We ordered a few bevy's and snacked on some delicious chips and salsa while we waited for dinner. We were asked if we wanted guacamole, which we said yes, and later found out the 5oz of guac was $12. We ordered the enchiladas mexicanas, habanero enchiladas, and carne asada tacos. My enchiladas mexicanas were soft and had excellent flavor, but could've used a bit more enchilada sauce. Lastly, a man checked our IDs at the table, a lady took our order, a different lady brought our food, and a different lady cleared our plates and asked how we wanted our checks to be split. It was hard to tell who our server actually was and who I was tipping. Overall a cool and authentic place!

READ THIS. I'm very excited to tell you this horrible story pleaseeeee read it. Just to let you…read moreknow the waiter was rude from the moment we walked in.So I came into this restaurant with my old friend to have some yummy food and we sat down. My friend asked for a frozen margarita but the waiter in a very rude way said we don't do that here. Whatever. Very rude and upset my friend. We did have plans after this so we were excited to get our food ordered but this waiter decided to ignore us for a good 20 mins before FINALLY taking our order (place was not very busy) and before he did he'd periodically walk by and glare at us. Ridiculous. When we got the food I took a bite of the hatch chilli rellono (I'm bad at spelling) which was NOT advertised as being spicy. But I myself like spicy things so it wouldn't have been an issue except when I took a bite of one of the two and it BURNED. This dish was not supposed to be spicy at all. It was bad and I had to spit it out. Very spicy as in bad. My stomach hurt a lot from the extreme ness. Meanwhile my friend was confused. She ate the whole one she had been eating then went on to finish mine thinking I was crazy for my reaction. She took a bite and was surprised very much by the spiciness!!!! Her stomach hurt a lot too. So for some reason there was a hot spot. Sabatoge? I'm not against it as when the waiter came back and we told him the story he didn't look shocked at all and even hid a laugh. HORRIBLE. But the non spicy one was good said my friend. I'll never know. Come here at your own risk. Not to mention how hot it was when they had a perfectly fine working ac. The food left us sick for hours. 3/10 ( I gave three since the non sabatoged one was good)

I have been to this spot I believe two other times when different restaurants were in this…read moreparticular space but my last time here was my first time since Colibrí Mexican Kitchen has been here. It was an excellent return (to the space) and what a great meal we had here. It was such a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience that I am going to drop a five star score. Colibrí is Hummingbird in Spanish and we figured that out fairly quickly in addition to the signage and saw this particular bird. It's also one of our favorite birds that come around our house. We were pondering if we wanted appetizers but we held off and went straight to drinks and a meal when it came to ordering. I got the absolutely fantastic Enchiladas Colibrí with ground beef. This was a trio enchilada plate in which each enchilada is in different sauces. One has a green sauce, another a red sauce and another was in a molé sauce. All three enchiladas were absolutely delicious as well as all three of the sauces. Ingredients tasted fresh and the flavors had a great "personality " to them. It was a great choice to get. My plate also came with rice and beans. When it was put before me I was wondering if I was going to be able to eat it all but I did and was feeling just right. For dessert we had a great tasting flan. Whenever we are in a Mexican restaurant and a flan opportunity arises Steve often time seizes the opportunity to get an order. It too was quite good and a great finish to the meal. I also got their Cucumber Margarita which was very refreshing and the Cucumber essence was a great fit to the rest of the meal. The Tajín rim was a wonderful touch to the drink. Very, very good meal and nice, friendly service gives Colibrí a five star score with ease.

The restaurant was small but there were outdoor seatings to accommodate the crowds. Parking can be tricky, but we were able to get one without any issues. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly worker who took our order. Glancing at the menu, we knew what to order. We decided to try their carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos. For drinks, we decided to get the strawberry horchata and Mexican coke. I really enjoyed their strawberry horchata as it tasted like a strawberry shortcake. They have a coconut flavor one which I might try next time. After ordering, we grabbed a table by the salsa bar. I like how the salsa bar is self-served so you can have unlimited toppings. Overall, the tacos came out fast and were bomb! They give you a lot of meats on each tacos. Did I mention the meats were high quality? I guess that justified the cost. The meats were nicely charred flavor. Very similar to how they grilled their meats at their other location. I will for sure be coming back for the good food and vibes!

If you know, you know Sonora Carne Asada House is that kind of spot…read more The place itself is small, but don't let that fool you. It's a hidden gem with big flavor. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, greeting you with a smile every time. There are plenty of options to choose from, and the portions are solid they're not skimpy at all. The meats are juicy and full of flavor, and the tripas are cooked perfectly crispy, just how they should be. They also have a great sauce and toppings area with lots of choices, so you can customize everything exactly how you like it. Plus, they even offer bone marrow, which you don't see everywhere. Overall, this is easily the best taco spot in the area in my opinion. Definitely a go-to if you're craving good tacos

What really sold me was the Cheesy Birria Tacos that I spotted while checking out the menu and so I knew pretty much exactly what I was going to order upon arrival. And that was indeed what I got and they were excellent! The beef that was the specific meat in the taco (Birria can also be goat or lamb) and was absolutely wonderful. The cheese and the crunchy tacos rounded out this small lunch quite nicely and was very satisfying. There was a red sauce in a cup that came with my three tacos in which I dipped the tacos into it which added to the pleasant spicy heat. These tacos I highly recommend and they also have other menu options that look quite promising as well. I can't wait to go back!

cute neighborhood spot for breakfast or lunch in the greenlake vicinity…read more the menu has a pretty even mix of mexican and traditional american breakfast fare but i was drawn in by the plantains so ordered katracho minus the chorizo (they grilled some tomatoes for me as a substitute.) they were fairly busy for a sunday morning and one observation i had when the food came to the table was the differing temperatures of items. my eggs were not hot but the plantains were, indicating some things had been sitting around while others had been recently prepared. the beans were in a small cup in the middle and had good flavor but also lukewarm. i didn't expect everything listed in the menu to be cut and arranged around the plate as it was. this dish had a toast or coffee cake side order and opted for sourdough; there was raspberry freezer jam on the take. taste-wise the dish was good and the service was fine. all in all, while it wasn't a standout experience it was totally acceptable on a number of levels and others appeared to be enjoying the location's offerings as well.

All street parking was full for blocks so we parked a few blocks away and walked. Only when we entered did we notice they validate parking for restaurant guests at the nearby parking garage. We were there in time for evening happy hour and they had a lot of choices for food and drink but to be honest, I thought the prices for happy hour were not that cheap and compared to other restaurants. Our server did a great job answering our questions and bringing out our food and drinks. We ordered zucchini fries and nachos. The zucchini fries were delicious and perfectly crunchy with the batter on top. We really enjoyed those. The nachos were flavorful too but the cheese wasn't what we were expecting. It was a green chili queso but it seemed very runny vs a thicker cheese. It was still delicious but just something different than we expected.

Food came out quickly. Our server was very friendly as well. Checked up on us often and was very warm. We ordered a couple drinks. They were solid and got me a bit tipsy lol. We ordered queso fries as our appetizer. It was my favorite thing we ate there. Fries were warm, crunchy, and soft in the inside. The sauce and meat tasted great too. We also ordered corn dogs off the happy hour menu - the cornbread around the dog itself was thinner than I'm used to in a normal corn dog, which I liked! It was a good bread to meat ratio and the sauce was excellent. For our main, we got the bang bang burrito and the birria tacos. The burrito was delicious. Super flavorful and the side salad was good too. Loved the dressing. The birria tacos were not the best I've ever had. The tacos themselves were good, and the side of beans was solid. Just the consommé was very oily. Very enjoyable experience overall. Definitely would return.
