Kiki's Mexican Restaurant

Busy evening when we went with a 20 min wait for 2 (not too bad). But we were able to be seated right away at the bar, which was nice. Honestly I really liked the vibes here. It was loud and vibrant but not too loud. For drinks we ordered Sangria and a Margarita. They were nice and not too sweet. Brisket Machaca was delicious,creamy, and tender. My only preference would only be for a little more spice. The sides were good too, tho nothing extraordinary. My spouse had the Chile Colorado and he really liked it. Service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come back again for the good food and ambiance. Thank you, Kiki's.

I don't live in El Paso any longer but when I do make it back I always go to Kiki's. I was looking forward to my favorite green enchiladas. I was so dissatisfied. The sauce recipe has changed. It was ok but nowhere near as good as it used to be. I hope this change was temporary!

Today - 08.01.24 - what a wonderful way to bring in a new month. I came back here for the second time and had what were possibly the best cheese enchiladas I have ever had. If this was Once Upon A Time in Mexico, Johnny Depp would have strolled back to the kitchen and offed the chef - they were that delicious. The beans and rice - also life-changing. The vibe here - pure El Paso. The service - excellent. 2/2 on providing an excellent meal and a superlative experience overall.

Busy diner serving Mexican fare with massive portions, fantastic for refueling after a day of hiking. We got the caldo de res which was light, flavorful and warm, and a Machada plate which was so large, cheesy and filling. Highly recommend! It's a popular spot and we waited 30 minutes on a Sunday evening. Family-friendly + casual, friendly service.

A Timeless GemI recently dined at this incredible Mexican restaurant that has been a staple in the community for generations, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The food is simply outstanding. I had the Combo Plate #3, which included a chile relleno, taco, enchilada, and flauta, all served with perfectly cooked rice and beans. Every bite was bursting with authentic flavors. We also tried the brisket machaca, which was tender and savory, accompanied by the classic rice and beans. The servers were exceptionally nice and made us feel right at home with their warm and friendly service. This place truly captures the essence of traditional El Paso cuisine and hospitality. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines excellent food with a welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommended!

Come prepared for a wait, regardless of when you come. Just grab a beer at the bar and wait patiently with everyone else if there's a line. This is a locals' place. Hole in the wall, historic building, friendly family vibe. Very clean.The menu is crazy - soooo hard to decide what to order. We got a bowl of caldillo for a shared appetizer, and brisket machaca, picadillo, a beef burrito special for entrees.Best caldillo ever- full of green chile, tender beef, and comforting potatoes in a rich broth. Definitely try the acclaimed brisket machaca for a cheesy beefy experience. The picadillo was surprising with a scrumptious hard sear on the beef and a relatively dry texture - far different from the overcooked watery ground beef stews most places make. Highly recommended?

The hosts were very welcoming to us when we walked in. It was a very full house so the food took longer than expected. Unfortunately they don't have a variety amount of margaritas (wish they had more flavors / options). The food took a while to get here. The food was AMAZINGGGGG, as posted in the pictures, the green enchiladas and the carne asada were very delicious. Would come back soon.

We came here because apparently it is a staple in El Paso. It has been around for ages. They are known for serving big plates of food for those that have been working outside. I am not sure why this place is so highly rated, because the food was not that good. The rice was good and the chips but the flautas were not, they had no flavor at all. The customer service was great though so that's why they get a 3.

Strange but the food was crazy ridiculously good! Had the special which was Steak Fajitas. The meat was tender with grilled tomatoes, onions and hatch chilies. Rice and beans were also really good, beans had melted cheese on them..Wsitresse was very attentive and helpful. The were quite a few people here and wasn't noisy.I'd eat here again.Was told to try the seafood enchiladas and kinda bummed I didn't as what I got was very tasty. Guessing would have had my mind blown.

Can hardly wait to eat at Kiki's again... how I miss you. Plano and Dallas restaurants don't hold a candle to your wonderful Mexican food. Hope to see you this Spring!!!Kaye S.
