Colibri Mexican Bistro

In the heart of Theater District, this unpretentious restaurant serves fresh Central Mexican fare with French/Spanish influences culled from family recipes passed down to owners Eduardo and Sylvia Rallo. The selection includes brilliant tortilla soup, tamarind-sauteed shrimp served with corn cakes, and a fire-roasted chile relleno that will have you raving before you put down your fork. Classic sauces like moles and a creamy guajillo chile sauce, and flavors like the Mexican herb epazote play a huge part in accentuating every dish. For starters, don't miss the fresh guacamole, prepared tableside.
