Time Out San Francisco

Check out this unpretentious restaurant that serves fresh Central Mexican fare with French/Spanish influences. Don't miss the fresh guacamole , prepared tableside. Read more

Awesome food and yes it's Mexican but it's more than tacos and enchiladas . Don't get chips and guacamole . Free salsa and fresh tortillas are delicious. Duck with green mole was amazing.

Time Out San Francisco

Brilliant tortilla soup , tamarind-sautéed shrimp served with corn cakes , and a fire-roasted chile relleno that will have you raving almost before you put down your fork. Read more

Pippilotta Trousdale

The Churros desert is one of the best desserts in The City . I was thrilled that they were still hot. And the chilly vanilla ice cream pairs well in this treat.

Jeremy C

Definitely worth a stop. Try the fresh guac with three salsas and ask for it mild unless you really dig spicey food. Small, fun bar and just 2 blocks from Union Square.

Jonathan Cole

The eggs Benedict was delicious it was on a corn tortilla tasting muffin with chipotle hollandaise , the TiVo was a delicious omelet , it was like a burrito but in eggs not tortilla . Yum!

Pippilotta Trousdale

The guacamole is a must: who cares about the price. It's freshly made as are the tortillas and the three hot sauces are a great compliment.

Erin Doyle

I'm in town for work and this place was recommended to me by a friend. I did take out after a long day and wasn't disappointed. Maybe the best mole I've ever had.

Darren Leeds

We booked a table online. The food was great and reasonably priced. Service was excellent too! Some investment in the male restrooms would have made the experience just perfect!

Lane Rettig

Soft corn tortillas are delicious. The mole poblano was a little off, not really what I was expecting, but the crab enchiladas (the special) was fantastic!

The Corcoran Group

Unexpected, surprising and very popular Mexican bistro . Try the Macho Margarita , the table-service Guacamole , the Mole Poblano and Chile Relleno . Make reservations !

Lesley K

The cocktails here are tasty & refreshing, made of delicious fresh ingredients . The food good too. I prefer sitting up front or at the bar and enjoying the fun atmosphere .

Oscar L

Food is exceptional. Queso con chorizo , fillet mignon (!!) and the mole chicken were incredible. The service drops the overall value of this place.

James Hahn

Carnitas was really good. The tortilla and chips . We're good. Tamales were boo! The fillings were non existance in them. Over all cool spot.

Alex Bunch

Absolutely amazing Mexican Food . Perfect margaritas with over 150 or so tequilas to choose from, home-made corn tortillas that are the best I've ever had in a restaurant , killer table-side Guac...real

Deva O'Donnell

All 3 times I've been here the service has been slow. Don't come if in a hurry, but the food is great. I'm a fan of their queso fundido and the ensalada de betabeles

Jenna Talia

If you ever travel to San Francisco, you have to try the best gourmet Mexican food offered by Colibri. It's a great place to go on a date or enjoy fine dining . Specially their Carnitas plate .

Pratik Rathod

Great food, made fresh. If you're adventurous, ask for the chef 's special hot salsa . If you're vegetarian , try the chile relleno - I dare you not to be amazed.

Carlos Ochoa

It might be the best Mexican place on town . Ask for the enchiladas . Trust me, I'm Mexican

Bryson Webster

My favorite part was the tortillas , they are amazing. I would also give the carnitas a solid B+.

Rob Garrett

Meet Jesus at the bar . Great personality and great guy. Knows his liquors . Try the Mango Creme Brûlée . Possibly the best Creme Brûlée ever. Prices here are very reasonable.

Danielle Pierce

The pork chili relleno is excellent. Amazing handmade tortillas are so yum I wanted to smuggle the extras in my purse .

Burak Fenercioglu

We loved fish tacos ...

C H

Great mole and great guacamole with incredible homemade corn tortillas

Gina Blancarte-Millard

The huevos rancheros is yummy and don't forget the guac...scrumptious w/their homemade tortillas

Jennifer Katsumi

Must order the gaucamole! Veggies : I more than enjoyed the chile relleno , stuffed w/ veggies on a pureed blk bean sauce! Outstanding meal and efficient staff ! :)

Dana

Authentic guacamole , tingas , sopes , margaritas . Absolutely recommended.

Jake Guttormsson

The carnitas were delicious!

Keri Corfield

Chile relleno stuffed with pork is delish! I loved the mango salsa !

Chris Sinkus

Adrian Hernandez is a true artist mixologist . The food is great and the drinks are unbelievable. Over 400 tequilas The Macho Margarita is an out of this world experience

Gillian M.

Follow them on Twitter/FB... they have great discounts that aren't advertised in the restaurant or anywhere else, including half-priced wine on Wednesdays!

Chrystal Fairbanks

Gotta try the tortilla soup...really yummy! And the dulce de leche icecream with churros so good!

Claire Callanan

Try the months special! always a good option!

Laura P

Come for bottomless brunch - stay for the delicious salsa and dishes.

Annette Shade

Fabulous! Sit at the bar where Jared will share his tequilla expertise and offer great menu recommendations... pineapple margharita and filet mignon with goat cheese stuffed pepper ... Delicious!!

Gabe Gilligan

Never had a bad meal here. Don't be surprised when it gets busy.

Sophie Hebdidge

Gaucomole was great. I loved the summer flower salad .

Bryson Webster

The tortillas are amazing. The tortilla soup is just alright. The carnitas were really good.

Lisa W

Try a margarita made with Tequila Revolucion Reposado tequila....Phenomenal!!

Sophie Hebdidge

Guacamole and summer flower salad were amazing

Rachel Levy

Portions are pretty small, especially considering the cost ($18+ entrees). Guess that's the Union Square effect. Guac & churros both quite tasty.

Brian

Mole and guacamole and salmon

Marcel Volker

Get yourself more than one of their excellent specialty Margaritas and taste the difference between them!

Jane Chu

The food is decent, but it's worth the trip just for the churros dessert and the cocktails . AMAZING!

Kylie

Tableside guacamole and margaritas - what more could you want out of life?

David Scherer

The tortilla soup is excellent. Great way to start your meal, esp if you're from out of town and not used to the cold weather at night

Ryan Bogusz

Torta De Elote, corn bread , is to die for!

Carlos Arnais

Mach Margaritas were great ! Enjoy the Guacamole with chips before your dinner .

Jessica Pugliese

The carnitas entree was underwhelming. It was lacking the unctuousness you expect from carnitas and was under seasoned. Not a total miss, but disappointing. HOWEVER the salsa and guac are KILLER.

Alfonso Da Fonseca

Order their tortilla soup , the panuchos de cochinita , and a tequila flight. All excellent choices!
