    Amazing! We were advised to get the nachos, which were gone in about 5 minutes. The food was excellent - both the shrimp and mahi-mahi baja tacos were outstanding. Don't worry that 2 tacos won't be enough - they are big. We also got the charred avocado tacos, and the tacos especial (4 different tacos.) Nothing disappointed. Great margaritas, great service, would highly recommend, and may go back before we leave town.

    First time at Kiki's and everything was excellent! Aidan was our server and he was always there to see what we needed. Very attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and came out at just the right time. We didn't feel rushed and were relaxed on the beautiful patio. Make sure to order the cauliflower... AMAZING! Also the crab dip was excellent... They did not skimp on the crab. And the coconut shrimp were large and delicious. 10/10 on service, food and ambience!
