Sopes surtidos – Colibri Mexican Bistro
Sope assortment with beans, chicken, shredded pork and sauteed vegetables with crumbled queso fresco, onion and sour cream. $12
Colibri Mexican Bistro, San Francisco CA
These sopes were clunky and looked unappetizing, but they were actually pretty good! They each tasted very different so it was a nice plate of flavors to begin the meal.

Wow, this was delicious! The broth was fairly light, but packed with flavor. The poached lobster was delicate and perfectly prepared. Noms!
House-made sourdough – Californios
With cultured butter. NYE tasting menu $175
Californios, San Francisco CA
This bread was pretty amazing! It had a hard crust, but the interior was soft and fluffy. It had a wonderful sour taste and was even better bathed in the cultured butter.
Frijoles – Californios
Three bean soup, shaved white truffle. NYE tasting menu $175
Californios, San Francisco CA
This blew me away! Ok, ok it’s a bean soup, but really it’s been elevated to something much more. It was wonderful to experience the three kinds of beans in such different ways. And the white truffle just put this dish over the top. Noms!

Omg, this was some melt-in-your-mouth tuna! Your really didn’t need to use any of the condiments but they were fun and definitely changed the experience of each bite.
Beef enchilada – Tropisueno
Topped with mole sauce and queso fresco. $4.50
Tropisueno, San Francisco CA
I do like the mole sauce at Tropisueno. It has a nice deep flavor without being bitter. Their a la carte enchiladas are definitely on the small side, but I just fill up on their complimentary chips and salsa anyway. Hehe!
Carne asada super nachos – Taqueria Vallarta
Refried beans, avocado, cheese, jalapenos and our cream. $9.25
Taqueria Vallarta, San Francisco CA
I think these nachos were just ok. The grilled beef was a bit dry and tough. Perhaps it was because I got these to go and by the time I got home, the tortilla chips were pretty soggy and the cheese was already congealed.
Spicy chicken, garlic prawns & carne asada enchilada – Pancho Villa
With rice, beans, salad and tortillas. #6 dinner combo $14
Pancho Villa, San Francisco CA
This was SO much food! The best part were the garlic prawns. They had so much flavor and came with mixed vegetables. The spicy chicken wasn’t very spicy and it was dry. I wish the enchilada had more sauce on top.

Two enchiladas filled with grilled chicken, cheese, queso fresco, grilled onions and poblano peppers, served with refried pinto beans, Mexican rice and topped with red sauce, sour cream, chopped onions and cilantro, add guacamole. $12.45
The Little Chihuahua, San Francisco CA
I like the food at The Little Chihuahua. The ingredients tend to be of good quality and the flavors are there. I must say that their red sauce is pretty yummy especially with additional salsa mixed in from their salsa bar. 🙂
