Absolutely love this place!! The food is amazing and the staff is amazing. I couldn't recommend it enough

We went to Kiko's for lunch and while the food was good, the atmosphere and cost will keep us from coming back. Charging $18.95 for ONE relleno with rice and beans is outrageous. It was the size of a kids meal. We will happily stick with our go to Mexican restaurant where we can pay the same price and have leftovers to take home. They also charged $6.25 for a bottle of Corona. Laughable. The place is also very grungy and dirty. The bowl full of creamer on our table was full of already used creamer cups that looked to have been there awhile. The place could use a massive deep cleaning. If their dining room looks and feels dirty, it makes me wonder what the condition of the kitchen is. If you are looking for a big, hearty meal, skip Kiko's. You might leave hungry. read more

Went here following early morning meeting in Brighton, absolutely delicious, muy sabroso, food, totally authentic, real Mexican food, prepared and served comfortably by great Mexican family and staff. We had menudo, pozole, steak burritos smothered with delicious green chile, homemade salsa and chips. Everything we had was prepared fresh and with quality care. No cutting corners! Parking is easy right out front. Very highly recommended! We will definitely return when back up in Brighton. read more

I love this place. My favorite Mexican restaurant of all times. Grew up in Sac but left 25 years ago. Anytime I am home I make it a point to go eat there. My go to is a Beef Taco, cheese enchilada combo plate with a side of gravy (Not Sause). The beef in the tacos is so yummy. read more

Settled on Kikos while visiting a state park nearby. I'm thinking I didn't order some of the right things, but also if you're a solid restaurant all of your items should be at least decent. The service was friendly and quick and the interior was clean. Chips and Salsa was good. The salsa was great, not too spicy. Soft Chile Relleno Smothered in Cream Sauce. It was nice and big and the cream sauce was delicious, but there was way too much cheese for my liking. The cilantro lime rice didn't have much of a lime taste and was pretty bland. The chicken taquito was quite sad. It was way too hard and small. Plus the chicken was dry as hell with no flavor. Kikos has a free check in on yelp that I was happy to see. It was a free order of sopapillas. However, when I showed them the offer they said they didn't have sopapillas.. she came back after talking with the manager and offered me a churro. It came out freshly made, but it was too hard. Overall, a decent spot, but probably not the greatest in the area. read more

We love Kikos! The team is always in a great mood. They are a pleasure to deal with. The prices are good and the food is yum. We used to do Taco Tuesdays with them. They are no longer opened on Tuesdays . This particular time we ordered breakfast tacos which were loaded with yummy deliciousness. The huevos rancheros was also yum. The star of the menu is their 7 or 9 layer dip. The dip gets inhaled! Highly recommend Kikos if you're in the area and want some delicious Mexican food. read more

I hunt for great breakfast burritos, and this place has some of the best hand (to go) around! Amazing

Everything is always so good here we have never been disappointed and the service is the best!

Los cocineros tienen muy buen sazón. Nosotros somos muy particulares con el menudo y es el único lugar en Brighton donde nos a gustado. Siempre lo ordenamos de aquí. Tiene buen sabor y lo lavan bien. Seguiremos regresando por su deliciosa comida. read more

Awesome place! We were out in Brighton looking for goats believe it or not and thought we would stop and get some lunch. My brother in-law came up with this place after looking them up on Yelp. I was a little skeptical at first but figured we would give it a shot. Every one was really friendly and super helpful in getting our table figured out as it was pretty busy. The waitress was super sweet and even apologized for running around like crazy, but she did a great job taking care of us. We ordered the platinum margaritas which were nice and tasty and only $7. Not a bad deal at all. We started off with the 9 Layer Dip which ended up being like a soup or stew once all the layers were mixed together. It was REALLY good. It could easily be a meal all by itself. It had layers of beans, cheese, sour cream, ground beef, green chile, corn, and a few other layers that I can't really remember. It was spicy and hearty. We had it with chips, but it would be even better with tortillas on the side. I ordered the combo with a crispy relleno, cheese enchilada, Mexican rice (they offer cilantro lime rice also), and beans. I ordered half/half on the green chile (half mild/half hot) on the relleno. So glad I did, cause the hot was HOT, and it was really crispy. The enchilada was nice and cheesy and the rice and beans were delish. I stole a piece of hubby's tortilla to clean up my plate if you know what I mean. Hubby and my brother in law love spicy food and both ordered hot green chile with their meals and they had the sniffles while eating it. It was a good hot though, not too hot to enjoy it. We even ordered some food to go for my son who loves hot food and he wanted more. Don't forget to check in with Yelp because you get an order of sopapillas when you do. They were really good. I grew up with my mom making tortillas which were sometimes cut and fried into sopapillas, and these were just like them. Sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and served with honey on the side. I can't wait to come back! I have a couple of friends that I want to come with and I also want to bring my dad to check it out. I think they will LOVE it. Cheers! read more

Great quiet little place. The food was great and portions were large. Menu is big with choices. Food was hot and fresh

We just moved up north from Denver where Mexican restaurants were everywhere, and most were great. Thornton lacks this, so our friends said try kiko's in Brighton which is just a 15 minute drive for us. This is our new go to, period! Salsa was great, green chili was on point, and everything else we ate was phenomenal. We consider ourselves Mexican food snobs with impossible standards, and this place blew us away. Nice work, we'll be back about once a week I'm sure. PS: service was great as well. And.... a friend in our party fell right out front in the snow and the staff came rushing out to check on her; we appreciated your concern. read more

The food is very good. Tried the breakfast burrito and it was so large and tasty, I enjoyed it so much. I have been here three times and I was never disappointed. Great place to eat if in Brighton and not far enough to not go if craving their food when at home. read more

It was good and the restaurant and the restrooms were clean! The food was good and the service was great! We didn't have to wait too long for our food! I ordered the beans, rice and enchiladas and the food was good! The atmosphere was a little small and crowded! Like we need another Mexican restaurant in town! But It was good! I suggest they expand and get a bigger place! read more

Food was amazing. Salsa has so much flavor with perfect amount of kick. Can't remember the names of our entrees but we loved them both. It's alot of food. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Great place to stop if you fly into Denver then are driving to Estes Park. read more

Great food and very nice employees! I do have to say the salsa is delicious! The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because of the price for my chilaquiles and the crappy preparation. Chilaquiles here are $12.75. Most places charge less than $10. Today, I basically paid $13 bucks for dried tortilla chips with some chorizo, beans, guacamole and the fixings. Come on Kiko's.....Your food is usually amazing but $13 for dried tortilla chips???? I should have just paid $5 for a large tortilla chips and salsa and ordered a side of beans. read more

The staff is always friendly. I personally like my chili rellenos soft and they are really good at producing a solid chili relleno. Their hard shell beef tacos are pretty outstanding as well and they are only $2 on Tuesday. The shrimp diabla is a spicy as any I've had and they didn't overcook the shrimp. Overall it's good, fresh, thoughtfully prepared Mexican food. read more

Found ourselves up in Brighton today in time to find some dinner. Decided on Kiko's based on other reviews. What a great choice and the other reviews were spot on! The staff was very welcoming, accomodating, and efficient. We were a party of 6 and had a variety of orders. I highly recommend the salads, particularly the Ensalada Al Pastor. Great portion and flavor. We were talking so much that I can't tell you what everyone else had, but they were all members of the clean plate club when we came up for air! The salsa is delicious, very flavorful and just the right balance of spice. The food is fresh, reasonably priced. I am absolutely a fan! read more

Where to start? Well, I don't know Brighton at all, so ...of course I turned to my trusted Yelp app to guide me to a tasty Mexican restaurant for lunch! Sure as today is a beautiful 60 degree day, Yelp found me this place. And let me tell you, my friend, this place does not disappoint. I ordered an avocado cheese, green chili relleno. Holy moly! It was so tasty, it blew me away! I can see why this place stays busy with a steady stream of customers. The salsa that they serve with the chips before ordering food is the best salsa I've ever had at a Mexican restaurant, not lying. I also had some soppapias for desert. Besides the food, the waitress was very pleasant, the food came out quickly, and the restaurant was clean. I'm tremendously glad that I came here for lunch today. If I'm ever back in Brighton, I'll stop back in for sure. For the residents of Brighton, if you haven't yet tried Kikos, give it a try! read more

Great food, service and nice manager! They were very kind and grateful for us the be there and we received our food quickly exactly as we ordered it. read more

Tried this place last week, wanted something quick. The salsa was great, I ordered the Carne Asada Plate and it was very good with great flavor. read more

- Nice find in Brighton, easy to locate and park - Delicious meat (some of the best al pastor I've had), but the shrimp was disappointing (we should have known better than to be wooed by the pictures) - Good flavor and freshness to the food, and obviously made with a lot of care and attention - Orders made on the spot. We came Saturday around lunch and the place was about half full; service was moderately attentive and food was a little slow. We weren't in a rush, but don't expect your food super fast. Tacos probably would have been faster. - When I come again I'll definitely be going with the basics like tacos; they looked amazing. read more

Great little place with great food and staff. Highly recommended. Always busy, and staff is friendly.

Just a quaint family business but the food was delicious and the service very attentive. Endless chips and home made salsa. Went 10 miles out of our way to go there and were glad we did. read more

We enjoyed this mexican restaurant tonight. It was close to home, no wait, quick service (but not too quick), reasonably priced, and a nice menu selection. The food was delicious. I got the chili relleno, and the hubs got a mexican hamburger. We thought the portions were large. The food was also piping hot. It's not fancy at all. But quite perfect for a quick bite to eat. read more

Kikos Authentic Mexican Food - Chili relleno with mild green chili sauce. - Mexican Near Me - Brighton, Colorado

I frequent this place during the lunch hour with several of my colleagues and I have to say they consistently feed us great food. The staff is always friendly and the meal is prepared quickly and to order. Brighton has a lot of mexican cuisine but none of which is as good and "home cooked" as Kikos. The location is a little off the beaten path and parking is kind of odd but it's worth finding them and giving them a try. read more

Very good, small place with good food, amazing coffee, great for breakfast. Nice service and easy menu. Fast breakfast

Best Mexican food in town! My all time fave. Get there early for lunch. They get busy and for good reason.

Hands down the best Mexican spot in Brighton. Little hole in the wall that's hard to spot off of main st but if you find it, you hit the jackpot. Prices are very reasonable and kid friendly. I've had several dishes and they're all great. read more

Very delicious and love their bowl of green Chile with rice fresh and just right. Also their menudo is very popular I'm not a menudo fan but my husband loved it. We always come when we visit the family. We can't find a place thing this back home. Definitely recommend it read more

Good food, small portions. I have gone twice on the day they have chicken enchiladas on special. Both times, they said they ran out. Are they doing a bate and switch? read more

Kikos is Absolutely Amazing My Wife begs me to pick her up the Regular "Mojarra Frita" at least a couple times a week omg! We Love Kikos so much the staff is so friendly and the food so so good thank you Kikos!!!!!! read more

My wife and I tried this little place out before a movie. I'll get the cons out of the way first. I ordered a dish that was supposed to come with rice and beans...only got the rice. Also the guacamole tostada wasn't guac...it was just a cut up avocado. My wife asked for extra sour cream...and the waitress got busy with a larger table of 6 and never came back until we were finished. On the plus side the waitress was friendly, and the food all tasted very fresh and flavorful. I'd try again, hopefully will get just a little more attention. read more

This is the real deal. No need for hot sauce to add flavor. My kids loved lunch here. Great hide away place. Best rellenos I've had in years. Most are greasy an heavy. Mine was good. Shrimp was my daughter's favorite. read more
