On a beautiful, sunny day, we sat outside, making lunch much more enjoyable. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the fresh lemonade and aguas frescas were refreshing. They recommended the guacamole, and it was excellent.

Great spot at tunnel tops… good atmosphere, good to grab a drink and get some good Mexican food. I enjoyed the mole, my partner had the Tinga but would say it was ok nothing exceptional about it. Looked like that had a good happy hour so might try it out the next time for some of cocktails.

lovely place with beautiful outdoor seating. food was good. service not so much. we waited 15 minutes after seating and never was greeted... no water or anything. we had to go find someone to serve us. once he came, no apology but he was nice. but still not very attentive after that.

After walking from the Ecology Trail to the Golden Gate Bridge, Colibri was the perfect spot for a late lunch. The plantains, chile relleno, and butter lettuce salad were fresh and flavorful. Loved sitting outside and the service was excellent—just what we needed after a long walk.

I love the location of this place. Walked around the park, then got dinner here with some friends. The Presidio is beautiful! Pretty easy to get a reservation. They have a nice outdoor area with heat lamps but we decided to eat inside. Drinks and food a bit pricey for what it is. My punch drink was good but mostly ice. My birria tacos were $30 and only had 3 on the plate. That’s $10 a taco!! Not worth it. I expected at least 4. They tasted good, flavor excellent but way too expensive. Everyone liked their food it was just too expensive for what it is. Nice atmosphere though! Service friendly but slow.
