I was working at the construction site next door and wanted to treat my team for lunch, I sat down about an hour before open for a webinar and the bartender was so nice and checked in on me and finally got the server to serve me, with out him she wouldn’t have even acknowledged me! All while she stopped by twice that’s it and I didn’t even get to order food! She ignored me because I had two construction guys sitting with me which happened to be my boss of my company and he was so hungry he ended up leaving. This was a huge embarrassment seeing as that we had amazing service last time. I left hungry and frustrated because I used to serve at universal and Disney and would NEVER have let the thought to treat a paying customer this way.

Colibri has been very good to my wife and I as not only vegans, but also as late night eaters due to our busy work/school schedules over the last year. The food is not necessary the best Mexican I have ever had, but it is definitely in my top 5 for quality food. We have only probably ever had one on-par/not great service experience here, but it happens, we are all human.
3.5/5 The Service:
I have read many complaints about poor service here and we have yet to experience any. Yes, there were times when Colibri is jam packed with people and we have to wait a little longer for this and that, but besides one unusual night, we have never felt neglected as customers. There are times when we have to wait for refills, but the wait is never astronomical or unreasonable. It is not that the waitstaff is bad, it is the way the staff is distributed among the crowd. We have noted that our waitress will be working with us in the front corner, then running across the restaurant to wait on a table at the window, then she will disappear outside for a few minutes. I do not know what management is thinking assigning tables like this, but it would be much more efficient if one waiter/waitress would get a block of tables in one area. To recap, any less-than-stellar service we have gotten has only ever been during a packed house and specifically due to the attention of the waitstaff having to be spread across a large area rather than concentrated in force.
4.5/5 The Atmosphere:
I find the atmosphere charming and my wife absolutely loves it! For holidays, Colibri always decorates with very nice decorations which switches it up. The music is occasionally too loud for our taste, but it was never something that ruined a night for us. The booths are comfortable and eating outside is great when the Florida weather is cooperating.
4.0/5 The Food:
I will not lie, my wife and I get the exact same thing every time we eat at Colibri:
-Veggie Fajita with black beans, no Mushrooms, cheese, or sour cream.
-Extra set of flour tortillas.
-Extra side of Mexican rice.
-A side of homemade habanero salsa and lots and lots of fresh regular salsa.
Honestly, we really like the fajita. Colibri does not cheap out and just give green bell peppers. The veggies include onions, green bells, mushrooms, carrots, and red bell peppers! Ask anyone who knows us and they will tell you that we love red bell peppers, so Colibri gets a +1 for that. We do wish that they would do some broccoli and/or zucchini, but we are generally happy with the food. Most of the time, I would rate about 85% of the time the vegetables are cooked perfectly with not too much oil, but there are times when there is just a little too much cooking oil for our tastes. The black beans are much, much better than the refried so go for those and the salsa is spectacular. There are times I just go and order the fajita so I can eat a few baskets of fresh chips and salsa.
Overall, Colibri is a great little Mexican restaurant. The service for us has always been generally good, I just recommend trying to go there not during your typical weekend dinner rush if you are picky about service. The atmosphere is cute and well done. Most importantly, the food is solid and consistently tasty even for us vegans and they are open until 9:30-10:00 pm most nights allowing us to eat late if our classes or work gets out late.
Lastly, to the management of Colibri:
Please review your waitstaff assignment policies. I really believe that the restaurant will run much more smoothly if an employee just has to worry about a little square of 4-8 tables rather than running all over the place. Thank you

Awesome place. Service is a bit slow but the staff is very friendly and the food was really good. The drinks were good too. I will be coming back.

Good food, nice atmosphere. Sits on a lake with inside and outside, shaded tables. This sits in the redone section of Baldwin Park, Orlando. For those who don’t know this is the old navy base training property. The area is very nice. Celebration Florida like.

Nice looking restaurant, nice location but was not really impressed with the food. We had a large party so I was able to try a bunch of different dishes. Fajitas portion was good but it didn't come out too hot. It also didn't include cheese or lettuce. Tacos Al pastor were missing some fresh pineapple which I would have expected for the traditional prep of this dish. Enchiladas and burritos came out almost cold and server didn't seem to concerned about it. Queso also was kind of bland or tasteless and the added meat (that came on the side) was cold. Finally the taste and especially the preparation/display on the sangria was pretty harsh. I think there's potential here but I don't think it'll survive in this prime (and probably expensive) location without upping their game a couple levels.
