Try Colibri's if you haven’t already. Just as good or better than Maya’s.

Colibri (438 Geary) makes guacamole at tableside $9

El Huarche Azteca in Oakland. The sopes were about the only thing I liked at Colibri, but those were a more upscale version and probably don’t resemble grandma’s.

As a former Angeleno, I really feel your pain. Avocados even cost more up here. Here are my favorites: Guacamole and fresh tortillas at Colibri on Geary. It’s expensive for guac ($9), but they actually do make the tortillas...

I really like Colibri, a Mexican Bistro (upscale, NOT a taqueria) on Geary/Taylor. They have the best tableside mixed guacamole + handmade tortillas I’ve had in SF. Everyone I’ve taken there is impressed by the guac...

Kulletos (sp?) Ponzu Millenium (for vegan) Cortez Colibri Scala

Not a bar only, but Colibri Mexican Bistro, on Geary btwn Mason & Taylor, seems to have quite a selection. Link: http://www.colibrimexicanbistro.com/

The only place that comes to mind in that location/price range is Colibri's Mexican Bistro. This is high end Mexican food. They are right by union square. I prefer Cortez a few blocks up; however, unless you share a bunch of...

I recall someone commenting on this board about a year ago or so about a tasty tail at Colibri made with Hangar One Chipotle vodka. Unfortunately, the bar menu on their website is not working to see if they have anything else as...

French bistro called Anjou... it’s relatively quiet, and very good food. Colibri is great Mexican (not Tex-Mex, but more central Mexican), but again a bit loud. Cortez is a small plates restaurant that’s trendy,...

Any particular type of food (or budget, or ambiance)? Within walking distance, I like: Fino (624 Post) - solid, home-style Italian American Sanraku (704 Sutter) - good, neighborhood Japanese Colibri (Geary) - trendy, central Mexican...

around. Just be prepared to leave smelling of curry and naan! Colibri offers upscale Mexican in a fun environment. If you’re up for a little walk or bus ride, Saha over on Sutter offers some really delicious Arabic fusion.

I think Colibri might count as upscale Mexican. Any SF Hounds care to comment?

on Sundays (you can scroll down in the right column): http://www.bcnrestaurantes.com/lista-domingo.asp?domingo=domingo I’ve heard good things about Colibri. I think they are only open for lunch on Sunday: Colibri Carrer de...

Colibri on Geary/Taylor. You can see the person madly making tortillas in the semi-open kitchen. According to my friend from Central Mexico, the lady we saw was FAST. The tortillas are soft, warm, and all you can eat if you order...
