We loved the menu at colibrí which had tons of very different options including many steaks and vegetarian options. Everything we had was excellent. Definitely one of the best places we've eaten in Nicaragua. It's a little more expensive, but no more than the places on the beach and has way better food. We're only here a week but we... More

Great Mediterranean place right near the house we rented. Very charming patio seating. Great for groups or a romantic date.

We ate supper here recently and really enjoyed the place. My wife had the kabob entree and we were both impressed. I ordered the filet mignon, but was disappointed with the cut of beef. Not what I consider a filet cut. The taste was still very good as was all of our sides. The ambiance/atmosphere is perfect for couples and... More

This is a great restaurant with great food and great service. I've never been disappointed when I came here. The prices are great considering the atmosphere and the food. Get the sangria. It's tasty.

The food here is wonderful, the service even better. The menu is simple, but there is something for everyone. There are quite a few vegetarian options as well, which is important to me. The prices are more than reasonable; we paid less than 50 bucks, including tips for two appetizers, bottled water, wine, beer and three main courses. I'd highly... More

I have eaten many times in Colibri. The food is awesome and inexpensive. I have taken friends there who are always blown away. You can get vegetarian and meat dishes. There is a middle eastern flavor. The atmosphere is relaxed and beautiful. I eat here almost every time I come to san Juan del Sur.

This place had some good food. We ate here twice and had steak once and meat balls once. I would say the meat balls were so so, and the steak was great. Service was on point

Great place, service is great w/ waiters really going out of their way to be attentive ... Wonderful! My wifes chicken curry was two thumbs up, my falafel plate wasn't quite up to expectations - but then again we are a long ways away from Tel Aviv and NYC. Lovely ambiance, great service and yummy food makes this one of... More

We really enjoyed the food. The salads were great, the humus and bruchetta are unique and yummy, the spanish meatballs were amazing. Of course the food is not Nic food, but it is sure good! The patio area where you are seated is really pretty, and you would not know you are in the middle of town.

I had dinner there one night! the food was really good. Granted I didn't like my dish that I had, but I loved what my friend ordered. The service was very good. They told us what type of wait time for the food so we would know what to expect. The crowd was nice and relaxed.
