe just go there for drinks and appetizers. It's a satisfying place, just not what i was hoping for in Mt. Lebanon.
