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.

This is a taco truck with amazing food and great service. I heard this place gets super crowded so we went at 10am on Tuesday. There was no wait and we parked behind the taco truck. While we waited for our food, the cashier gave us soup. It was great. We ordered the fish taco plate. It came with fresh tortilla chips that were out of this world. So crunchy and salty and delicious. The fish tacos were so soft and crunchy at the same time. I loved the orange and green sauces. The tortilla was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed every bite.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Kikos is amazing. Been coming here since I was in high school. They have moved around a little bit but have settled at this location across the street from food 4 less and chick filet in mission valley. Never can go wrong with the OG fish tacos. Good portion size, decent price, tastes amazing. The seafood soup they give you while waiting is just divine. Always on point at Kikos. Staff are awesome and friendly. There is a little canopy if you want to eat there. My family and I just have a little car food party and eat our delicious tacos nearby. All in all, awesome food, amazing staff, really awesome experience every time.

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 received great customer service from the guy that took my order. I got a free little soup and they cleaned my table before I was served. Will come again.

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 😋

I had a stop by today to catch the taco fish deal that they offer on Tuesday, after all the compliments that I've heard from my classmates. It turned out that they have all different deals for the rest of the week so it's GREAT!. They are at the corner before you make a right turn to Mission Center street from Hazard Center street so don't miss the street parkings on Hazard Center right side. The guy staffs were quick, friendly, especially their manager named Jorge he talked to me for a while after learning that I came for the first time, he has great respect and nice customer service I've ever seen from all the street food vendors and taco trucks which I had. I had their 2 fish tacos and only paid the price of 1 and free soup. By the time I just finished my purchase the order was ready, that's so fast and impressive! They have lots of sauces and sides also seemed to be different to other taco trucks which I had before and especially they have spicy sauces for those who love the heat like me. The place was very clean and professional 👌, they seemed cleaning up all the time when I was there. I'm coming back for more options and humble, friendly staffs and great customer services and highly recommend for everyone!

Finally got to stop by and try their food. I wish I stopped sooner. Delicious and flavorful. We ordered the medium shrimp cocktail, and a fish taco. The fish taco was packed and the tortilla did its part and didn't breakdown. The shrimp cocktail was perfect shrimp and veggies ratio. It was spicy and in a perfect cocktail. Ate my food too fast didn't even take a picture. We stopped by the food truck, service was quick and no issues. They have stand up tables if you choose to eat there. Can't wait to try their downtown location

Imagine my surprise when I was looking for Kiko's and XE Enterprise Group pop up in its place. Ever since discovering this at their original location across from Del Taco, I've been stopping by Kiko's whenever I get a chance to be in town. Personally, it's hard for me to compare Kiko's and Oscars since I like different things from them. But Kiko's has fantastic daily special which is always a steal! You can never go wrong with their fish taco and chingon (steak and shrimp) - so think surf and turf. I'm a little sensitive to spicy, but it does have a little heat to it. They have been updating/consolidating their menus the last few times I went, not in the sense that they're getting rid of food but less and less words and descriptions of what each item is. I had to look up previous Yelp reviews to see what certain tacos were. It's been a while, but their ceviche is pretty fire and a massive portion! It's also part of the daily specials if you want to come on a Tues, Wed, or Thurs for a shot! Tuesday is my favorite special since you can get 3 fish tacos for 9.99 where as a regular fish taco runs you 6.99 each! The portions are massive so they do match the price! Everything is made to order, so you can count on it being fresh. They always offer you their fish stew while you wait for your order. They take both card and cash, but cash is always king here. You can pack your limes and salsas while you wait for your order. They do have a few small standing tables for eating on site under canopies or take it to go and eat in your car. There's typically street parking behind the food truck!

I like the food here, but they need to learn how to prioritize their ordering system. I walked up to the ordering window and waited until the lady was ready. Right when she was, someone called and she answered and took the phone order. After she hung up, she picked up the next call and took that order. She clearly saw me at the window and acknowledged me. I think if there's someone that's been waiting for before the phone calls, she could ask them to hold and address the person who was there first. I understand that things get busy, but I don't like that I'm ignored (despite being seen) for a decent amount of time because of the lunch phone calls.

After all of the hype, I had to try the original Kikos. While I think these tacos are okay, I wouldn't put them at the top of my "best tacos" or "best seafood tacos" in SD list. I probably won't return either. I ordered the OG fish and shrimp tacos. The fish was cooked well, but I felt both tacos were bland. The shrimp was slightly overcooked, and both proteins had a lot of excess breading. The tortillas and toppings were also just okay. The prices were outrageous given what you can get elsewhere and the size of the portions. If you're looking for great seafood tacos, I highly recommend going to La Sinaloense, Mar y Tierra, or El Prieto instead. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Setting/Service: It's a food truck. I like that they're consistently in the same spot and offer some tables and shade for their customers. Salsa bar and condiments are easy to access and well organized. Staff was nice, food comes out in timely manner Food: Excellent. For ultimate value. Any of their specials are great options. I personally like their classic fish tacos the best, but their ceviche is pretty legit too! Overall: An excellent, reliable food truck that I'll happily return to regularly

Been wanting to come here for a while after hearing Kiko's has some of the best fish tacos in San Diego! It's located on the side of the road-thankfully, it was easy to find parking. I came on a Tuesday and got their special which included 1 fish taco, 1 shrimp taco, and the broth. In addition to this, I also tried the fish ceviche. Service was quick and there's a salsa bar on the side to pour your desired salsas. It was actually my first time trying ceviche and I liked it! Healthy, high protein, and flavorful! I also enjoyed the shrimp and fish tacos! The green cilantro and orangey chipotle salsas really compliment the seafood. The broth is good too- just a tad bit salty to my liking. Overall, I enjoyed the food! Got to satisfy my fish taco cravings. I'll admit, I had higher expectations for how the fish and shrimp tacos would taste, but it was not bad! Good place to check out to try Mexican seafood dishes!

Got the monday special. Shrimp and og fish taco. On the side of the road. The other kikos on morena is much better than here. They are not even similar, dont come here, go there

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.

My favorite fish taco spot in San Diego! I love coming on Taco Tuesdays for their 3 ginormous fish tacos. It takes a bit to prepare the food, but the fish is freshly battered and fried. The cabbage and salsas also are very fresh. I recommend getting the orange chipotle sauce.

New updated menu! Staff member said they were losing money on the old menu so they had to make some changes. The quality of the food is still pretty good, but I believe it's a little bit more pricey than what it used to be. Overall, I will still come here whenever I'm in the area to eat their fish tacos.

Oh Kiko's... What happened to this once must go-to for fish tacos and aguachile is no longer on the top of list for me. They just changed their menus, specials and all. Half of the menu items made zero sense. Example: 1983 taco (what is that?!) even the person who took our order had to ask the kitchen what it's made of. Went with the OG fish taco (teenie tiny for $6) and birria burrito; good and quality birria but small for $14.50. Daily special menu has changed since earlier this month and no longer a great deal. :( In search of new taco truck now. No consome was offered while we waited for our order. The hot sauce still great though.

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.

Been wanting to try here since I always pass by and I love fish/shrimp tacos and I enjoyed it! Luckily found street parking behind the truck and there was a short line on a Saturday at 1 pm. I got the original fish taco and shrimp taco. The fish taco was tender and a little crispy though I would like it crispier but the shrimp taco was nicely crispy. Both were delicious and I liked the combination with the creama sauce, cabbage and pico. It's also cool that they give out free consome and crackers. There's only two tables to stand and eat. Service was super nice and really quick!

I always pass by this truck but haven't tried it until now! Found street parking right behind the truck. Short line Saturday around 1PM. The guy taking our order was super nice and the order came out super quickly, within a few mins! I had a OG shrimp and OG fish taco. The fish taco was tender but not as crispy as I'd like it. The shrimp taco was delicious and my favorite! I like the sauce and how the tacos have both cabbage and pico. There's limited tables to stand around and eat. I would definitely come back and their taco Tuesday deals look great!

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!

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.

EDIT: Regarding the comment from Kiko's, I meant I've been going to Kiko's since *before* their move to Mission Valley years ago, when they were previously at Texas Food & Liquor. To me, them not knowing this information confirms that the truck has changed ownership at some point since then. I've been going to Kiko's for years, since they've been on Texas in front of the liquor store. The garlic octopus tacos I got today were insanely sad. They were missing half of the usual ingredients (cabbage, pico, sauce) and it was crazy overcooked. It was literally just WHOLE garlic cloves and a few chunks of overcooked octopus with fried cheese on top. If you look at the photos in here, that's far from what it's supposed to normally look like. What's happening, has ownership changed? I'll be really upset if I lose this place.

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.

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.

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.

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

Really flavorful free soup. The Monday special 2 ceviche tostada was good filled with lots of tomatoes. The fish taco was the highlight of the meal. Beef taco had plenty of beef. Service was very fast and standing tables in the shade were clean. Good spot for lunch if you're in the area

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!

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.

saw this place while driving in the area. what caught my eye was the amount of people eating there. they have a couple tables with umbrellas, no chairs, outside of their truck. decided to stop here. there is a lot of street parking behind this truck. i ordered the OG fish tacos. while i was waiting the employee offered me a sample of their fish soup. i was hesitant & declined but he said just try it, which i did & yep, it was tasty. the fish tacos were delicious! will be recommending this place from now on. always a plus when the employees are friendly.

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.

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.

Went on a Tuesday maybe like at 3 pm. Got the 7.99 deal cuz it was Tuesday . One OG fish taco and ceviche. Really fresh , really delish! We drive all the way down from north county for these tacos. And for ikea. Great food doesn't need to be in a fancy restaurant. I appreciate this truck so damn much ! It's a quick wait as well and the vibes are great. You got a very diverse customer base as well. From business corporate type people , vacation people and your everyday worker. Great food for everyone and great deals. Lovvvvvve love love it!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

Used to be my favorite place to get fish tacos but when I went today it seriously changed. I'm not sure if ownership was changed. The little consume was very water down and lukewarm. The fish tacos are now 6$ each and even the salsa are all watered down. The fish inside the fish taco was not crispy and everything looked kind of dirty on the outside of the truck. Big disappointment

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!
