5 Star Review By Severin Murphy
Our visit to this shop occurred during a recent recon trip taken by my little wife and I. We are moving to Yuma, AZ from Anaheim, CA and we drove out to check out what will be our new town. During our investigative pursuits, my travel partner got a “hankering” for helado. Being from Orange County we are frequent patrons of the La Michoacana Ice Cream shops which have recently been popping up all over. We began asking around for the Yuman equivalent. Six people in two different shops we asked at recommended Kiko's. Kiko's is a good old fashioned strip mall hole-in-the-wall Mexican-inspired ice cream shop. It is attached to a Mexican restaurant next door. The person who greeted and served us was friendly and fun. She had no problem with filling a cup I had with ice for me, which I found to be a great display of a devotion to outstanding customer service. I was too distracted by witty banter and deciding on my fare to remember to get her name, but she knows who she is. Well, it would be weird if she didn’t, anyways. My existential tangent aside, I march onward with this review. This spot serves everything we could think of wanting at an helado shop. The ice cream was real and creamy. Everything was autentico and our order really hit the spot. Once we move into the area we will def be regulars. The service was great, the ice cream was creamy and not all icy. The parking was close and safe. The portions and prices are on the bigger side and on the lower side, respectively.
