I went to Kiko’s earlier this week. Had the same food from this episode. Xavier was outside. When I asked him if he was the Xavier from the video, his face lit up with that smile from this video. He talked with us and thanked us for coming down. You could tell he is a humble dude!
I’m a San Diego Native living in Los Angeles now, but seeing my hometown getting the recognition we deserve is an amazing thing. San Diego has everything and it’s its own world that’s different than LA or any other big city. It’s special. Big ups💯🙌🏽
I’m a native of SD. Kikos is the best. When family visit and they ask where’s the best Mexican seafood I always tell them Kiko”s. They laugh when I tell them it’s a food truck so bring a folding chair and enjoy.
Just got back from San Diego and accidentally found this place one day during the trip. Y’all their food is so bomb it’s surreal. My husband is Vietnamese and *very* picky about the quality and freshness of his seafood & he damn near had tears in his eyes while he was tucking away ceviche and tacos. It was a cold day and they were even giving out complimentary caldo to keep warm while eating and waiting.
I almost don't even want to watch this cause it looks so good. Look at those portions and presentation. Good thing I usually cook and watch these videos at the same time.
San Diego REPRESENT! Hey fellow San Diego peeps reading this! I've been to Kikos and it is by far the BEST Mexican seafood tacos I've ever experienced. Also their caldo that they serve in little sample cups are TO DIE FOR. I highly recommend going there for those who want a good flavor explosion in their mouths.
El Pueblo off of Birmingham in Encinitas has the BEST fried fish taco. You put the green salsa on it and they're amazing. The best part is they're $1.29 a piece and I don't know how another restaurant could make them better
@metasocialmedia from the video, that looks like Mission/Fashion valley, which when I went, is right where it's at. Google says there's two and I remember when I went there for the second time 6 years ago, it also said two. The one I went to is across the street from the Fashion Valley Mall Trolley/Transit center, at the intersection of Friars Road and Fashion Valley Rd
Im from Chula Vista and I love Kikos! I've been going there for a years. Took my brother from San Jose and he loves it now! Some of the best 🌮🌮 in the 619🤘🏼♥️ Gracias Mario!
Kiko's even takes aguas frescas to the next level. They serve Jamaica with generous slathering of Chamoy and Tajin around the rim of the cup. So delicious and mouth watering. This video is the Mission Valley location behind Hazard Center. The Friars Road location is great too.
I'm pretty sure this is in mission valley and is a stone's throw from my apartment. I've always said i should try it, but I just never have for some reason. I'm going to go visit it this weekend though because of this video now
Can't help but be stoked for Paco when he stood up surfing. Oh the tacos I'm sure were excellent. We take that for granted here in socal. My dream is to open a taco spot in south of France in Carry le rouet.
Wow- thanks for captivating this chill, relaxed vibe that we San Diegan Mexican-Americans have. I was just talking to someone about this the other day- we are different from other Mexican-Americans in the state and I think it has to a lot to do with the beach culture. 😂 Also, we aren’t afraid of being bi-cultural/bilingual. I’ll hang out during the day at the beach with my White friends, then go have dinner in Tijuana with my Mexican friends. We have the best of both worlds. ❤
Not San Diego but in 1967 when I first started going south fish tacos were 10/buck. Cooked in lard, of course, and angel fish obtained from the fresh fish market across the street. Somehow the owner of the cart kept track of how many we'd bought. Three of us devoured 23 one time as we had just returned from surfing and were in our early 20's.
@@m3pgi16this one is on the street behind hazard center between Mission and Fashion Valley. Kinda close to the SD river. Not sure if one of the trucks you’re talking about moved or this is a new one? The one on Texas st from what I remember, isn’t a Kikos anymore.
I went to boarding school in Ensenada and will never forget the fish tacos and salsa we got. Need to make a trip back to experience the real deal next time!
Don’t even remember the names but there were two dynamite taco joints in San Diego walking distance from the Embassy Suites in San Diego the last time I was there
Justo veia la garnacha que apapacha y todos le decían que es el primero en ir a juarez a presumir sus burros y les conte de esta bella serie y wow, veo que regresaste
Bro! Ya se nos hizo bien Surfer dude. Te podrias quedar aqui en San Diego un mez y aun si, you would miss alot! The best tamales in town are in a puestesito right outside a liquor store on 29th and University Blvd. Se me hace agua la boca pensando de un Oaxaceno alli
San Diego might not have as much as LA...but it is like Mediterranean of USA ⛪🚢 Amazing Italian restaurants 🍝 Amazing Spanish/Mediterranean architecture and navy ships ⛪ and the duality of both Tijuana and SD is like two different sides of the same coin 🌃🤞🌆
Holy cow, i drive by this truck all the time and always tell my girlfriend i should stop by and grab something from it, but I never have. I think i know where I'm going this weekend for some food now!
I know the episode is seafood themed, but I hope Francisco gets to go to las quatros milpas to eat since he's down there. I think about that place all the time
Im not mexican but for me its the shell or tortilla cooked crispy a good salsa from scratch and fresh ingredients chicken, beef, or fish onions white or red , lettuce cabbage and creme if you cant handle hot chunky salsa with frwsh cilantro. Even a lot people using pork or pork skin etc... i presume alot these are fatty so they cut it with hot spices .
One thing or few things I notice with Mexicans they like fresh hot peppers 🌶 and guacamole and beans in tacos . Which are probably cheaper down south. Also fish tacos go good with creme herb instead of salsa but they use sliced or diced tomatoes.
🌮 Taco twist: Ever wondered why tacos are typically served in pairs? Legend has it that they're like the culinary version of a high-five - a perfect way to celebrate the tasty team-up of flavors and ingredients! Double the tacos, double the deliciousness! 🌮🙌
The host’s accent is so thick in English, but then it’s also really thick when he speaks Spanish. I’m so confused! I feel like he’s putting it on and laying it thick for the camera!
@@yusalcido2600 And? people move there to live and Tijuana hardly ever has people migrating from that city, if it were so violent, people would be fleeing but they do not...
Only thing that sucks about fish tacos all over San Diego is that they no longer use ocean fish . They use tilapia or basa wish is sold as white sea bass because of the name , but it's actually a fresh water fish family of the cat fish. These fish don't have that same taste as the original Baja fish taco made from ocean fish . But that's the price you pay for the high prices of good quality fish that limit small businesses from being able to purchase them.

I’m currently during him
Mario seems such like a kind-hearted and chill guy . Wished I could be that mellow.
YOU CAN
Because he's a longboarder. Don't drop in on him though
He's definitely got some native or Aztec blood dude has such distinct features
@@postpwnmalone I dunno. He used the spanish words "super bien" which to me I have seen mostly like paraguayans use. But who knows. :)

You are gorgeous
It's such a shame Vice self destructed and destroyed Munchies too. Fransisco you gotta start your own youtube channel man!
Right crew, proper food. SF/
How did they self destruct?
Have you seen anything from them that isnt shit in years? @banndboy9269

When I go south to surf now I have a mission to find this taco truck. Great food combinations!

That surfer dude is so chill, I wanna be his friend 🤙🏻
I’m from LA and I gotta say that San Diego puts SoCal on another level with their gastronomy. I just wanna try all the food!!
They have the same food in LA. Holbox was given best restaurant by The Los Angeles Times this year. It's also Marisco (seafood).
I’m from Northern California but ima chose LA food all day. Best Mexican, Korean & Arab food on the planet. SD does too much Tex Mex
@@ghernandez2263seriously, they put cheese and/or cream on everything.
This spot and Tacos el Gordo are the best taco places in San Diego, hands down.
For me between the two, Kikos hands down. Just so damn good, especially their caldo that they serve in sample cups.
Which kikos is this? I’m
Familiar with 3 spots but don’t recognize this one. I know the two in mission valley and the one off Texas street

Que rico la comida. Tengo muy hambre viendo eso. Saludos desde Suecia
Comida rica Mexican saludos cordiales desde México 🇲🇽
Eating kikos place og fish tacos and oysters as I'm watching this! RUclips suggested this video when I sat down to eat
Best looking tacos I've ever seen inspiration on taco Tuesday. San Diego looks super cool 🌊
Damn I miss when they were right off Texas!! Now they are right by the Chic Fil A in Mission Valley!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kikos is legendary in the city he went to the right place
Kikos after surfing is always the best 🤙
I work right here! Love kikos, there damn near every Tuesday !
Damn Ralphie always on point dropping dem knowledge bombs shouts out from Atlanta much ♥️⚡⚡⚡!
That man should own a 5 star restaurant incredible food so simple
i love TACOS . .
Love Kikos is the best in San Diego, gracias Paco!!!
This was such a dope episode I just had fish tacos 🌮 last week in San Diego at this restaurant called SALUD 🍻
This was awesome! Keep it up!
Awwwww qué hermoso y delicioso todoooo!

Wow these tacos look amazing
I don't get it. Are there two Kiko's Place in San Diego owned by different people? Or are they under the same owner.
Figured out there are two different Kiko's in San Diego with different owners.
Kiko’s is legit ppl if you’re ever in SD it’s a must try
Hola. Amigo me gustan mucho tus vídeos has más blogs de restaurantes mexicanos
Been there 3 times and it's fantastic 👏
Dope episode. But I don't think I'll be chillen on top of that electrical box.
Definitely will try Kikos when I'm down there

what is this beach called in san diego where they went to surf
3:50 does anyone know what genre the background music is?
Sounds like Ska a little bit or like Funk rock too
San Diego might not have as much as LA...but it is like Mediterranean of USA
⛪🚢
Amazing Italian restaurants 🍝
Amazing Spanish/Mediterranean architecture and navy ships ⛪ and the duality of both Tijuana and SD is like two different sides of the same coin 🌃🤞🌆
The mediterranean of the usa would definitely be florida. I like San Diego better though as I lived there a long time.
@@argaen21 Not too sure I think it's seen more as 'Tropical'?? Or even Caribbean?? Since it's so humid. We are more like desert with wildfires...
@@argaen21Florida has that mosquito swamp weather. California is Americas Mediterranean
Brown on brown how it should be 💯✊🏽🇲🇽
Where is this truck located? I wish it was in Encinitas!
This truck needs to park in front of my house.
food looks amazing bro !
Holy cow, i drive by this truck all the time and always tell my girlfriend i should stop by and grab something from it, but I never have. I think i know where I'm going this weekend for some food now!
Fish tacos en ensenada !! Saludos bro !!
I pass that truck all the time, it's in mission valley
San Diego is practically Baja Norte at this point. Orale ! Chingon
Happy for the coverage of kikos but damn now its gonna be hella packed 😭
FRANCISO BACK ON TOP! ORALE
im stayin in north san diego, near escondido for a wedding. is there any good baja fish tacos there?
I know this is about seafood tacos, but in San Diego lamb tacos go to El Borrego restaurant
Google map shows 2 kikos in sd . Are they the same?
i used to eat a kikos back in the day when i had to go to san diego everyday the fish tacos back in the day used to only be $1
Kikos taco truck is the bomb 💣
Great way to fine great food.
I know the episode is seafood themed, but I hope Francisco gets to go to las quatros milpas to eat since he's down there. I think about that place all the time

Kikos is not exactly close to the ocean. It's next to a Westfield strip mall in Mission Valley 😂😂
7 miles from mission beach. But I hear you.

En que lugar está KIKOS
Baja, Mexico is the perfect place to live on the planet
...You sure about that? Maybe for foreigners, but Tijuana has been many years in a row in the top 5 of the most violent cities in the world.
Tijuana is the only part of Baja
@@yusalcido2600 And? people move there to live and Tijuana hardly ever has people migrating from that city, if it were so violent, people would be fleeing but they do not...
@@yusalcido2600 I wouldn’t even count Tijuana as part Baja , I mean 250-400 miles south
