The Frontera Grill is a must. The proprietors, Rick and Deann Bayless, have
written a cookbook or two, and the place has been written up in Bon Appetit
and/or Food and Wine more than once. I ate there a few years ago when I was
in the area and was not disappointed. The food is pretty much based on
Mexican cuisine, but definitely taken out beyond the usual boundaries.
Topolobampo is owned by the same team, but I think it's more casual.

Have fun!
