| - Los Colibris is definitely a cut above any Mexican restaurant in Toronto!
I had a lovely dinner with a friend on a blustery Wednesday night in April. I started with a superb Marguerita and we shared 4 appetizers so we could try many of the items on the menu. The Guacamole was perfection and served with taro and corn chips made in-house. The Empanada of the day was chicken - the serving was generous, but it was my least favourite item that we ordered. All the ceviches sounded great, so we ordered the Ceviche Tamarindo (on the waiter's recommendation) and it was beautifully presented and tasted AMAZING. The Ensalada de Col Rizada was unique and delicious. And finally ... the Torta de Elote was a dish I was unfamiliar with, but thought was melt in your mouth delicious.
The restaurant has a couple of "private rooms" for business or parties. On the night we were there, one of the parties hired an amazing mariachi band that we enjoyed.
The service was amazing from start to finish. The Hostess was polite, accommodating and gorgeous. Our waiter was attentive - not overbearing and never rushed us - which I really appreciate. Several (maybe 3) servers brought our many dishes to the table.
After we finished our dinner, a lovely woman (I do not know whether she is the Manger) came by to ask if it was our first visit, if we enjoyed the food, etc. We had a brief chat and as we were first-timers, she offered to pay for our shared dessert. We ordered the Buñuelos (hazelnut pecan rum-cake, peanuts, guava and dulce de leche ice creams) which was a perfect, not too sweet dessert to accompany the perfect espresso.
I was very impressed with the restaurant and will definitely be back soon to share it with more friends and business colleagues.
