Okay, people, listen up! If you're looking for a fiesta in your mouth and a party for your soul, you HAVE to go to Kiko's! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is electric – it's like a constant celebration! And the food? Oh. My. Goodness. The tacos are seriously legendary – perfectly seasoned, piled high with deliciousness, and gone in about 60 seconds flat. But the real star of the show? The mole. Rich, complex, and utterly unforgettable. Seriously, I could bathe in that stuff. If you're not having fun here, you're doing it wrong. Go. Now! P.S. Love the birthday celebrations!!

The food was very good, the atmosphere was not high either, but the place charges 20% for the service and also taxes. In short, it is a good atmosphere and good food. I loved coming here, I highly recommend it. You can have a great time here, you won't regret it. We will definitely come back again.

Great place. Food was good. Waitress was nice, friendly and knew what she was doing but didn't really check on us. The frozen margarita was fantastic. Reasonable prices.

Kiko's is an artistically brilliant Mexican Restaurant with a very pleasing atmosphere. We were sat immediately by a friendly hostess. Our server approached us promptly with a beautiful smile and happy attitude. Our drinks and chips and salsa were brought to us right away - our food was served fast, fresh, and hot. I had the chicken flautas as listed in the menu and they were hot and crisp. The rice and beans typically aren't something I favor, but I ate everything! My husband had the enchiladas (red) with modifications, and they came through on everything. We also were able to witness a birthday celebration, which was a real treat! We did not order any drinks from the bar this time, but my horchata was delicious and the bar drinks that we did see looked amazing, one can only imagine the way they tasted. We will visit again.

This place was amazing. The food was very delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were very responsive and courteous, and the atmosphere was very upbeat and positive. 10 out of 10 highly recommend. The only thing I would add is that parking can be hard to find during peak hours.

I'm glad I went into Kiko's. The service was great and the street tacos were well made and filled completely. I was greeted with tortilla chips and two type of salsa, both were flavorful without being overly spiced. It felt open and inviting with tasteful decor.
