Such a vibrant restaurant, this is the first time here and will definitely be back. The pictures speak for themselves. Had breakfast there. I had the steak breakfast which had a nice flavor. Food came out hot. Portions size is good 8/10. Price is a not bad 8/10. Flavor of the food 8/10. I would highly recommend this place it's cute and great service. All the servers were very attentive and quick to respond. Only downside the parking lot is small . And it was cold in the restaurant. Great job guys a big big plus for me was that they did military discount. Ty so much guys

Been wanting to eat here for a while so expectations were HIGH! Every time we would pass by, it's always busy, so I figured it must be good. We came in on a Sunday morning, parking lot is small and packed. There was thankfully no wait, and we were able to get seated quickly even though it was busy. The waiter was very nice and attentive. The vibe inside was very warm, there was a lot of talking and laughing! We ordered the tres leches pancakes, breakfast tacos, and a side of rice and beans. Each bite was packed with flavor! We enjoyed everything we ordered from the food to the fresh orange juice and horchata.

Chilaquiles de Mole
Elizabeth E.

We have a monthly team lunch for work where we celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. November is my month so I chose Kikey's for our lunch. Our wait time was about 15 mins for a table large enough to accommodate our group. We all sat and scanned the QR code for the menu (well I already knew what I wanted from scoping the cafe for months ahead). The bright colors from the plates to decor were welcoming as was the friendly and helpful staff. We all said it was hard to decide because all of the options looked great on the website. I chose the chilaquiles de mole, there was a torta order, two French toast orders and tacos (no pic unfortunately). My chilaquiles de mole was robust with spice and deep flavors. Absolutely loved it! As soon as we got our plates we all dove in and then the rounds of mmmm's and yums started. Everything met or exceeded the expectations and everyone agreed that Kikey's would become a rotation for their brunches in the future. As a matter of fact we are coming back as a group in December!

We put off going to Kikey's because we were waiting for the hype to go down. It's been a few years and it's still crazy busy. We came for Saturday breakfast and it blew our minds. The food was delicious. It's the best breakfast food I've had in the Seattle area. Everything was perfectly cooked, the flavors were amazing and the portion sizes were massive. Restaurant is small and busy so expect a wait. It's worth it. We are already looking forward to coming back. The service was top notch. I can only say good things about Kikey's!

Wow this place is amazing! I've been searching for a spot that rivals some of the Mexican cafes back home in Southern California and this is it! The food is unbelievable, so flavorful and authentic. Their breakfast is what we came for, but we will be back for dinner soon. The churro pancakes came with a dulce de leche sauce, ice cream, bananas and whipped cream. They were the perfect sweet treat to share. The breakfast parilla was super filling, cheesy, and hit the spot. My partner loved the chilaquiles burrito. The service was super friendly, we went around 9:30 and got seated immediately. The restaurant has a super fun vibe with great ambience. You can tell this is a neighborhood gem. We can't wait to come back!!

Eggs Benedict Mexico 2 English muffin 2025 - $17.99

Locally family owned and operated. This authentic Mexican restaurant has wonderful food. Regional Recipes handed down from family and it shows in the dishes. Ambiance 4 Stars - established near the Seattle airport, it is located in small building with minimal parking space. So, you will need to find space in another lot or business. The decor is friendly, homey, but a modern vibe twist. Mi Casa Su Casa is how we felt. The are about 30 tables that could seat 2-8 people. The tables and chairs were solid and clean. Because of the popularity of their regional food , it can get loud when all the tables are full. Service 4.5 Stars - our host and server were friendly, professional and welcoming. They made you feel like family. Our server has a beautiful and relaxing smile and answered all of our questions. Though we had some confusion on the Cafe - Espresso order but we can't hold that against her. Food: 3.5 - 4.5 Stars Get ready to unbuckle or loose you pants cuz they give you a healthy portion of food. It was wonderful and surprising for the price. Coffee w Espresso- 3.5 stars - it was okay. The beans were different and tasted light on the Espresso. Breakfast Entrees: 1. Eggs Benedict with a litte touch of Mexico - 2 Toasted English muffin, poached eggs, grilled tomatoes, Garnished with Hollandaise sauce, Chorizo, salsa Verde, house potatoes and side salad. 4.25 stars The poached eggs were perfect, light and the creamy yolk blended nicely into chorizo and muffin. The diced chorizo was seasoned well and not too spicy. 2. Asada Burrito - 4.5 Stars Carne Asada, pinto refried beans, rice and cheese mexi blend. Served with Pico de Gallo on the side and house potatoes. All of their burritos are large! Excellent leftover food if you can't eat it all. The carne asada was tendered and flavorful with the perfect balance of the Mexican seasoning and not too salty. We asked for a hotter salsa and they brought three different homemade blends. The salsa verde was the top choice. Right amount of heat, cilantro, lime and tomatillo sauce. We would stayed longer but had to catch our next flight. Glad we came and will definitely be in my Seattle Favorites for the next time we are here.

Avocado Toast
Rhett B.

On our yearly trip to Seattle, my beautiful wife and I had to find something close to the airport for brunch and Kikey's was quite the find! The decor would be what you would expect to find in a Mexican restaurant with a Mexican superhero? And Day of the Dead decor. I ordered a horchata and my wife ordered a horchata coffee to start things off. My horchata was excellent which in my opinion you just have to make it taste not like water and Kikey's passed! My wife enjoyed her coffee but said it was a little too sweet for her first thing in the morning. I went with the wet burrito and it was massive! The sauces on top especially the Verde was delicious with a little bit of heat. The steak was seasoned well but had more than one piece of grizzled mixed in. My wife enjoyed the avocado toast as it came with some kind of avocado dip. She added bacon and Kikey's didn't hold back for $5 extra dollars. Kikey's will be a go to for us whenever we need a place to eat close to the airport. The drinks and toast were superb and even though there was some grizzled in the burrito, it doesn't outweigh the amount of food or the amount of steak I received.

Torta
Nin A.

Was a highly rated place and highly recommended to us to come check this place out! A couple of times we had to wait longer than 30 min since you have to take note that it's not a big place to really dine into especially during the weekends! Unfortunately had to pass those couple of times due to the wait. Our French toast was great but as for the torta I don't think it was up to my standards if that makes sense (I've definitely had better). The ambiance of the place though it's really cool and very much kinda like a small diner place, I do love their plates and cups that they use to present the food!

Chorizo breakfast burrito - IG @bougiefoodieboi

My friend hyped this place up as the best breakfast burrito in town, and he said it several years ago before it got so busy. I tried to go here a few times - on a Sunday 8am I called and they said a 45-60 min wait, which is crazy. I then went on a Thursday at 1pm and there was still a 20-30 min wait, so I gave up and just placed a takeout order. If it's that hyped now, it must be good? Yes it's good but honestly overhyped. I got the breakfast burrito with chorizo which came with breakfast potatoes and salsa on the side. $17.99 before tax comes out to almost $20 after tax, which is quite expensive, but the portions are large such that this was the only thing I needed to eat for the rest of the day (aside from protein shake and other light stuff) The breakfast burrito is nicely grilled on both sides and stuffed with rice, beans, and eggs scrambled with chorizo. It's hard to pinpoint the chorizo specifically but it's there in good quantities. The green salsa complements the dish well. Breakfast potatoes were okay and not necessary - I'd love if they had an option to take it out for a less expensive order. It's overall very filling and flavorful, and it was pretty good. I am not sure I would wait this long or brave the dine in waitlist at any time of the day after 8am to try again, but would happily order the burrito again if it's not as big of a time sink. The takeout order was quoted 8-10 min from both the host and the counter cashier but it actually took 20 min so I almost ran late to my other appointment, so better estimates would be appreciated. They told me to wait outside but after 15 min, nothing. At the 20 min mark I had to walk back inside only for them to deliver the order... imagine how long I'd be wasting my time if I just chilled outside? I took off a star for this.

French toast with the plumpest blueberries
Cristiana M.

Exceptional service, delicious food, large portions, traditional decor, clean restaurant and restrooms! Just the perfect combination of factors to attract us back. Totally recommended!

Pancake (1)
Desiree M.

What a GEM! Everything was AMAZING!!!! The crispy bacon get a side you won't regret it, it's so flavorful and thick. I had two of the tacos and they were to die for! Taco Campechano! A whole new level of taco for me. I would come here just for the tacos. That cheese crust makes it so different and unique! Taco de Pallo! Equally as good but the first one was different and yummy. The pancake OMG come here if your craving pancakes just do it! They are the size of the plate, one is enough!

Chile Asado
Hannah J.

I've been here a few times because I am always down for breakfast all-day. Their drinks are super delicious and fun! I always get their tres leches plate, it comes with so much food, and it's always cooked the same way, which is just right for me. The vibes inside are hip and a bit of street art, will be back at Kikey's!

I've been moping around in my own head because there's no comparable restaurant to my favorite place in OKC, and then I came across this place and I thought...maybe? The ambiance looks comparable (bright colors, fun and quirky, etc), and the menu does have some parallel dishes, so we came to see on a Sunday. It's definitely earned the ratings, as the place was never empty. There were always groups or couples waiting to get in, us included. Everyone working in there is just zooming around nonstop. Food - we got the breakfast parrilla, huevos rancheros and a stack of the mazapán pancakes. All flavors were suave but had depth. The mazapán crumble and milky juiciness really made them stand out. My parrilla was great and very filling, but the potatoes weren't cooked all the way, making them slightly hard to chew. My husband said his potatoes were the same, so it must've been the batch cooked. He really enjoyed the huevos and I really liked the tomate and the rice. I do wish my parrilla came with more chips or a side of rolled tortillas. Service - we were basically served by the owner the entire time and he was very warm and welcoming, even offering us a better table with more space. Drinks - I really liked both coffee drinks. The chocolate was flavorful and heavy, and the horchata latte was very balanced. My husband was disappointed by the latter, as he said it tasted more like cinnamon and coffee, but...I mean...it IS a coffee drink lol. I drank both while he enjoyed the quite large michelada. The chamoy covered gummies were a very nice touch. Overall, the food is good and I get the ratings and the hype. Is it comparable to Cafe Kacao? Not 100% but it's a sister and she's trying to her most earnest so we applaud her for it. Prices were on par for Seattle, however I was a bit taken aback by the carne asada fries being $26...that better be a big, heaping dish for that price point, especially when other dishes were under that price point.

Good Mexican restaurant in West Seattle…read more Ordered carne asada specialty platter. Definitely big enough for two if you aren't crazy hungry Very authentic. Wife loved it Definitely expected more affordable pricing for location but the actual dish itself was nicely done. Would recommend if you are in the neighborhood and will go back again for another dish in the future to try more of their food.

El Catrin has become a favorite Mexican restaurant of ours for this part of Seattle. What grabbed…read moreour attention with it was that they serve Huitlacoche which I'd a corn fungus which is a delicacy in Mexico and Central America. It's something that is pretty rare to find with all of the Mexican restaurants I have been to El Catrin is the only one where it has been found. We had it on the side with rice, lettuce and tomato. The flavor for it is mushroom like with a sweet, savory, woody and smoky flavor that is corn like. It was very unique and delicious! In addition to that we got some totally awesome nachos which out of this world! We made a second trip back here and I got their Chile Relleno which totally blew me away! It was fabulous! The tortillas that came with it were simply marvelous! Steve got an excellent quesadilla! The wait may be a tad long but it's so worth waiting for. I really can't praise the food enough! We are located in Tacoma and El Catrin is in an unincorporated Seattle neighborhood and so the drive is at least half an hour on a good day but we wouldn't hesitate in making a trip up here just for this restaurant! I can't say that for many restaurants but I certainly would with El Catrin. Fresh, flavorful and a sheer delight we will be coming here with any opportunity we can seize!
