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. 🙂
@argaen21 i dont know what but hes something lol such a chill vibe, he’s that surfer dude
This truck needs to park in front of my house.
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.
I concur! 😎🤙🏽
Ima need to go
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
Are there more than one Kiko’s Place in San Diego?
@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
4:14 That is a beautiful indigenous man 😍
We have such an underrated food culture out here
That surfer dude is so chill, I wanna be his friend 🤙🏻
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.
That Baja fish taco was looking very authentic!
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?
@aarondoy6806this video is amazing.
Not really 🤷🏻
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💯🙌🏽
Stop stealing Mexican food then
Making them sound like if Americans
Invented them .
Tacos de Pescado son de Baja California Sur México
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!
Kikos is legendary in the city he went to the right place
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. ❤
Comida rica Mexican saludos cordiales desde México 🇲🇽
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.
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!
Where is Kikos posted up at, so I can go try for myself, now that I’m all hungry 😅😅😅
Makanan yang enak dan sehat1🇲🇨🇲🇨👍
I’m currently during him
Chill af episode
Felicidades, hermanos. La cultura Latina sigue viviendo por su herencia y raíces. Saludos desde Brooklyn, Nueva York 🇵🇷
🇲🇽🇲🇽
As a native San Diego gal, this warmed my heart seeing us on the map! This is exactly what SD is.
You are gorgeous
If your not Indeginous you shouldn’t Say Native . Native stands for original Indeginous people of the Land
I noticed that Africans and European
Decents say that .
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.
What’s cold by SD standards?
