About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Colibri Mexican Bistro was born out of owners Eduardo & Sylvia Rallo’s longing to share the same Central Mexican dishes they grew up eating. With each bite, you’ll find that our menu combines the simplicity of authentic family recipes with fresh ingredients — bringing our guests a taste of unparalleled cuisine rich in flavor, texture, and tradition. It’s this same tradition that keeps both San Francisco locals and tourists coming back to our charming turn-of-the-century cantina eatery. Now located in the historic Presidio, we warmly welcome you for a memorable dining experience.

Pre-theatre lunch - very convenient to the Curran. Love the food here and friendly staff. Restaurant was full including a large party which made it very noisy.

Food is always great at this restaurant but service can be spotty. Server did not remember our order correctly and it was hard to get her attention when we needed something.
