Glad I tried it, but not worth the hype. Price I’m not the only one bothered by the price, judging by other reviews. For the size of the tacos, it’s expensive. I’ve seen recent pictures of the menu and the prices just keep creeping up. Atmosphere It’s a food truck on the side of the road. They have 3 tables and a tiny but of shade. Service They confused my order a bit, but otherwise it’s good. Food The Saturday special - shrimp and New York steak taco with cheese and bacon and avocado was very good. The fried shrimp taco was also decent. The fish ceviche seemed fresh. I wasn’t a fan of their fish tacos. Not much fish and pretty pricey. Don Bravo in La Jolla still makes the best fish tacos. Also thought that their tortillas in general didn’t taste that good. Would I recommend? Sure, it’s popular for a reason. Will I return? No, I don’t have a desire.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 out of 5 It honestly pains me to leave a 3-star review. This was my first time visiting this food truck, and I came ready to support a local business. We placed a pretty good-sized order—3 fish tacos, 3 shrimp tacos, 2 sides of chips, and 1 drink—and we left a generous tip. I even attached our receipt to show this isn’t meant to be harsh, just an honest experience. When we arrived, there were about six people in front of us. I expected a wait, which ended up being 29 minutes. That didn’t bother me too much—if the food was as good as advertised, I figured it would be worth the time. Sadly, it just didn’t live up to the hype. The fish tacos were said to be made with fresh fish, but the batter was heavy and greasy. All I could taste was oil and coleslaw. The overall flavor was bland—no acidity, no seasoning, no balance. The shrimp tacos were the same story. The shrimp were chewy and overcooked under the batter. Honestly, if you didn’t know which was which, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the fish and the shrimp—just fried grease dominating everything. On top of that, the setup for customers could definitely use some care. There were only 3 or 4 stand-up tables and 2 canopies for shade. While I waited for my order, I noticed several elderly customers with walkers also standing around with nowhere to rest. It was uncomfortable and honestly a bit disheartening to see. If they invested some effort into the area where people wait and eat—especially for those who might need to sit—it could make a huge difference. A more welcoming and comfortable space could really help attract and retain customers. I really hate leaving critical reviews, especially for small businesses. But this wasn’t a cheap meal, and it didn’t feel like it was made—or served—with much love. I hope this is taken as constructive feedback. I want to see this place succeed, but there’s room for improvement.

The food price is not the issue it’s that for the same increased price the portion size and what you get in the crazy ceviche has gone down. I ordered two crazy ceviche and both had no oysters when last year it had two of them, not to mention the quantity of the seafood used to be overflowing and could last two meals but now it looks like mostly cucumber and is what I’d expect for 17$ but the old amount is worth the 27$ price tag. I’m saddened to make this review after having many great ceviche experiences this one killed it for me.

This spot is my GO TO when it comes to fresh tasting, flavorful, best bang for your buck, baja style mexican food! It used to be my hidden gem, but now it seems the word has gotten out with 3 food truck locations and what apparently they are advertising as a physical location downtown..?! (Good for them!👍) I personally enjoy the food truck in Mission Valley. Listen some might argue with my on the "atmosphere" but I say what better than enjoying the most delicious mexican food, with authentic music, on the streets of beautiful & sunny San Diego! My wife and I will always get the grilled fish tacos, FULL of fresh fish! (I prefer mine with less seasoning since I'm a little more sodium conscious, but never have any problems ordering or recieving my tacos with the service staff). We also like to order and split what we believe is the best lime and cilantro flavored shrimp cevich e we've come across! 🍤 🤤 Highly recommend you give this place a shot whether you live here or have come to visit! 👍👍

The food is great, best prices for fish and shrimp tacos, especially the fish tacos men there the best, soft and juicy 😋 plus you get a free small consome ( soup ) for free, is the bommmmmb but don't take my word for it, stop by and give them a try 😋

Worth the wait, because they make it really well… from scratch. Had the OG, spicy fish, spicy shrimp, seafood mix. Will be back for more.

We had the Og Fish tacos on Taco Tuesday. 3 for $8! Yes, please, and thank you. Great fast service. The flavors are amazing. The onions they let you grab yourself are amazing. Add them to everything.

I will say the food is on point. Classic Baja style Mariscos. I ordered a Fish taco and a taco Governador with a Coke. Food was dank, prices are no bueno.... $20 for two tacos and a coke? That's CRAZY. Add another taco and now your spending $30 for three tacos from a food truck. Bring your wallet if you plan on bringing the family for some taquitos. You'll be paying restaurant prices.

This has been my go-to spot for fish tacos for years now. The quality is consistently fresh and flavorful--never disappoints. There has been a recent menu change, and with it, a noticeable price increase. The OG fish taco is now $5.99 (used to be $3.50 in 2024), which is a bit of a jump. That said, they still deliver on taste and portion. The octopus taco is $10, which sounds steep, but to be fair--it's loaded with octopus and definitely worth trying if you're a fan. Even with the price hike, I still recommend this place.

Sad news everyone. The 3 OG taco plate on Tuesdays went from $5 pre Covid days, up to $9.99, then back down to $7.99 a few months ago, and now... it's gone. Probably won't be back until that returns. All the prices went up. I'm guessing they over leveraged themselves opening the new physical location and are getting screwed on the rent like every other restaurant in SD and now those costs are getting passed off to the customers. This will likely affect the quality of ingredients as well. I won't be recommending this place anymore.

TENGAN CUIDADO! El día de ayer fui y checando hoy mi estado de cuenta mire que había una cantidad extra a lo que yo sabía que había pagado, creo que los tips deberían ser opcional no una obligación. Le doy 0 estrellas porque aunque la comida es muy buena hicieron un cargo sin mi aprobación y eso es un delito. TERMINÉ PAGANDO MÁS POR LA PROPINA QUE CLARO SI DIERAN UN BUEN SERVICIO NO HUBIERA PROBLEMA PERO LO HACEN SIN MI CONSENTIMIENTO. Vayan a comer ahí si quieren ser estafados. Cuiden a su cajera no pueden abusar de la confianza del cliente al pagar con tarjeta piensan que no nos daremos cuenta. Es una chica con cabello de rubio. Igual en google se merecen la misma puntuación si pudiera poner 0 estrellas lo haría No pude responder en el comentario pero fue en la food truck. En la calle hazard center y misión center creo que está localizada.

The tacos here are great!! I tried their shrimp and fish tacos and enjoyed them so much! Love all the sides and salsas provided. The problem I had was with their shrimp ceviche. Upon opening the box, I saw the shrimp was still gray (completely raw). Ceviche is one of my favorite dishes and I'm very familiar with it. I get that it's cooked in the acid of lime juice, but the flavor of this ceviche was very light in regards to the acid amount. And the texture was just completely off. It was slimey and left a residue in my mouth. The ceviche made the meal horrible. I tossed the whole thing after one bite. I'm not sure if this is a one off situation bc photos of the ceviche from other ppl do not look the same way mine did. I would recommend the tacos but def don't recommend the shrimp ceviche.

Our new favorite lunch spot. Nice variety of menu choices. Everything is so fresh. Lots of salsas and sauces to customize your bites. Friendly staff, reasonable and very generous portions. A few nice covered tables right next to the trucks.

Rolled in off the street. I didn't expect too much but then we were pleasantly surprised. I had the ceviche with no onions. First I know what you're thinking, no onions on ceviche? I can't eat onions. So when they were able to make ceviche with shrimp and octopus, I was sold. We polished some oysters down too. They were so good! The service was great and the ambiance was nice as well. It sets up nicely right outside the trolley station, where you can watch a bunch of interesting people. This place is very dateable.

A well known fish taco truck! Came on a Saturday at 4pm and it wasn't too crowded. Ordered 3 fish tacos and they came piping hot. The batter had a nice crunch to it and didn't taste fishy. The sauce along with the cabbage and toppings paired for a refreshing contrast. They also gave us complimentary Consome while waiting, which was delicious.

We were around the area, yelping food. this truck popped up, highly rated. We originally wanted to go to a different place, but it was so hard to find parking so you know what, we tried something new! AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! we came here two days in a row. haha and I'm so happy we did. First time, my husband advised me to tone it down and just order a little bit LOL we did the battered fish tacos and the garlic shrimp tacos. They have plenty of sauces for you to choose from and they're all quite tasty. The fish taco was a tiny bit too salty, but if you eat everything together, you don't notistill solid. BUT THE SHRIMP TACO. now that was perfection in each bite. SO YUMMY. second time, we went wild. we got the shrimp tacos again. DELICIOUS seafood cocktail mix - I've never had it before but it was so good. Tasted so fresh. oysters - since it was sunday, they were $1.75 each and with whatever, lime juice sauce thing was in it. SO GOOD. aqua fresca - we got the hibiscus and it was perfect with our food. Perhaps I was in a seafood mood, or I've just never given Mexican seafood style a try. But we were so satisfied and happy with our meal. I would definitely come back. But also know, although its a food truck, it's not "cheap". But so worth it for convenience, and I'm sure they'd taste just as awesome to go.

I don't know wanna say if you know you know, but damn, their Baja style seafood is finger licking good. I ate my plate up in like 7 mins. Sorry Hole Mole, Wahoo's & and Solita, this place is freakin premium out from the truck. Not only that, they offered us a free complimentary soup to sip on during that windy afternoon. We ordered 2 fish tacos, one squid taco, and a shrimp taco. Keep in mind, on different days, there are different specials and deals. The tacos tasted fresh and bomb. Fish didn't smell bad. The squid was so flavorful. I don't know what sauce they use to marinate, but I gotta find that recipe lol. People don't know; you guys gotta try the squid taco! Everything from the food and service is 5/5. Gotta support the locals. Will be back!

Loved Kiko's originally for their 3 taco deal for $7.99 on Tuesdays. Was very disappointed when we got here this past Tuesday and seeing the new daily special prices. Unable to get 2 OG fish tacos for the deal and they didn't even have the "seafood broth". Why include it in the "deal" if it's not even being given. If it's part of the deal and included in the price, then lower the prices when you run put. We ordered a NY Steak taco too (not pictured) and it came with avocado instead of guacamole, 10 mins after our first tacos came out -- 100% because they forgot about it. Previous customers also had some missing items in their order and were only given to them when asked. Not sure what's going on but unsure if I will return.

Funny Story, My wife had thought she was taking me to a restaurant, Surprise Surprise, this is a Food Truck. We drove around in circles looking for a Restaurant. The fish tacos were very good. There are lightly battered. The fish tasted fresh, not frozen. The tacos were very flavorful, not too salty. They come with onions, tomatoes, cabbage and Mexican cream. I would come back again when I come back to San Diego.

Located right across from Jack in the Box in Mission Valley. Great spot for seafood tacos and ceviche! Honestly the best fish tacos I've had in San Diego. Definitely recommend the San Felipe taco and Famous Krazy ceviche. The portions are huge and they have great deals every day. Service was great and food was quick. They have a sauce bar below the pick up area with lots of options! Everything was neatly packaged. There's no seating but we found a spot nearby to eat.

If you're in San Diego and not hitting up Kiko's Place Seafood, you're seriously missing out--especially on Taco Tuesdays! For just $7.99, you get 3 fish tacos that are hands-down some of the best I've ever had. Perfectly battered, crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and loaded with fresh toppings. The crema, cabbage, and pico de gallo give it that fresh crunch and flavor that hits every time. It's a humble little food truck, but don't let that fool you--the food is top-tier, and the service is always quick and friendly. They've got an awesome salsa bar too, so you can dress your tacos up however you like. Affordable, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Kiko's is a must-try whether you're a local or just visiting. You'll be dreaming of those tacos long after they're gone!

A friend told me about this truck & had to try it while I was in town. I missed the truck the first time around but eventually found it as it's parked on the side street. Food is really good. But the free fish soup was super tasty! I ordered the mixed seafood taco. There were pieces of meat at the bottom of my mixed seafood taco which through me off so I didn't eat the bottom of the taco as the little pieces were stuck with the melted cheese. The fish ceviche was good. And presentation of the ceviche was beautiful. Staff were friendly. They charge an extra $0.75 for using credit card but it's free to Venmo. I heard the fish tacos are really good here. I'll be back to try them

Got lost getting here, but grateful that we did not give up. Service was good. Tried the fish ceviche. Burst of flavors once it hit the taste buds. Fresh, tangy, and delicious! Tostada shells were still crispy when I got to the bottom. Comes with avocado and cucumber slices. Beautiful flower to top it off. Will try the other items on the menu next time.

Came here for a weekday lunch. A promising sign was that the clientele are mostly blue collar workers (they often know best). Mixed Ceviche: a nice combination of shrimp, fish, and octopus, but I felt it was on the bland side and could use some more flavor. It comes with 4 tostadas, and I felt that for $22 it should have been more substantial. We had to get another order of tostadas. OG Fish Taco: A solid construction with plenty of crema, cabbage, and a good chunk of fish. I was disappointed because the fried fish was not crispy (and we ate there, it had spent 0 time steaming inside the container). The salsas were not particularly spicy, but very tasty, particularly the green one. Overall a little disappointed since my hopes were up by the pictures and reviews of this place. The staff are very friendly and service is quick. They even gave us samples of some soup to try!

First off. Wow !!!! This is a must have. When you think fish tacos you will be thinking kikos. The fish and shrimp tacos are crispy and freshly made with a healthy amount of seafood. The seafood soup that was complementary was a nice touch. Nice selections of sauces mild to hot. The women taken our order was super nice and friendly. You will enjoy the meal highly recommend.

Kiko's Place Seafood - The Best Fish Tacos, Maybe Ever. Possibly in the History of the Ocean Folks, let me tell you something very important: Kiko's Place is not just a food truck, it's a national treasure on wheels. I've eaten seafood all over--Mar-a-Lago, Trump Tower Grill, even that one time in Atlantic City (big mistake)--but Kiko's? Absolutely next level. Like Poseidon and a Mexican abuela opened a food truck together. Beautiful! First of all, the fish tacos--WOW. Crispy, golden, perfectly seasoned. They've got the crunch of capitalism and the flavor of freedom. I bit into one and said, "This is what winning tastes like." Fresh fish, better than anything Biden's eating, I can tell you that. They don't even skimp on the toppings! That cabbage slaw? Incredible. Creamy sauce? TREMENDOUS. I asked what it was, they said it's a secret. I said, "So is the formula for success." The shrimp burrito? HUGE. Bigger than the crowds at my rallies. Full of grilled shrimp, rice, beans, avocado--it weighed more than a small child. You could do bicep curls with it. And I did. Twice. Let's talk about the truck itself. Sparkling clean, red-white-and-blue level of cleanliness. The crew? Hardworking, talented, very fast, possibly the Navy SEALs of seafood preparation. One guy grilled a fish filet and chopped cilantro at the same time. Multitasking. Could run a country, honestly. And the prices? So fair it almost brought a tear to my eye. You're getting filet-mignon-level flavor for taco-truck money. It's like a deal I would've negotiated with Mexico--but for shrimp! Final thoughts: Kiko's Place is MAGA for your mouth--Make Appetizers Great Again. If you're not going here, you're doing lunch wrong. If the Founding Fathers ate tacos, this would've been in the Constitution. Would I go back? I already tried to buy the truck. They said no. That's okay. I'll settle for another taco. -- Donald J.

Wow! Taco truck that offers HELLA good Mexican Seafood dishes! This the one! "The OG Fish Taco" was perfect! The crispy fried fish topped with cabbage, pico de gallo, and cream is a hit! Fresh and flavorful! "The Spicy Seafood Mix Taco" was oh so new to me! It had SMOKED FISH and scallops! I've never had smoked fish in a taco and it was AMAZING! It was topped with tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, celery, and cheese. I'm drooling over it now! Can't wait to be back in the area to try more items! *Credit Cards Accepted. *Beer is not available.

I'll be coming to this place for at least 15+ years I'm not a local I come from San Bernardino just to eat here. I just left today. Found out. They sold it three weeks ago and changed the menu. The food doesn't taste the same. I think I'll never go there again.

Pretty good tacos. The OG was just as good as in Baja. The shrimp in the tacos were big and tasty. I think I'd pass on the chips. Delivery bags separate for each of us that got DoorDash. I can imagine getting it fresh at the truck would be amazing.

Best fish tacos in san diego. They seem to be very Ensenada style although they advertise San Felipe style. They serve you complimentary fish consome soup. The service is great! They don't sell drinks but you can go to the liquor store that the food truck is parked in. The ambiance is very food truck vibes. You eat and go.

I have been totally let down by Kikos. This was my favorite seafood taco place EVER! I loved the garlic fish and garlic octopus tacos. They told me that there is no more "garlic" on the tacos. The entire menu has changed due to loss of money I was told. I just walked away, I don't know if I can ever go back.

First of all the prices for the specials have gone up for sure and we've been there prior to the last review. With that said, it's still worth the price!! We had the Tuesday special which we chose the 3 OG fish tacos. You can opt for the 1 OG and 1 fish ceviche taco for the same price of $9.99. We also had the Kikoctele XXL which was fantastic!! It's worth the $28 because it's full of shrimp, octopus and scallops. It's definitely worth a try if you haven't. Still our go to for Mexican seafood! Make sure you ask for the seafood consume while you wait for your order.

As good as it gets. This food truck is located on a corner, with a couple of street parking spots behind it. Fortuantely we were able to snag one since it was not really busy, but you could park across the street in the shopping plaza and walk over alternatively. We ordered 4 OG fish tacos and shrimp ceviche. After ordering, I looked at the special menu and realized that oysters were only 1.75 since it was Sunday. BB encouraged me to go order some, so I took her advice and ordered 5. They asked if we wanted sauce containers, and I said yes. The kind lady gave me 4 containers and 2 bags. They have several hot sauce containers in front of the truck on a shelf. Behind a glass swinging door, they have limes and vinegar onions. I helped myself to the delicious chipotle flavored sauce, along with some of the dark red sauce. I put some of the onions and some line in one the bags.I realized I may need some more sauce, so I asked her for 2 more containers. She kindly obliged. Some places are stingy with their sauce, which is one of my ultimate pet peeves. The food took about 10 to 15 minutes as everything is made to order fresh. Fish tacos were fantastic and filling. Batter crispy, fish was tender, and toppings were fresh and tasty. They included what appeared to be homemade tortilla chips (like 5 of them) which were great. May order them a la carte next time. Shrimp ceviche and oysters were all fresh and clean. Very happy with the food and service here. I can now see why this place is rated so highly. It is very well deserved. Will come back to try that krazy ceviche for sure.

I looove Kiko's! Its location has changed a few times over the years. Currently, they're now in the Morena area where there's lots of parking available. Their taco Tuesday deal for fish tacos is always a steal, their shrimp tacos are also pretty good, but my go-to lately has been their fish burrito. I love the soup they give for you to enjoy while you wait for your order, it's so delicious and perfect to sip on now that it's colder. There are a few standing tables available but we usually take our food to go. I haven't had to wait too long for my order and the people working there have always been nice. I'll continue to come back to Kiko's!

INSANELY GOOD. I stumbled upon this food truck when I was searching for a taco spot near my hotel. They have a wide variety of options, but the main star is the OG fish taco which is a breaded fish taco with slaw. I also ordered the pulpo (octopus) taco. Both were pretty substantial in size, so keep that mind as you put together your final order! Enjoy a nice salsa selection near the pickup window before finding a seat on the curb to dig in. Kiko's provides a unique vibe to enjoy great food and the San Diego sunshine all in one place.

Got takeout from here last night, first time trying Kikos. I understand it is a food truck and was a Friday night, but we, among 15 other people, waited outside for almost 50 minutes for 4 OG fish tacos and shrimp ceviche. The lady working the window was very nice and they handed out free broth/soup that was a nice treat while waiting. I think the OG fish tacos were okay, not worth the wait IMO. Too much breading and not enough fish. Ceviche had a nice flavor, but the shrimp's coloring and appearance looked a little weird. Salsa variety was cool and a lot very spicy which I loved. I don't know if I'd try again.

Kikos is always convenient bc it's right by the Food4less plaza and it's fast and quick. However the prices lately have been jacked up. I remember when the ceviche used to be $6. It's almost $10 for the shrimp ceviche now. The shrimp ceviche is not amazing by any means and is honestly a little bland but the presentation for it is quite nice for truck food! I go here when my friends are in town and wanna grab a quick bite bc there's something for everyone. Popular are their OG fish tacos which are also now pretty pricey too. Not my spot for ceviche anymore as I found a new place!

The food is great. No doubt about it. Is it worth it? Not at all. Highly unlikely I'll be returning. We Spent $48 on two burritos and a fish taco. Hardly ANY meat in the New York steak & shrimp burritos. Mainly filled with cabbage. Not worth the wait or the price. Nevertheless it was good though.

3 combo specials consisting of 1 OG taco and 1 shrimp taco- 19$ later for 6 amazing tacos and free fish soup while we wait.... I was so happy. The sauces they offer to put on top of your tacos and the pickled red onion- chefs kiss! The OG taco was our favorite because the fish was so soft and flaky, the breading wasn't too thick, as with the shrimp taco the breading seemed on the thinker side. Still very delicious and we left very happy! Will be coming back for sure! A great experience!

I have driven by this truck multiple times but never stopped to try it. I got the Friday special Krazy ceviche. It was amazing, I was vibing, ate a clam, it was delicious, then I ate the oyster. That oyster was ROTTEN!! As soon as it hit my mouth I tasted nothing but sewer and something vile. I spit it out, rinsed my mouth and now I am praying to the seafood gods I don't get sick. Completely ruined my meal. Update: It's been about 20 mins and my stomach is now making noises that I hope make a peaceful exit. Pray for me and be careful with the oysters!!!!

Let me start by they have daily specials, come on taco Tuesday to catch the best deal for taco. They are quite expensive but its to be expected for fish. The batter is nice and crisp, I would prefer a hint more salt in the breading. The cabbage slaw is crunchy and goes well. Salsas are flavorful. The oysters as very good and my wife enjoyed her viagra cocteles

Love the mixed seafood burrito and tacos! It can take awhile to get your food, but that's because everything is made to order. The prices are fair but certainly not cheap. But you get the quality that you pay for! One of the best places for mexican seafood IMHO. It's a food truck, so don't expect amazing ambience, but that isn't why you go there.

Friendly service and daily specials are awesome. Parking definitely a challenge. No seating and no waters not my fav.. selection of salsa is great! Shrimp taco was outstanding, and I hoped the fish taco would blow my mind but it was good- not off the charts. One of the more expensive trucks but worth a try!

Kikos is your place for quality mariscos and customer service! This was our first stop of my birthday food crawl and it did not disappoint. I got the fish ceviche and fish taco. So fresh and delicious!!! They also gave us complimentary fish soup while we waited for our order and it was FIREEEE piping hot and freshly made. My fish ceviche was beautifully plated, loaded with avocados, and topped with an orchid. They are so generous with their servings. My fish tacos was battered and cooked golden with a crispy coating and the taco was overflowing with tomatoes, cabbage and crema. Please check out Kikos for the best mariscos it's a hidden gem!

Seafood lovers, this is a must-try! It's Friday afternoon and I'm not in the mood to cook... Let's head to Kiko's! It's one of my favorite hidden food truck gems now. If you can't spot them near the YMCA, just drive down to Hazard - you're almost there, lol. Surprisingly, it wasn't very busy for a Friday afternoon, which meant less wait time for my food. The service was quick and convenient. FYI they do charge an extra 0.75 for Apple Pay. But anything for some shrimpies !! Kiko's is presenting beautifully restaurant quality entree meals. I wasn't expecting a decorative cocktail today. The ambiance is what you make of it. Order take out to-go OR stuff your face in front of cars passing by. Either way, I ate over an electrical box and had the best dinner this week.

Best fish tacos in SD hands down. The OG fish taco hits everytime and everything I've tried has been great so far. They give free hot seafood soup to sip on while you wait and the service is awesome.

This is a food truck so there is no seating. The service is good. Had no problems ordering and getting the food. They give a free cup of soup with your meal. We got the ceviche and fish tacos and everything tasted really fresh. Price is reasonable. Would definitely come back here for the OG fish tacos and ceviche when I am in SD. The fish tacos are stacked and have a great size. The fish is fresh and the batter ratio is good.

Best fried fish tacos! It's a definite stop and must have. Quick service and reasonable prices. The broth/soup is great. It's on a corner spot and just stand and eat. It's worth it! Not the best pictures but I was too busy eating, I forgot to take good pictures.

This place is definitely a hidden gem! I've driven past this place a lot but never thought to try it. I'm so glad I finally did and will be back for more! Fish Taco - 10/10, the fish was crunchy and fresh Spicy Shrimp Taco - 10/10, the seasoning is amazing! Super flavorful and delicious Mixed Seafood Taco - 100/10, the portion size is crazy! For $10 you get a mussel and a bunch of seafood in the taco. This was honestly the size of 3 tacos and took me a while to finish Consome - 10/10, the broth us amazing and they were handing them out for free! Perfect for the cold weather Customer service was amazing, food was made to order and tasted fresh and delicious. Will definitely be a regular here :)

Worth the wait! If the wait is longer than usual, they sometimes give out free soup. Kiko's is my favorite place for fired fish tacos. I don't always remember to go here when my taco cravings hit, but whenever I do, I'm never disappointed. Their other offerings are delicious too! Don't forget to try their sauces!
