Excellent food and service. They were vert accommodating in special request. Will come back again

Can't believe I just found this place. Delicious!! I'll be a regular. Everyone is very friendly.

I am only giving 3 stars for the decor and server. The young man was very attentive and checked on us often, which I appreciated. The reason I can't give anymore stars than that is because the food was very underwhelming. First off, I know prices are rising everywhere but even at other Mexican restaurants things were not as expensive as here. Also, i noticed the portions they served were rather small. The guacamole portion for quesadillas we were given was the size of a gumball. The queso tasted like it came from a Tostitos jar, chicken in enchiladas was dry and bland, rice had no flavor. The shrimp they use in their dishes are the baby shrimp, no good. The only thing I liked was the salsa and refried beans. I more than likely won't be returning as the food was not spot on for me, maybe their other dishes are better? read more

My family and I love Kiki's and are regulars. The stuffed jalapeños, mole enchiladas, and soups are among our favorites. The owners are incredibly nice and always looking to improve and/or expand their menu. read more

Great little restaurant tucked away in the middle of a strip center. Restaurant was small but clean. I ordered the Pollo Primavera. The plating was very nice. My meal came with rice and beans. Beans were the best I've ever had in a mexican restaurant. It was more like soup and the broth was very very good and tasty. Had a good flavor, maybe ham. The menu said the meal came with squash, zucchini and carrots. I was expecting a piece of chicken with a little cream sauce with vegetables on the side. The chicken was pounded into thin pieces. Portion size was good. Veggies were cut in small pieces and mixed with the cream sauce then poured onto the top of the chicken. It was very good and was not a typical mexican restaurant dish. Would have been better if it was hot. Rice was warm but not hot. Beans were nice and hot though. My husband had a very hard time finding somethings he was interested in but he finally ordered the chicken Mia's bowl. He said it was ok. His chicken was not hot when he got his meal. Went on a Thursday night. There was a decent crowd. A couple of tables were occupied when we got there, but there were more filled when we left. I will definitely go back if I can get my husband to go. lol read more

Bland food, and worst of all, all three of us who dined there were up all night with diarrhea. Need I say more?

Feel like Yelpers let me down on this one. Bland salsa, no tamales, no ranchero sauce. Not sure how long this place has been open but don't see it lasting long. The place was dead. Son had the beef fajitas and they needed more seasoning and were chewy. My daughter had the quesadillas and she said they were good. Highly disappointed to have dined here. read more

Gave Kiki's a shot after the ownership change, and it was a pleasant surprise. Authentic Mexican dishes were solid, and the Peruvian options added a nice touch. I'm definitely considering a second visit. read more

Kiki's Mexican Resteraunt was ok.. no outstanding food but it was ok. I had a chicken taco salad and the chicken had some seasoning (I don't know what it is). I just put a review about 5 mins ago.. if tonight or tomorrow I may have to get another review (depends) and let you know and pictures.. read more

Kiki's Authentic Mexican Restaurant - Chicken taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

This is a small restaurant with okay food. Nothing fancy, except their exceptional customer service and good prices. Giovanni, the server was very nice and attentive. I had a burrito, it was okay, but the service was great. Will go back and try other things! read more

I found this place on Yelp when I had a real craving for tacos during my lunch break! The place is small, definitely not a place for a large group to eat in. The woman working the counter and tables was very happy and efficient, taking care of everything quickly. I ordered at about 12:40 and I received my food at 12:50, but I assume that's because there were quite a few orders ahead of me. I ordered two al pastor tacos and two chicken tacos. The tacos here are $0.99 each and the size definitely matches the price. They also only give you one corn tortilla so the tacos can become messy. They come with salsa and fresh cilantro and onion. I chose to add grilled onions for an additional ninety-nine cents, and they were definitely worth it! The tacos themselves were pretty good, but definitely not the best I've had. I saw most of the other customers eating in bought fajitas, and they certainly looked delicious as the waitress brought it out so if I ever have time to sit and eat I'll definitely try that! read more

We just happened in here by chance and I'm glad we did. Apparently they'd been very busy all day and were running short on some items. That doesn't bother me at all. It's a sign that everything is fresh. Everything we ordered was very good and obviously cooked to order. Our server, Sofia, was very friendly and handled herself very well under adversity. We left feeling well fed and appreciated for being there. I'm glad we discovered Kiki's. We'll definitely be back. read more

The salsa is good....but the chips are out of a bag and salty. So, that was disappointing. We tried a picadillo sope as an appetizer. It's basically refried beans, picadillo, lettuce, crema on a bread-like shell. He said it was ok...but the picadillo was missing some sort of kick/spice. Also got a steak taco and and al pastor taco. Steak was a little overcooked but flavorful and tender. Just too much char. The al pastor was equally good. He got the carne asada. It was salty and fatty, but at least had some flavor. The best part of his meal was that he got borrocho beans instead of refried. He said those lived up to other reviews. I got chicken/beef fajitas. Terrible. I mean, I didn't even make a fajita out of the beef because it was so bad. The beef had absolutely no flavor and was fatty. The chicken had no flavor but at least I could load it up with salsa and chew it. The "homemade" tortillas are nothing to write home about. Yes, better than store ones but nothing that would make the place stand out. The rice was okay. I don't like peas and carrots in my rice, so my forkfuls were carefully obtained. I thought it was a little dry, like it was from yesterday. Probably wouldn't return...as someone mentioned, there's plenty of Mexican in the area and we'll try another place instead of being this disappointed. read more

Came for dinner and was it delicious! Yum! The churros were on point. Plus BYOB. Service was great!

A friend recommended Kiki's soley based on their stuffed jalapenos. I was not disappointed. They were stuffed to the brim with shredded chicken and cheese, and packed with flavor. I ordered the lunch enchiladas and love ordered the Miguelito. Mine was good, nothing special, but good. His looked amazing, and he really enjoyed it. We make a killer chicken tortilla soup at home, but he said it was NOTHING in comparison. Hands down, best chicken tortilla soup we have had. Service was ok, could be much better, but we will be back! read more

A GREAT neighborhood find near ALDIs. Good food, lovely owner Miriam, tastefully decorated, will be my favorite Mexican restaurant

They have decent food . The owner was there when I went to grab my take out.. the cashier forgot my drink and the owner has a very judge-mental vibe which makes you feel uncomfortable. This place is not normally busy , I don't know how they are open honestly. read more

I love their meals! My boyfriend had a chorizo chimichanga and I had the pechuga rellena!!! It's amazing! 11.95 for grilled chicken with cheese and avocado! And 10.50 for the chorizo chimichanga! I love how the waiter Giovanni (sorry if it's misspelled) was wearing a mask and stepped away from the table! This was my left overs it was very good for a 100 pound female LOVE IT!!! read more

Never disappointed with the food always good. Love it, The atmosphere is cozy and clean.

Tried this place for the first time and got it delivered. We ordered the beef fajitas. They didn't look as photogenic as some pictures are here on yelp. Maybe it's because it was delivered, so there was more settling time. The meat could have been seasoned more. The tortillas are better than most places we've been to in this area. Overall bland experience with the exception of the chips and salsa. It's highly likely that we will choose a different place over this in the future. 3 stars= edible for sustenance and not pleasure [To give you an idea of my taste level so you can better interpret what my feedback means to you, I currently say Pappacito's is my favorite place for fajitas in the Dallas metroplex.] read more

I wish I had tried this place sooner. I love the decor here. I started with chips and salsa and ordered queso which came with flour tortilla chips. Delicious! My main meal was the chicken enchiladas with molé sauce, served with rice, beans, and salad. It was a perfect meal. I would have ordered dessert, but I was full. Maybe next time. ;) read more

Wasn't expecting much when we walked in and on our way out we were making plans to go back and soon! I had the chicken chimichanga and it was one of the best ones I have ever had. The waiter also checked on us periodically to see if we needed anything. read more

First time to try this little place out and we were very satisfied the ranchero soup beans and flour tortillas were my favorite. We will definitely go back again read more

The visit was just ok. The water they serve (and the tea as well) Is made with tap water, I believe. I could smell it when drinking from the cup. The food was mediocre. I have had better and I have had worse. The salsa tasted like marinara with some peppers added. My husband had a beef burrito. He asked if it had beans on the plate and the gentleman put the side of beans in the burrito and didn't give him any meat. My enchiladas were ok, not much spice to them. The facility was hot and no circulation. The waiter was nice but doesn't change the overall score. read more

I just ordered food to be delivered from Kiki's. This was the first time I've ordered from them and I'm glad I did! Everything was very delicious!! I'll definitely order from Kiki's again. read more

Just a few things to note. The server was great, but the heat was not on inside and it was beyond freezing. They charge the same price for bean and cheese nachos as they do for fajita nachos, which is odd. And their beans have a very weird, burnt taste to them that is it good. I would suggest going elsewhere until they get their heat fixed and they adjust their pricing. read more

This is a small little restaurant in a strip center, easy to miss, but my nickname at work is Kiki, so we just had to try it! We stopped in one night and it wasn't busy, only one other table at the time. We were waited on immediately. The sodas are all in bottles and they are SO good! It's also BYOB. The chips were great and the salsa had a little kick but not too much and also delicious. My husband is really picky about salsa and he loved it! We both got enchiladas. Yum! We will definitely be back. read more

The street tacos are extremely small. I do not recommend ordering them as I think they are overpriced. The tamales was okay. It was 3/4 flour and 1/4 meat. The decoration is really tacky and the place didn't look inviting outside. It looked really dark and somewhere you do not wanna enter but when you do, you will see the colorful tacky decorations. Overall, an okay place if you're craving mexican food. read more

Amazing food! Authentic Mexican food. I always get the caldo and it reminds me of home. Come check it out. They give a spicy sauce with your chips. read more

Wonderful surprise when we walked in the door and started looking over the menu. The food was fantabulous! What a treasure. Sophia was most kind and extremely accomodating. read more

Muy delicioso! This was some of the best Mexican food I've had, ever. We started lunch with the stuffed fried jalapeños. They were so good. Our party got the stuffed fried avocado, chicken and veggies with the sour cream sauce and the chicken with seafood. I apologize that I can't remember the actual names of the dishes. All three dishes were very good. Mine had an enchilada and taco soup include, both were so good. Everything on the plates was just delicious. I wish I could think of a word that means more than delicious. It was just outstanding. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We even treated ourselves to churros and sopapillas. The place was clean and fresh. We can't wait to bring other family here. It's definitely worth trying out. read more

Delicious! Every single thing we ordered was so good! I highly recommend this place if you're in the Rowlett area. We had the Chile relleno, chicken taco salad, shrimp tacos, and nachos. The chips were fresh and the beans were AMAZING. I don't know what they put in the pinto beans, but it was unlike anything I've ever had, and I've lived in Texas all my 50 years. Not expensive, either. We used Uber Eats to get it delivered and it was fast and arrived hot and fresh! My parent's new favorite! read more

Food and server was great. We were both greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Stuffed Jalapeños are really good.

Never went back Better selections of Tex Mex in the area to bother with bad service and so-so food. read more

Food was good. I had beef fajitas and they were pretty tasty. Service was slow but they seemed a little short staffed. It's a pretty tiny restaurant though. Not many special requests... but one was no lemon in water and they put a lemon in the water. Only other one was no pico on the chicken quesadillas and they put the pico on the quesadillas. When another asked specifically what was on the veggie quesadillas...the waiter told her red and yellow bell peppers, corn, onions and cheese... nothing about green bell peppers and there was green bell peppers... she just picked them all off and they are minor issues. Despite those small things, I think it still was a good experience. read more

Nice addition to Rowlett and will definitely be back. My son loved the shrimp fajitas!

Good food. Their fajitas are great. Only down side is no alcohol served so no margaritas.

So Sad, when a good place is hurting and they start adding things to a bill. Hi, I don't want guac or sour cream but instead more beans on the nachos. Okay happy to do it. They then forget to add the extra the beans and bring it after the meal has arrived on a small plate. Okay...I can add it my self. Then charge you 2.50. Beans vs. Guac and sour cream. (I think that is a very fair trade) If I said no beans and double guac. I know that a avocado cost at least a dollar. So that would be expected. To the owners... Tis Tis...Nickels and dimes add up. Gaining a buck or to here and there adds up to. But losing a customers really can kill your little place. So a couple of things about the food. The flan looks good but it's hard which means that its been sitting in the fridge to long. This seems to be consistent with them not having a lot of people in the store which creates backup. The food is make and it sits. I have been 3 times, each time we are usually the only table. So that was the last time and I would like to thank the waiter for paying for the beans out of his tip. Oh, the flan is not good. The tortillas are store bought quality (which is not a good thing) Good Luck with your taco bell quality food and service. If could change some things, Fun uniforms for your staff. I don't want to see you sweaty cooks, so close off that view. Tint the windows, turn on some traditional tejano music and make the tortillas from scratch. Come on... Penche you can do it. Oh...the TV thing...your not a bar. For anyone looking for a better alternative. Look to the left if your sitting out front. read more

We recently tried this place in hopes of chowing down on some authentic Mexican fare and we were not disappointed by any means! The new owner of this previous burger joint turned Mexican cantina was very sweet and accommodating. He made great suggestions and the food was pretty darn delicious. I had the asado de puerco and it was among the most flavorful I had ever had. The rice was decent and the beans were pretty tasty for beans. The salsa was just okay but then it grew on me after time. The hot salsa was very hot on my palette. The red and green sauces were so good but SO HOT! I would absolutely recommend them. They are family owned and deserve to stick around. Price point is reasonable too' read more

The restaurant is in a great location. Small yet quaint with friendly service. My rating comes from the lack of satisfaction from the food. I ordered the Carne Asada with rice and beans and Beef Enchiladas(to go). The steak was so tough I could barely rip it with my hand. Very bland to taste, absolutely no seasoning. Only reason I ate it is because it cost $8.99. I doubt I'll return for a future visit. read more
