Topolabamba (Glasgow) 2022 : Review

Todays Visit

Today I was meeting friends to see Top Gun 2 and we needed a place to eat after the movie.

It was a favourite of someone we were with and it had been a while since my last visit, so we headed and hoped they had a table.

The Food

As I said it had been a while since I had been here, mostly due to having to visit different places or if someone I was with fancied elsewhere I would just go with that.

What to order now this was a tough decision.

Chicken Tinga QUESADILLAS £6.60
(Large soft tortilla stuffed with a filling of your choice & toasted)

I think I had this last time, but I couldn’t remember what it was like so I had to try it again.

On arrival the aroma was amazing, it instantly made my mouth water.

I took a bite and my mouth was hit with many amazing flavours, and a little after kick but everything worked so well together.

I loved every bite of this and could easily have had more…but there was a few more dishes ordered.

JALAPENO POPPERS £7.35
Jalapenos, Molito Cheese & Corn, Breadcrumbed, Roasted Brava Sauce

I have had Jalapeno Poppers from other places and thought yeah these are nice, so I had to try them here.

A friend I was with said they packed a punch, but I thought lets see

Presentation was nice, and the aroma was good so time to take a bite….

These tasted so good, the sauce, the flavours all worked I didnt think anything was wrong with them….then it snuck up and hit me.

WOW for me these were a bit too strong but I tried a second bite.

Yup I had to leave this one and it won this round, I am giving a 4/5 due to the kick for me but if you like a kick then you would love these.

CRAB CEVICHE TOSTADA £8.45
2 crispy corn tortillas topped with lime crab

I had had crab elsewhere recently and thought I want to try it here.

I had no idea what this was, but its always good to try new things.

On arrival this looked ok, and I could smell lime so it was time to taste.

This was very refreshing, I could take the lime, and a hint of crab as it wasnt a strong flavour.

For me this was ok, I was expecting a bigger crab flavour, as crab has a lovely flavour but as I said it was nice and refreshing but I wouldn’t have it again.

Churros £5.85
Hot Mexican Doughnuts

No matter how full I am there is normally always room for a little extra, and I had to order these.

I loved these last time, I loved these when I tried them in other places so it was going to hit my sweet tooth.

A massive smile it my face when I saw these, and I jumped right in.

Sweet, crispy, great flavour then added with the chocolate sauce mmmm

Perfection!

Visit Overall

It was great to be back again as it had been too long.

I didn’t find tonight as loud as my last visit, which is good as I could hear my friends easily when we were seated.

The food was very good, and I would order different things next visit to try other new dishes.

I am keeping here on my top spots to visit!

Have you been here? let me know in the comments.
