Colibri - OAXACA DE JUÁREZ

This restaurant is located directly opposite the hotel veracruz and has a bar and a live string band on Saturday evenings. great place to try some fancier local cuisine.

Just finished a perfect filet mignon and advise them to the papa all horno (baked kartoffel) a great meal after each standard and will come back when I next to oaxaca. it's before the bus deposit.

Reminds me of an American chain restaurant except that it is definitely Mexican. I found the food good, but not great. The prices were not cheap. I woud not return unless I was taking an ADO from the station across the street.

(Just to be sure we are taliking about the same restaurant: we went for lunch at El Colibrí, on Calzada Niños Héroes, more or less across from the ADO Bus Terminal El Colibrí has a very modern, glass and brick, American feel to it. The...gift shop in the front and the credit card stickers on the door are clues that the meal will not be cheap. There are black-tied, uniformed waiters of indisputable professionality. The overall feeling is of an American upper-middle class restauarant, with Mexican specialties.

We decided on hamburgers accompanied by French Fries and a generous, large pitcher of limonada. The hamburgers and fries were $77 pesos each, (about $5.50 USD at current exchange rates) but we were somewhat staggered when the bill came, and our limonada came in at $99 pesos! 7 USD) But the thick, tasty burgers and nicely browned fries were very good, and the limonada was among the best we'd ever had, so we wrote it off to Experience, and happily paid up. However, we'd be somewhat hesitant to go there again. Although it offers breakfasts, lunches and dinners, the menu seems focused on grilled meats and steaks, and that's always tempting. But I'd be prepared to pay what are essentially mid-range U.S. prices.

Un lugar que se puede calificar como clasico, el ambiente es muy agradable. La comida muy buena y la atención...More
