It is a very pleasant patio experience. My wife liked the pork taco dish. I liked the duck, but it could have been a bit spicier.

Food and services was perfect, 20% automatic gratuity with parties of 6. Not communicated just on recipe. None the less service and food is great, will definitely come back for brunch

The food was uneven. I consider only the guacamole to be noteworthy. We were charged $16 extra for rice and beans for entrees. Service was terrible. We had to go inside several times to have server called to the table during the meal. We were double charged on the final bill for which we had to request correction. We brought all of these problems to the attention of the manager and no apology or accommodation was forthcoming.

It was our first time here, and the restaurant itself and the food were excellent. We really enjoyed everything we ordered and would absolutely come back for the food alone. Unfortunately, the service and seating situation ended up affecting our overall experience. The first table we were seated at was unsteady, and when we asked to move, the second table had the same issue. We were also seated right in front of the door, and every time it opened, cold air came in. Between the cold draft and having to be careful because of the unsteady table, it was difficult to fully relax and enjoy what was otherwise a great meal. After finishing our appetizer, we placed our silverware on the plate since it was covered in tomato sauce, but when the plate was cleared, the same silverware was placed back on the table and we had to ask for clean ones. My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was the highlight of the meal. However, I wasn't able to order a wine to pair with it in time, and by the time the wine arrived, I was almost finished with my main course. I normally don't mind service issues as long as the food is good, but with the cold draft, unsteady table, and service delays, the overall experience was disappointing and took away from an otherwise excellent meal.

We both enjoyed fancy cocktails to start. I was impressed by the smoky delivery of my Grunon, and my date enjoyed her Skinny Margarita. I love plantains, but I'd never experienced anything like their Platanos con Crema - so rich and delicious! We also loved their Nopales y Hongos: cactus and mushrooms together again! Service was warm and knowledgeable. Parking was easy. We'll definitely be back.

Colibri was good, not great. Located in the heart of Presidio Park, this restaurant is a convenient spot for lunch. The food is decent but didn’t wow me at all. As a celiac, I was worried about the gluten-free reviews of cross contamination on the Find Me Gluten Free app.
When I asked the waiter about gluten free items on the menu, she didn’t seem to understand exactly what was safe for me to eat. She pointed to the fish tacos, but wasn’t sure about the marinade. To play it safe, I said I had both a gluten and soy allergy (the soy sauce they use is NOT gluten free).
I ordered the butter lettuce salad with chicken. It quenched my hunger and was completely safe - I feel fine after eating. The food itself was nothing special. My friends (not gluten free) ordered the fish tacos, chicken tortilla soup, and chicken flautas and said they were “good, not great.”
While the food was just okay, the ambiance and atmosphere was lively and fun. Service was also quick and friendly.

Our server, Oswaldo, was lovely! Made up for a bit of a longer than usual wait. I ordered a hot tea because it was chilly and I appreciated that the hot water kept coming without even asking. It was a small gesture but was very meaningful to me 😊
Ambiance on the patio was cozy and romantic with the greenery and fire pits.
My dish was sooo yummy! I can’t recall the name but it had grilled octopus and calamari alongside a specialty butter. The potatoes literally melted in my mouth 🤤 I took half home because it was quite filling.
I’ll be back for sure and want to try sitting at the bar!

Good, but while their guacamole was delicious, it had a fatal combination of features: it was BOTH expensive AND too small.
This is hands down our favorite restaurant in San Francisco. The entire mix makes for a perfect, relaxing, enjoyable romantic evening or evening with friends. Parking is super easy ( when does that ever happen in SF?) The staff is AMAZING and top notch- courteous, attentive, fast and decidedly likable. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the lighting is beautiful, both inside and outside. Last but not least, let's not forget the food....OUTSTANDING! It is not greasy, tastes incredibly fresh, and is very well prepared and delicious. Highly recommend.

Love this gem in heart of presidio. Authentic Mexican cuisine, fish was fresh and carnitas exceptional. Great service on patio, took family on sunny day overlooking bay. Easy parking.
