"As an El Paso native eating at KiKi’s was tradition. I recently visited after moving 27 years ago and going to KiKi’s was a priority. I ordered the Machaca with my eggs over medium. It was delicious! The brisket was tender and juicy, the chili con queso perfectly seasoned with green chilies and tomatoes. The serving was giant just like I remember. The restaurant looks to have been renovated inside and it’s not pitch black anymore"

"My family and I were recommended this restaurant by one of my TikTok followers. My hubby and I had the Saturday dinner special- Green Chile Hamburger Steak. Our kids had the Kid's Tacos. The food was divine! We will definitely eat here again. The only recommendations I have are to not charge customers $0.95 for extra tortilla chips. We are a family of four and had one small bowl brought to us. We had to ask for lemons for our water twice and never received them. My dish was supposed to come with refried beans, but they forgot to put them on my plate. When I brought it to the waitresses attention she quickly got them for me. So, just listen to your customers and help them have a great experience."

"Caldillo was amazing. Go all in, add a runny egg, some chilies, lime, grab some corn tortillas and go to town. Table salsa and chips, spot on spicy. Cold Pitchers of beer what more do you need to know?"

"Been here a handful of times, today seemed to be louder than usual but still the atmosphere was ok. I had the #3 combo it came with a taco, Chile relleno, red enchilada, a flauta, beans, rice & guacamole. I've always rated Kiki's a 9 / 10 but today I think it was good but it gets a 6,7 ) 10 from me. Waitress was nice football games in the background helped the vibe, stop by & check out out for yourself."
