" From the second I walked into Carnitas Kiko's, I felt the welcoming atmosphere. It is clean, and the smell of the fresh carnitas lingers beautifully in the air. I ordered a platter with different kinds of meats; they must have the best seasoned carnitas anywhere. Each bite was meltingly tender and packed with flavor, truly an authentic taste of Mexico! I will definitely return whenever I'm in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I ate here, I was first struck by the ambiance, which feels cozy and true to its roots. The tacos I ordered were quite flavorful and fulfilling. However, the serving staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. I had to remind them of my drink order, which was disappointing. If it weren't for that hiccup, I would have rated it higher. Still, I must acknowledge the quality of the food, which is excellent! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I stop by Carnitas Kiko's, I'm reminded of the great food I used to enjoy back in Michoacán. The carnitas are legendary here, and the staff is incredibly friendly. However, service can be slow, especially during busy hours. It’s a small price to pay for authentic, homemade flavors, but something to keep in mind. I've never left disappointed, and I'm sure I'll keep coming back for those delectable tacos surtidos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I must say the carnitas are some of the best I’ve tasted! The flavors are spot on and remind me of authentic Michoacán street food. Although we visited during peak lunch hours, the service was decent, and we still got our food in a reasonable time. The atmosphere is lively and fun; if you're looking for a true slice of Tijuana's culinary scene, this is it. Definitely returning on my next trip. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumble into Carnitas Kiko's after hearing great reviews, and wow, I was blown away! Located in the charming Hidalgo Market, this place gives off that authentic Tijuana vibe. The tacos are not just delicious; they are made fresh with great attention to detail. The staff was friendly, guiding me through their menu without hesitation. I ordered the tacos surtidos, and they were a burst of flavor! I felt I was transported back to my childhood, indulging in homemade tortillas and fresh toppings. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carnitas Kiko's has a reputation for a reason. The food is on point, especially the carnitas; they are delightful and packed with flavor. On my visit, I enjoyed quick service, and the freestyle vibe inside the market gave a unique dining experience. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore other menu items! However, a little more attention to detail, especially on presentation, wouldn't hurt. Still, I’d definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)
