Colibri Mexican Bistro

This was surprisingly mediocre and expensive. Maybe it’s the location that we were paying for. We were surprised by the 5% surcharge before tip. Restaurants need to stop doing this and just raise the prices. It’s infuriating to miss the very fine print that may have mentioned that there was a surcharge. Service was slow given that there were very few people in the restaurant. Portions were small. I had the veggie and cheese chile relleno which was pretty good but the plate came with one and it wasn’t very big. My husband had the fish tacos and they were pretty small as well. Guac was good. We sat outside and the bench seating had lots of prickly things making it uncomfortable to sit and to touch. Other than for the location I wouldn’t recommend.

I’ve lived in the Bay Area for 11 years and I never knew about this place until embarrassingly an Instagram influencing post guided me here. This is a new (3 years old) location in the Presidio. There’s a lot of space, a nice outdoor eating area and an intimately lit interior area. The food is authentic and elevated. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend to anyone looking for some solid Mexican food that’s not in The Mission.

Colibri Mexican Bistro scored well on all areas: location, parking, ambiance, food, and a heated outdoor patio that is very dog friendly. Its a contemporary take on traditional Mexican favorites and we would highly recommend and will return.

The mojito was amazing! Would come back just to have that drink again. Ordered the carnitas, delicious and felt like the portion size of the meat was ok, but the rice was a very small portion.

Fantastic!!! Fun with fun drinks- and we thought the drinks were made well!! Food = very artistic and delicious. Staff attentive, location great being in the Presidio, beautiful dining room!! Highly recommended

Such a pretty place to eat right by the beach. Service was amazing and the food was delicious. Can’t wait to visit the bay again to take my mom here 🥰

3.5 Stars The cocktails, chips, and salsas are great. The atmosphere is great as well. The service is average. The guacamole is quite bland. The entrees are quite pricey, small portions, under-seasoned, and overcooked. If you are getting drinks with friends, this is a fun place to go. If you’re hoping for a nice dinner, I’d look elsewhere.

This place is consistently delicious! It is pricey but worth it! I love the outdoor seating area. The indoor area has the cutest decor! The Margaritas are strong and a tad sweet. Guacamole was delicious and large portion! A few gluten and dairy free options. I came here for drinks once and this time for Brunch.. I was not disappointed! I can’t wait to go back for another date night! Dog friendly! Staff are attentive and friendly as well. Tons of parking ($3 to park/hr.).

I love this little place, which felt like a warm embrace after a couple of chilly days in the foggy city! I grew up all coastal California, and am always searching for that Mexican food that recalls the food in San Diego, mere steps from the border. This is that place! The warm welcome we were given walking in felt like coming home, and we were immediately shown to a seat by the window overlooking the heated patio. Light filtered in as we overlooked the menu selections. I chose a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and my husband opted for ginger ale. They have a decent wine list and alcohol selection with a full bar. I made note of the Happy Hour served at the bar on weekday afternoons, from 3pm to 6pm, as this was a celebratory kind of place. Chips arrived immediately with three sauces, and our beverages. You know, those kind of chips you can't stop eating? I snacked away and decided on fish tacos while my husband got chicken enchiladas. The entrees arrived quickly on lovely ceramic plates, and we dug in. The tacos had the crispiest fish with the best, freshest taste on home made tortillas! My husbands enchiladas were rich and smooth tasting. The food is not too spice and relies on the freshness of each of the ingredients to pack its subtle punch. We lingered over our plates, enjoying the plain but elegant ambience of the place, and watching it quickly fill up with customers. We miss the Presidio Social Club, but this will be our new go-to place on the Presidio!

I was trying to think of a place to take my parents for lunch while also playing tour guide. I remembered I never took them to Tunnel Tops since it opened and that's when I remembered they opened a Colibri close by to it, so it was a perfect place to go. It's a cute restaurant with a nice outdoor patio, though we sat inside (which is still nice). I went with the carne asada and I thought it was pretty good. My parents went with chicken enchiladas and both of them seemed to enjoy it. My gf got an order of sopes which were delicious, though small since it's an appetizer. We also shared an order of guacamole and salsas which were all delicious and freshly made (they have a person making it in front of you!). I'd come back next time to try their cocktails or for dinner.

There are very few options to eat in the Presidio, and it is great there is one really good option. My wife and I came for brunch here on a Saturday morning and the place was hopping. Tacos de Huevo con Chorizo: 4/5. Pretty straight forward with 3 scrambled eggs, chorizo, onions, and black beans. It was unexpectedly served with a side of grilled mushrooms, because this was not on the menu (and I hate mushrooms), but my wife was happy to take them. The tacos were very flavorful. The black beans were cooked, pureed, and topped with cheese in a small cup and were surprisingly good.

Delicious Mexican food! We enjoyed the carne asada with nopales and cochinita pibil. With nice service and ambiance. The carne asada was cooked medium well and it was tender and juicy. The Tortillas are made themselves. I enjoyed the nopales and the black beans a lot. Especially with the bit of crema and crumbled cheese. It came with a Chile de arbol salsa, but it wasn't spicy at all. Wish it had some sort of kick. The cochinita was dressed very well. The meat could of been a little less stringy/dry, but flavor was good. I enjoyed the crispy fried Tortilla that was stuffed with black beans and topped with avocado. Overall, the price is more they what we're used to from LA, but it tasted good.

We were greeted right away and sat at our choice table outside. The service was fast and very friendly. And all the food was good. We started with table side guacamole. Yummy! I got an egg dish over chips and black beans. Basic but delicious. My wife got the chile relleno. She thought it was good but not as flavorful as she hoped and too mushy. The drinks - Bloody Mary and a Paloma were good. I'll try something more adventurous next time. All in all this is a very nice place with a great staff and feels extremely clean and well maintained. I'll be back to keep exploring the menu.

We were @the Presidio Theatre for an afternoon Hula show. We made reservation here for early dinner after the show. It was a very cute & inviting atmosphere. They have seating outdoors & indoors. The patio had a lot tables and a nice ambiance. We sat inside because it was warm outside. Inside had less tables but still a nice ambiance. Not too loud inside so you can have a conversation w/o talking loud. The staff were all so nice. They had a full bar. The food was so fresh and cooked perfectly. We had party of eight and everyone loved their dishes. We did not have dessert so cannot comment on it. I think the crowd from the theatre filled the restaurant so it was a bigger crowd than they expected. We did not wait too long to get our food even with a big crowd. We would definitely come back here to eat when we are in the Presidio.

I love Mexico and Mexican food/music/culture so i was very excited to hear this place opened. Parking: there is a parking lot right in front but apple pay doesn't work for whatever reason. Hosts: really flexible, worked with us on our tardiness due to parking issue. We arrived Nov 3rd at 12:30- i think table 23: last one on the corner near the alter for dia de los muertos. We ordered drinks: one bloody mary, one lemon/mint agave mocktail and coffee. The waiter said the coffee would take 15 min. We accepted. We ordered the guac (yum) which was $18... possibly the most expensive guac i have ever seen... though they make it table side - as well as a side of plantanes and the queso fundito (queso was good but overpriced also) but we did not regret any of it. We moved on to a shared entree and huevos rancheros. I was quite disappointed with the huevos rancheros. I didn't really like the nopales with it. The beans were fantastic. I never thought i would say that about beans. Here is where everything went wrong. We were almost done with our meal and our friend still didn't have his coffee. We politely asked if it was still coming and the waiter rudely said "no - machine is broken". At this point i got mad because he had never bothered to inform us that the machine had mysteriously broken. I asked politely for an explanation and he said "thats just the way it is". I said he should have informed us 1h ago so we could order something else. His response was "let me see what i can do". LESS than 2min later: we had a full cup of coffee with no explanation... I understand servers are busy and i understand wait time but i dont understand lies AND no apology or explanation . Plus the waiter did not smile a single time in the 1.5h we were there.. it was not a warm hospitable experience as i would have expected it from a nice Mexican restaurant. Music: i wish it was mexican for setting purposes. When i wanted the bill there was no waiter in sight. I walked inside to pay but then they still "had to find the waiter". That took roughly 7-8 minutes rather than just ringing me up. Finally the host rang me up and asked if everything was ok. I said everything was ok except for our coffee situation. At this point our waiter came, interrupted us and said he would take over with me and i didn't need to explain further - i was startled. I said i WILL explain further. The host was kind and apologetic but mainly i just wanted to give feedback for them to improve. Then.. the waiter interrupted me and said "i didn't say the machine was broken" which was a total lie/joke. I told my friends the waiter said that and they laughed and roles their eyes. By the way our friend is waiter so he had been very patient and he felt it was all wrong also. ALSO: NONE of our plates were ever cleared for 1.5h including apps. I am the one that accumulated them in one spot. For a restaurant of this caliber this is not normal. I was facing empty dishes the entire meal.

You don't have to be in the Mission to get good authentic Mexican food. Part of being a yelper is stumbling upon good eats. Colibri Mexican Bistro is located in the Presidio. Chatting with the server I learned that they used to be in the union square area. If the weather is nice out, sit out in the patio. It's beautiful inside or out, but I prefer outside. The churro was worth every calorie and the tacos were amazing. Service was 5 stars and nothing short.

Food - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Wow! I had a wonderful experience at Colibri. I came in party of 5, 3 of which were celebrating birthdays. Our waitress, Coco, was the absolute sweetest-- very patient offering recommendations. Carajillo - one of the best I've ever had. SO GOOD. And paired nicely with my mole. Mole poblano- beautiful presentation and very delicious. Chicken was cooked perfectly and the mole had the perfect amount of chocolate flavor to it. I mentioned the birthdays to Coco and her and team came with a whole presentation for the birthday crew. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. Great food and friendly staff.

Luckily we got to sit in the back private room where it was quieter than outdoors or the main dining areas. Lots of really beautiful touches throughout the room and we weren't ignored because we weren't in the main dining areas. Many appetizers were shared. You really can't go wrong. I had the birria tacos, really delicious.

YUM!!! Great vibe and great food! We were a little hesitant about the $18 guac- but ended up being soooo worth it! Would for sure go back again. Nice and easy dinner spot!

Never knew there was a Mexican restaurant in the Presidio until a friend chose this place for her birthday dinner. We came on a weekend for dinner and the place was quite popular! Shout out to Jay for his excellent and friendly service! We tried various dishes in our large party and everything was quite good. These are the dishes I had a chance to taste: Shrimp in tamarind sauce: the tamarind gave the shrimp a bit of a tang Braised short ribs: the ribs were tender and moist I recommend this place and parking was very easy for dinner.

This was near the Presidio Officers Club...it was interesting and tasteful..pozole green soup with hominy and Mexican rice..tried it..many people in the crowd..Presidio..nice enough..light dinner. review #1941 1941!!

An update from my last review...I was staying in the area and came here for both lunch and dinner on a Wednesday. The staff were really friendly and hospitable and it feels like they've listened to feedback. The pozole verde I ordered was so so good and flavorful. I will probably order this every time from now on! I tried some of my boyfriend's quesabirria tacos and those were soooo good but I am glad I didn't order them bc they are so filling. The salad I got at lunch was tasty and refreshing and again - they have great non alcoholic drink options.

One of the best mole enchiladas I've ever had! Dog friendly outside! And the service is Always great!

Delicious vegetarian omelette with a side of roasted potatoes and black beans topped with queso - so yummy The egg omelette was perfectly cooked - filled with mushrooms, zucchini, onions, peppers and cheese!! Wonderful waitstaff, ambience and decor. Will definitely be going back again!

WOW... this review was buried in my drafts forever... This place is pretty good. when someone is asking for a Mexican resto recommendation, COLIBRI... when someone is near the presidio, same suggestion... Mexican food isn't my favorite... just because I'm not too fond of some ingredients...well, one ingredient.. CILANTRO... but hey, they are able to accommodate me... that just shows that food is fresh and well thought of.. I always try to get the Chile Relleno (stuffed with chorizo), chips and guacamole, and the queso fundido.... you can have your dishes with freshly made tortilla, or chips... you cant go wrong with either choice... don't forget to pair your food with their cocktails... I always end up ordering something different, depending on my mood, and I have never been disappointed. I usually come here after a morning at the Presidio Tunnel top parks... Great food, great drinks... amazing service. WONDERFUL spot... I've only been here on weekend brunches, so its always a good comfortable meal outdoors... Im seeing a solid 4 star here, but this is definitely a 5 for me... cant wait to come back.

I've been by this place several times and have been meaning to try it. Finally, I was able to eat here with some friends. They have a nice outside dining area. The weather was nice so we sat outside under the umbrella. They do have indoor eating as well. The ambiance was nice and our waitress was great. They do allow dogs in the outdoor area. The location is great because it's walking distance to the tunnel top park and food trucks (in case you get hungry again). Also, the restaurant is right next to a museum (free admission!). The chips and big bowl of guacamole was so good. I could've just eaten the guacamole! This isn't complimentary. Just fyi. I ordered the ensalata mixta. I know I should've ordered a true Mexican dish, than a salad; but I wasn't that hungry. Unfortunately, the salad was just ok. For $14, I've had better salads at other Mexican restaurants; however, my friends ordered non-salad entrees. They loved their food. My margarita was good though. Then again, I have yet to meet a margarita I did t like. I gave this a 3 star based on my salad. It was good but I didn't think it was worth $14; however, I would come back and order something different next time. I would still recommend this place.

I just tried this place out for the first time today and was able to get a table for 4 inside for lunch time on a beautiful Sunday. They have a nice patio outside which was packed but the inside was really nice as well! They only had a brunch menu available but everything was very tasty and it exceeded my expectations. We started with the guacamole which comes with chips and three salsas - this was a plenty big enough portion for 4. I had the sopes which I highly recommend - it works as a lighter entree if you're not starving. The group enjoyed the chicken enchiladas as well as the steak. Had to order rice and beans separately since the enchiladas doesn't come with them. I got a side of the nopales which I would skip next time. Traditional marg was good as was the sangria. Service was friendly! They also have a bar you can sit at and order as well.

Service was horrible. We waited over 2 hours for a table. They looked at us up and down gave us side eyes when we asked why they told us it was going to be a 30 minute wait. Then other family's came asked for a table with no reservations got seated before us with the same amount of people in their group. We felt racially profiled by our own people. And the food was not even good nor authentic. Hope this helps if you guys are looking for Mexican food!

Nice inside and outside dining options. Great bar with unique tequila options. Food style is New Mexican. Nice meal! #spicemeister approved.

This place is divine!!! The ambiance, location, service, and food were the best and cannot be topped! I regret not taking pictures of our food but we ordered the tequila + guava drinks, queso fundido con soyrizo, chile relleno, quesabirria tacos, and the churros. I could have had 10 plates of the queso fundido -- highly recommend this! It also came with tortillas and we asked for chips once we finished the tortillas. The service was great! I believe Javier is the one who helped us and he was so attentive and sweet and so helpful! Will definitely be coming back and SOON!

The food here was absolutely amazing and the service was just as astonishing! Every single dish was absolutely delicious, especially the guacamole and the tostadas and the queso! Everything also came out super fast! Our waiter was super attentive and checked on us multiple times, we ended up staying past opening time and the patiently waited for us to leave and didn't say a word! The environment is also super gorgeous, it's a huge restaurant with a very well decorated outdoor area with heating at every single table, and also a beautiful indoor area! Really enjoyed my experience here and definitely definitely recommend!!

Colibri is an adorable restaurant in the Presidio with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is decorated with cushioned chairs, heat lamps, and greenery. We came here during restaurant week for lunch. We had reservations through Resy, but I think you'd be fine walking in as well. For the food, we ordered the: *tostadas de tinga: the tostada was super crispy and the flavors from the stewed chicken were delicious! *tacos al pastor *flautas de pollo: the tartness from the tomato sauce complemented the chicken filling inside I will say portion size, it was a bit on the smaller side so we did leave feeling slightly less than satiated. The servers were attentive, ready to take our orders, clear dirty plates, and bring us the check. I would come back to sample other items on their menu.

Had lunch here today. Drinks were fresh and delicious. The chips n salsas were tasty too. We had the chicken/es enchiladas, flautas and a chilli relleno. All were delicious and served hot. The server was very nice and came to check in on us. I would definitely come back. Parking out front is $2.50 per hour.

Had a lovely lunch at Colibri. Love the Presidio setting. The patio was so pretty but we decided to sit inside due to wind. The vibe is casual chic, really nice. The menu inflects new ideas on traditional Mexican dishes. I ate a delicious mixed salad with added shrimp. Scrumptious! Enjoyed a pretty cocktail as well. Service was ok, like many places servers are stretched thin. If you aren't in a hurry, the experience was very enjoyable.

a beautiful day on the Presidio full of sunshine and a light breeze. A perfect day for the patio. The service was attentive but not obsequious. The Oaxaca cocktail was awesome! By far my favorite part of the meal. The infusion of habaneros gives it the perfect kick. The guacamole was good with fresh ingredients however the something; rather nondescript. The Panuchos were well seasoned and very delicious with well balanced complex flavor profile. At first I was disappointed with the portion size (there were only 2). Worked out okay given our other dishes. Still think there should have been at least 3. The churros were the disappointment of the meal. Flavoring was good but the churros were hard, dense, and even difficult to cut. I would avoid those and order something else if that is the standard. Overall a good spot and I would return to try some of their other offerings.

Came here this past weekend to celebrate a friend's bday. Luckily we were able to get a reservation same week because it's definitely highly suggested especially for a bigger group. For food we started out with the guacamole. We ordered one spicy and one regular. The main difference for the spicy was the jalapenos. The spicy one was definitely my preference, although it wasn't much different. I think if they did chopped serranos instead of jalapenos it would give it a much needed kick. It also needed some extra salt. Portion size is on the smaller size, really good for 2ppl. It came with chips and salsa, which were tasty and fresh. For my main, I decided to go with the appetizer, queso fundido. This was tasty one and of the best I've had in this part of town. Not sure if it came with tortillas or chips, but I asked for a side of tortillas which was a nice accompaniment for this dish. One recommendation, would be to cut the mushrooms smaller. My friends got the ceviche and enchiladas, both were alright when I took a couple of bites. Drinks here were tasty and average pricing for the city. I went with the mimosa carafe for $45 which was plenty and a standard mimosa. The service left a little bit to be desired but we made it through. Overall, nice place to grab drinks and apps on a nice sunny day in the Presidio.

Colibri Mexican Bistro scored well on all areas: location, parking, ambiance, food, and a heated outdoor patio that is very dog friendly. Its a contemporary take on traditional Mexican favorites and we would highly recommend and will return.

I'm not exactly sure who in our gaggle of 8 chose this place, but we had a great Sunday brunch. "Colibri" translates to "hummingbird". ATMOSPHERE: Located within a former army post turned boujee park, AKA Presidio, the Mexican-inspired bistro features indoor & outdoor seating in a relaxing, rustic setting. RESERVATIONS: Recommended as they were abuzz by the time we left around 1pm. PARKING: Plenty of for-pay lots are nearby. BRUNCH MENU: Mexican-influenced selections including omelets, soups and salad. Nice selection of cocktails, wine and beverages. BEVERAGE: Mojito - $16.00 Rum-based, perfect balance of ingredients with a little fizz. FOOD: Guacamole - $17.00 Oddly, chips didn't come with and commanded $3 more. Regardless, the guac was fresh and tasty, served in molcajete bowls. We got one medium, one spicy. The latter wasn't spicy at all, rating a 1 on a 10 heat scale. Sides of red & green salsa accompanied. Chilaquiles Verdes O Rojos - $20.00 I added carne asada for $8 more and chose "red" sauce. The slices of steak were so flavorful and tender. Being an egg lover, I asked for a third one, over easy. SERVICE: Very cordial and professional. FUN FACT: They used to be located in Union Square for 18 years prior to their move here. OVERALL: Standard fare in an opulent area.

Colorful plates, and a beautiful setting. There aren't a ton of food options in the Presidio and I'm guessing it's not cheap to own a restaurant there, which is probably why the dishes are a little on the pricier end for small plates. The cocktails were solid, and the queso fundido was probably the highlight. Chicken dish was a tad dry but with a tasty light cream sauce. I can't say this was destination dining but I would certainly consider it again if in the area.

Lovely host. Server was attentive and kind. We sat near the fire place which was cozy and relaxing. The food was good. The Albariño is my go to, and was an easy drinker.

Arrived on Fourth of July with 3 friends visiting from Sacramento area. We were able to sit outside right when they opened, beautiful outside area. As the sun rose, they extended a few awnings to help shade all those outside. The food was amazing, some of the best Mexican food I have had in a restaurant setting. I had the flautas with chicken, my friends had the enchiladas, carne asada, and carnitas. We were so full afterwards, the seasoning wasn't over done and meat portions were pretty generous. The waitresses had a really busy day as the whole restaurant began to fill up quickly, but they still managed well and were very attentive.

Interesting location at the former officers club on the Presidio in San Francisco. The drinks were creative and very well done. The menu is interesting and very good flavors. Service was good, particularly for a Monday mid-afternoon. The decor is tasteful Mexican and clean. A great find for us.

Went here twice. First was for lunch with colleagues where the food was delicious and smooth service. The second time was for a large business dinner that we booked in advance and spoke with multiple people about how we would like it to be arranged. The tables were not ready upon our arrival and only one waiter was assigned to the 20 of us, so mistakes were made and service was of course slow. Food was still quite good.

The food is flavorful and well prepared, but the portion sizes are for ants. Gimme a side of rice for crying out loud.

a very quaint spot for quality Mexican food in the Presidio! i had the butter lettuce salad with added chicken -- so yummy!! the chicken was very tender, well-seasoned, and added much-needed protein to what could have been a rather plain salad. the butter lettuce was indeed buttery, i felt so satisfied at the end of the meal. our table also shared the fresh guacamole, not pictured because we pretty much demolished it as soon as it hit the table. watching the guac get made table-side was really cool and taste wise, some of the freshest guac i've had outside of making it myself. would highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area and want a nice meal! their other entrees look very delicious as well, ill be stopping by again once the weather warms up to try more!

Had a wonderfully pleasant Birthday lunch celebration here today....Grand atmosphere both inside and out in the historic Presidio Officers Club! The vibe is inviting...service was attentive and timed well. No rush and our courses were timed nicely to allow us a 2 hour meal. The margaritas were freshly squeezed and elevated in flavor and presentation. We enjoyed the fresh fish ceviche, tortilla chips and fresh salsa varieties, tortilla soup and grilled butter leaf salad. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant in the beautiful Presidio!

Superb outdoor seating in a high-end park-like setting. Pollo poblano was on the well side with moderate portions, mole on point . Everything else looked fantastic. Great festive casual but upper class atmosphere

Colibri Mexican Bistro The thing I loved most about this place was that their carnitas came out in little piggies! Maybe a bit reminiscent of cannibalism but an adorable concept! As mentioned, I got the carnitas, which came with a lot of tasty corn tortillas that we were able to wrap up into our own little tacos. The carnitas was recommended to me by the waiter, and I'm very glad I took his word for it! Their chips and guacamole was delicious, one of the best I've ever had. I finished the entire bowl of guacamole myself! Lastly, the churros were a nice way to complete the dinner. Fresh out the oven, they were delicious and unforgettable! Plenty of parking in the lot, but remember to pay for parking unless it's after 6pm. The service was just as amazing as their food! Next time I'll be back to try their bacon wrapped jumbo prawns!

I waited 20 minutes for a server. He took my order and never saw him again until my food was ready 1 hour later. My food was served slightly below room temperature. I don't understand why I waited so long to get my food while tables around me got theirs way before mine. Was my entrées sitting somewhere? Can you imagine eating cold expensive Mexican food? The portions are appetizer size - not filling at all if you were expecting a full size lunch. Yes, I normally would complain about my food being served cold but somehow, I did not have the "restaurant trust" to do so. Food presentation was good. I ordered the Chile Relleno with chicharrons. Paying extra for chicharrons was not worth it ($28). It was probably a tsp of chicharron bits, like the size of a grain of rice. The Chile Relleno was probably no more than 6 inches. It did not come with chips or tortillas like other Mexican restaurants I patronize. For me, it took about 8 bites to finish. The fish tacos came with 3 tiny ones ($24). One can eat it all in one bite but I ate mine in 2 bites. So basically you are paying $4 a bite. This is the first Mexican restaurant that did not serve complimentary chips, salsa, tortillas, or anything else except for water, especially with entrees. My bill for 2 entrees and a watermelon tea (a little watered down) was over $65 not including gratuities and I was still hungry. I did not expect a casual restaurant inside the Presidio to have fine dining prices. At least at fine dining restaurants, they serve you complimentary bread and the waiter checks in with you regularly. The alcohol drinks look good. Maybe come at happy hour and try this restaurant. Don't expect to get filled. Good for talking and nibbling. Tables are close to each other but you are able to carry on a decent conversation. Atmosphere is warming and comforting. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Remember, not all parking inside the Presidio is free. Double check for parking signs.

I have eaten here twice and both times I enjoyed the vegetarian dishes here. I sat both indoors and outdoors and both types of seating are comfortable and nice. The service is great. I'm not too, too impressive with the sangria or cocktails. They look pretty but are not memorable taste-wise. Highly recommend the guacamole which is made fresh to order. Also the churro dessert and the cheesecake are must tries.

We have been to Colibrì several times since they opened in the Presidio location. It is a fun restaurant with great margaritas, a sense of comfort in the atmosphere, great food and good service. We really like the carnitas, tortillas and most of the appetizers.

We had an incredible dinner here! I haven't been to the space since it was Arguello (right?) but it's beautiful. Staff was lovely. We have never eaten so much guac in one sitting - it was sooooo good. Appreciated the thin chips.. too easy to eat. Fellow yelper Ben literally had a whole guac bowl himself. Then they brought out the rest of the apps. The tostadas - chicken and tuna - were good but outshined by the mains. Surprisingly I was not a huge fan of the salad. The Camarones Rebozo (bacon-wrapped prawns) were so decadent and flavorful. The carnitas was so good and served with pickled veggies to contrast, in the cuties piggy! The mole poblano I tried was also super juicy and delicious. Really enjoyed their sides too of frijoles, estofado, and arroz. I'm almost thankful they ended with caramel cream-stuffed churros which were not my jam (I think I like less sweet and lighter) which meant everyone else could have more - they loved them!

Great seating, the outside is nicely lit at nice. The service was good too, it was my birthday and they gave him a small scoop of ice cream, we thought it was free but it was like 3 bucks... the waiter we had was really sweet tho. The food was amazing tho

Guacamole is a must and the trio of salsa was excellent. I had the carnitas omelette which was very meaty. It was kinda chilly in the patio and we were seated under an umbrella so the heat lamps weren't available. Waiter offered us blankets. Nice touch.

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. The ceviche and guacamole to start we super tasty and I had the pato mole verde, which is one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. The mole verde is creamy without being heavy and the duck was cooked to perfection. It's topped with arugula, a surprising and refreshing supplement to the dish. The servers were really nice and professional. It was a very busy evening, so we did wait a bit between check ins, but not too long. Oh and the cocktails are amazing. Finally the space is really nice, although a bit loud (but again, it was completely packed, so loud but not unreasonably so).

Maybe it was an off night, but the service was incredibly slow, and extremely inattentive. The food was pretty good, but not a lot of range in their vegetarian options. They were not able to serve at least one item on the menu, saying they were out of it around 6pm. Oh, and the noise level was very high and guests were having some difficulty navigating the dining room overcrowded with chairs and tables.

My son and I came in for lunch on Memorial Day. We were there early in the lunch service with a reservation. The restaurant was not full, and there wasn't yet a line of hopeful diners outside the door like most Memorial Days. We ordered drinks, guacamole, and queso, along with two entrees. The guacamole and my son's entree came. The server took away my appetizer plate and then brought back the queso. But, my entree was nowhere to be found. When I asked about it, the server said he would check with the kitchen. He returned to tell me there was a communication problem in the kitchen, and they were making my entree now. "Did you forget to submit the dish?" I asked him. He shuffled his feet and looked at the floor, mumbling the same line about a communication problem in the kitchen, behavior which, to me, seemed like an admission of guilt. Come on, it's okay to make mistakes, but don't throw the rest of your team under the bus! I asked for a small plate so that I could at least enjoy some queso. It never came, so I spread out my napkin like a tablecloth to avoid dripping the queso liquid all over the table. The entree arrived after my son had finished his lunch, so instead of having lunch WITH him, I had lunch IN FRONT of my son. As if all of this wasn't annoying enough, the people at the next table ordered the same thing. They were seated 20 minutes after I was and received their food five minutes after mine finally came. For this disappointment, I got a sheepish apology and an offer to talk to the manager after I paid my bill. Teach your servers to own up to it when they mess up and make it right by buying the patron a drink or a dessert!
