Kiki's Mexican Restaurant

Major food good service long wait.

Tried this place for the first time and ordered the green chicken enchiladas I was so disappointed. Chicken was old and hard and the sauce tasted like they just added water to the cheese. Hate waisting a lot of money on food I have to throw away. I got grossed out.

The food was delicious. Excellent service.

My experience was absolutely terrible, the food at best was 1/10 I’ve had better left over McDonald’s to say the least. The service was terrible, it took over an hour to get our food, you get about 5 chips per table and have to pay to get more ‍♀️. The atmosphere was horrible, there was no air conditioning and it was so small you practically have to hug the people you sit by.

Never been here but was good as hell.

So, picture this: It's Sunday night in El Paso, and I find myself at Kiki's Mexican Restaurant. It's like the chosen one, the only joint open past 8 pm. Our Airbnb host gave it a big thumbs up, so why not embark on this culinary adventure? As I stroll into what seems like a time capsule of El Paso's culinary history, the walls covered in articles from the Jurassic era (okay, 1988). Prices for Enchiladas were apparently $3-4 back then, and shockingly, they're still in the same ballpark today. Inflation, where art thou? I bravely order the Number 2 combo plate with Brisket, a symphony of 2 Red Enchiladas, One Meat Taco, and One Chile Relleno. It's the ultimate sampler platter – the Cheesecake Factory of Mexican cuisine. The plate's so massive; I half-expected it to come with its own GPS tracker. And the price? A steal. The food, though? Meh. The brisket was like a well-done skirt steak – tender yet not the love story I was hoping for. The Chile Relleno was good, but let's say it didn't make me want to write a sonnet. Now, coming from LA, where Mexican food reigns supreme, Kiki's didn't quite make it to the Hall of Fame. The highlights? Wallet-friendly prices and their unique approach to serving food – a little too unique, as I almost became a connoisseur of red chile-covered plastic zip ties. In conclusion, is Kiki's worth a visit? Well, it's like that quirky friend you keep around for the laughs – entertaining but not exactly a Michelin star contender.
