Great Mexican restaurant. Food and service are great. Prices are reasonable and ample parking. Food was fresh and delicious, portions are generous. Definitely coming back soon.

Over all the food is pretty good. The salsa could be better, for a Mexican own restaurant you would expect great salsa right? Worth a try and don't forget taco Tuesdays!

Just visited Kiki's for the second time and I honestly do get the appeal.
Basics: this is a small, local restaurant that can be a bit of a challenge for non-locals to find. The interior is cozy, but nice. Plenty of booths, but not much available for large groups. I was with a large group both times and staff did what they could to accommodate.
Both times started with chips and salsa. Tonight the chips were incredibly hard and stale - definitely tasted like we got the last of the bag that had been sitting around for a few months. This place does not make their own chips. The salsa wasn't runny, but wasn't thick. Taste was beyond bland.
The first time I came here I ordered fish tacos. Because of a sensitivity to avocados, I asked for no guac and asked not to have sour cream. I did ask for extra pico de gallo. When my meal arrived, there were 2 tacos wrapped in foil. When I opened it, there were 2 tortillas with grilled fish inside. WHAT?!?! No cabbage salad? What is a fish taco without the cabbage salad? Tasteless. It was served with rice and beans, and the beans were not made from scratch.
Tonight I went back because any restaurant can have an off night or perhaps fish tacos are simply not what they do best. I ordered a taco salad with chicken and beans and extra salsa. It was served in a tortilla shell and was the size or a restaurant house salad. I think there may have been a chunk of two of chicken, though I wouldn't swear to it. Under a thin layer of lettuce, there was a huge amount of refried beans. I'm used to being asked if I want refried or ranchero beans, and the refried beans was a disappointment. Over the thin layer of lettuce was a few pieces of tomato and salsa covering it. Naturally, the salsa was the same tasteless stuff on the table with the chips. For this meal I was charged $9.00. $9.00 for a restaurant side salad-sized meal. I left the restaurant hungry and needed to fix a real salad when I got home.
The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because the staff are very friendly and they did get my order right. However, after 2 tries, I'm officially giving up on this place. From now on I'll just stay at home and cook the recipes my Mexican mother-in-law taught.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 14, 2019
My best friend and I took the day off,and decided to do lunch. I said what sounds good, first she said pizza,and then suggested Mexican. Sounded GREAT! She knows the area well, and suggested the place, I said I will meet you there.
We were greeted warmly, got to pick our place. And served warm fresh chips and salsa, right away, nice. Menus came also, server was sweet. ( and Valentine's Day was her Birthday) she was prompt, and attentive!
5 stars for her!
Prices are so inexpensive, and food was good, haha...I was full but kept nibbling...I enjoy nachos, like who doesn't! Had chicken, cheese, and bean. Next time I'll order a side of sour cream, and guacamole... Life is Good.
Over all it was good, filling, and priced right!
Nice stop, away from the city, local... Parking is sparce, business, looks a little rough on the outside...But inside is clean, and friendly.
The owner, and staff are warm, and welcoming.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Stephanie J.Prineville, OR4310Feb 16, 2023
The first time we went to Kiko's and I ordered the chile Riano and tamale. It was very good and service was good. The second time we went to Kikos We went for taco Tuesday and called in the order. when we got home and open the container the tacos looked like they had been just slap together ...... the tacos hardly had any meat or vegetables inside of it. We were truly disappointed!! they had also left out the salsa,so the tacos were dry and unappealing. So I have to say this is a mixed review.

Don't ask why I was even eating in Seymour much less craving Tex-mex, but know that this place seemed fine.
I did think the chips were a bit stale and the salsa watery, but the dish I had (Mio y tulla) was quite tasty. Chili rellenos, enchiladas, and a good sprinkling of chorizo on top...I did think at first that it was too bad that both the chilis and the enchiladas had the same topping--but I ate every bite and wanted more, anyway.
I did not ask for drinks so I'm not sure if they have alcohol. Hard to imagine a Tex-mex place not having beer, though.
I must say- the comment from the guy saying "I'm from Mexico..." to prove his knowledge base is kind of like someone saying "I'm from Arkansas, so I know my Cajun cuisine." This food is TEX-MEX not Mexican!!!
I would not drive to Seymour to eat here-- there are plenty of good Tex-mex places between me and there. But if in Seymour....I'd sure not hesitate to go again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kimberly H.TN, TN029Mar 20, 2022
Went on a slow Sunday evening w high expectations based on reviews. The chicken fajitas were bland, chips greasy and salsa bland and watery. My husband got the shrimp Diablo which was very tasty. Portions were very large. Service was adequate- not very friendly.

Great Mexican dishes for a good price, location is great too. I love all the arroz con pollo dishes they serve and all the customizable items they do to help.

We returned to the area for the first time in 7 months. We have been looking forward to eating here and BAM! They are still just as friendly, fast, and supremely tasty.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Sep 23, 2020Previous reviewWow! Family-run hidden gem. I apologize for forgetting to take "before" photos. We were hungry and ate everything.
The shredded chicken used in the flautas and chimichanga was superbly juicy and flavorful. The salsa for the flautas was the best - even better than the tomato-based salsa for the tasty chips!
Apparently everything is made on-site. This pays off on your plate.
The staff is friendly, and the place is family-friendly.
This will be a regular spot for us.
