Kiko Restaurant & Pisco Bar

Amazing service, fantastic food. Highly recommend starting the meal with a Pisco Sour (even the virgin ones are great) and a skewer of grilled pork in addition to anything thing else you think might be enjoyed by your table. All the main dishes are soo good, so go with what sounds good yo you or one of the specials. And consider at minimum sharing the sweet potato flan (which comes with a scoop of ice cream too. You cannot help but enjoy the meal, and service provided by the owners is a simply top notch. A full meal like above with cost a little more than maybe some other restaurant but the food is of a significantly higher standard and deliousness (is that a word?) compared yo most restaurants in the county. A treat just waiting for you discover and enjoy.

I would give Kiko’s 10 Stars if I could. What a wonderful experience. Food was out of this world - fresh, well prepared, flavorful, and most fun - different. I had a seafood platter that included Octopus- it was FANTASTIC; great flavor, great texture, and expertly prepared. I would go back every week if I lived in SLO! Also, we met the owner (Kiko) and his wife - a great team with such a passion for what they are doing. JUST SUPERB!

My husband and I just ate here for the first time and we will definitely go back! The menu has lots of different interesting options and the menu items we had were delicious! The Pisco Sour drink is yummy (had to have 2)! I had the Osso Buco dinner and the meat was so tender. My husband had the Special Seafood dish which was also very good. The service was very attentive and not overbearing but there just in time. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Kiko was unbelievably good, can’t recommend more highly!! Couldn’t stop exclaiming how delicious and flavorful it was the whole meal. Ceviche and scallops appetizer were amazing. Got the surf and turf special that night and it was all cooked perfectly…the tacu tacu it came with was an unexpected highlight.

The food was excellent, fresh, and tasty. The seafood special was great - the octopus was surprisingly tender. The sweet potato flan and mousse were delicious and not overpoweringly sweet. Kiko, the owner, gave personalized service and was clearly passionate about what he does. Great experience - if we are ever in SLO again, we will be back.

Cannot recommend enough, so authentic and flavorful - we’ve been twice and have experiment around the menu, every dish impresses in a different way. High end food with great proportion sizes, big menu, good vegetarian options, great meats. Owner is in all the time and is very knowledgeable and genuine with the cuisine. Nice outdoor patio seating by the creek. One of the best restaurants in SLO

Peruvian hospitality at its finest in SLO.

We dropped by Kiko just before closing and were blown away by how welcoming they were. As someone who's part Peruvian and with partner being part Chilean, we know our Pisco—and Kiko’s is top-notch, they make their pisco in house and are leagues above the rest. We ended up having three rounds of Pisco Sours and loved every sip.

The real magic? They whipped up an off-menu specialty for us that was a perfect blend of Lomo Saltado and tenderloin, cooked to perfection. We didn't even plan on eating, but we couldn't resist.

This place is a gem. Five stars, will absolutely be back whenever we’re in town.

Oscar was our bartender and killed it on the drinks. The names of the two girls that took care of us on food ordering is slipping my ming ( McKenzie and Kayl ) I think .I blame that one the wonderful pisco, thank you you were fantastic hosts .
