San Francisco--Colibri

     Last month my family and I went to San Francisco and the Napa Valley. This was more of a food trip than a wine trip. We chose this destination since we had reservations for the French Laundry Holiday Party. We stayed at the Hotel Nikko in union square--very nice suite--we had stayed earlier at a Hotel Nikko in Niigata, Japan.

    First meal we had was at Colibri--great Mexican food withing walking distance from the hotel. They had the BEST guacamole I ever had--there were scallions, tomatoes, and garlic in it. The vegetables were so crunchy. I had the carnitas--ode to Art. They were stunning.

Kim had the Mole de Pato and it was great. The myriad of spices in the chocolate based mole was great.
