I went to Los Colibris on Thursday night with a group of 4. The Restaurant is larger than I thought with an entire hidden second half. Surprisingly it was only half full.
The service was excellent. Our guac came out within 1 minute of ordering it. Our server was extremely friendly and knowledgable.
The food was, for the most part, fantastic. Los Colibris takes traditional Mexican flavours and transforms them into complex, imaginative dishes.
We had:
Guacamole - 5/5 WOW! Not your typical guac. It was heavy on the citrus and topped with pomegranates. I loved that there were taro chips along with the corn chips.
El Golondrino - 5/5 OMG YUM! This is a lamb tamale. A perfect blend of chewy textures and sweet flavours. I highly recommend this dish. All 4 of us loved it.
Ensalada de Betabel - 4/5 this salad has beets, carrot, lettuce and guava. It's refreshing with a tangy herb that I couldn't place but really enjoyed.
Chilies en Nogada - 4/5 I loved the presentation and the depth of this dish. Also loved the cinnamon.
Gallina de Chocolate - 5/5 best chicken with mole I've had.
El Jardin de Wookie - 5/5 a huge portion of seasoned grilled veggies in 2 delicious sauces.
Where they fell short was the Rajas poblanas which to me tasted exactly the like the Tostidos spinach dip. It was really nothing special 1/5
and the desert:
Tres Leches - 2/5 a coconuty moist cake with some lemon sorbet which I thought was okay but another person in the group found jarring. I really didn't care for the mushy texture of this dish. Nobody ate more than a spoonful.
I will definitely return to Los Colibris next time I feel like Mexican and highly recommend it to anyone who wants an unusual and delicious dining experience.
