| - I'll have to admit, I didn't have big expectations coming into this place, but I really liked Los Colibris. Being in the entertainment district where most restaurants are tourist-focused, I really didn't think it was going to be as good as it was. I dined with 5 other people and everyone was quite happy with their meal and the service provided.
I ordered the following:
El Golondrino: rice tamal, lamb mixiote, chipotle-ancho adobo sauce, queso de hoja, salsa verde cruda
This was an excellent dish - I would definitely recommend it. The lamb literally would melt in your mouth. I suggest adding the hot sauce that accompanies it - spicy but flavourful...
My dinner companions ordered the below items and all had very positive things to say about them:
Chipotle Arrachera con Frijoles - chipotle marinated flat iron steak, pico de gallo, refried black beans, chorizo sausage, handmade corn tortillas
El Jardin de Wookie - roasted seasonal vegetables in tlatonile and mole sauces
Pescado en Pipian Rojo y Berros - daily whole fish (served filleted), pipian rojo, pickled beets, celery root, watercress and crispy papas bravas
Additionally, their guacamole was really good as well...
