Day 90: Colibri Mexican Bistro

After the berating I took over not visiting Tortilla Heights soon enough after an as of yet anonymous Daily Taco poster suggested eating there, I decided it would be smart to take action to visit said posters restaurant suggestions with a more urgent determination in the future. My first opportunity arrived with a comment Monday claiming that a restaurant named Colibri Mexican Bistro was, and I quote, "Yumm YummMay!" I researched the location of the afforementioned "Bistro," and planned my Wednesday around making my way to Geary and Mason to experience what "Yumm YummMay" fully entailed. Upon first impression, this place. Looked like it had the potential to be great. we were seated be a man with a strong spanish accent, and immediately provided with a tray of 3 different salsas, and, in lieu of chips, a steaming pouch of fresh little corn tortillas. what a spectacular curve to throw at conventional American taqueria expectations. Freshly made Guac arrived next in a stone moarter, and was creamy, spicy, and all around top notch. After perusing the extensive menu, carnitas and shrimp won the battle to anchor our tacos. A fresh tortilla, some black beans, a little carnitas, a tasty shrimp, salsa, and guacamole combined to create a sublime taco eating experience. Who ever keeps anonymously recommending these great taco joints, please reveal you true identity and claim your proper place in the Daily Taco pantheon (or at least keep up the good work), because Colibri ranks high in the Daily Taco's estemmed opinion!!!
