kiosco

wonderful service by people who genuinely want to please. the outdoor patio is beautiful with a privacy wall and nice plantings. verygoodfood and very reasonably priced. well worth a visit.

good food, great service. i love this place as much for the friendly, efficient service, as the food, which is pretty darn good, in its own right - not as "authentic" as some would insist you must have to be agoodmexican restaurant., but pretty good.

what some folks do not seem to realize, or choose to ignore, in their rush to identify the next great "authentic" cuisine restaurant, is that authentic dishes can be as poorly prepared and poorly served as its non-authentic counterpart - tripe is not for everyone, silver dollar sized tacos with a dab of dry animal is not what everyone is seeking as a dining experience, and a menu that is difficult to understand does not guarantee quality.

the carnitas, an authentic mexican dish some consider boring, are excellent - tender, moist, with a nice crust, and great taste. the carne asada also delivers, with well grilled shredded beef, pico de gallo with an attitude and tons of fresh cilantro, and an outstanding tomatillo sauce served on the side. both the chile colorado and the chili verde are worth a look, at the very least.

i find the burittos and enchilladas here very good, as well, with nice sauces, well seasoned meats, andgoodquality cheese. even the chips and salas, which are so tex-mex to some, are excellent, and they have dos equis lager on tap. the nachos are the only item i've tried here that i did not care for - very little on the chips.

the food comes out of the kitchen quickly, the service is excellent - you are checked on at least 4 or 5 times at each seating to see if you need more drink, chips, salas, or anything else. the owner, or some one in management, always stops by to see if you order is as you wanted it. and, finally, the prices are reasonable - there is little to find fault with here, and much to enjoy.

if you are looking for standard mexican fare, kiosco is agoodchoice.  this restaurant doesn't have any pretense of being hip (i.e. crafted, the porch, or el camino real), so if that is what you are looking for, you'd be better served going elsewhere.  however, if you just want good, simple americanized mexican food, kiosco is one of the best options i have found in the triad.  the portions were plentiful and the flavors were tasty.  however, the chips and salsa were pretty bland - the sauce would have benefited from chopped up veggies and cilantro.  i also was not a fan of our waiter - he was very abrupt, and brought us our bill before even asking if we wanted desert or anything else.

outstanding service!. don't listen to "beertuna", they must work at another mexican restaurant.

although the food is asgoodas any other mex joint in town, it's the service that stands out at this place. we're always greeted warmly. every need or concern is met with a such a passion, that it speaks volumes of their management. they actually care, bottom-line.

the atmosphere is borderline upscale, and the patio is like a serene garden.

i was a longtime fan of la bamba on state street, but have found a new favorite in kiosko. but don't take my word for it, try it yourself. then you can thank me.

outstanding service &goodfood! a+. our visit to kiosco was exactly what an evening out for dinner should be! we were seated immediately. the atmosphere is great! patio is awesome. we were also greated by the manager w/in minutes of seating. very friendly staff and they are on top of it! our chips & salsa was about half gone, they immediately refilled. our drinks showed 1/4 gone, they immediately refilled. i must say this is by far the best service i have ever received in greensboro restaurants. food came quickly and was great. everyone enjoyed what they got (texano quesadilla, taco salad, nachos and special dinner - all good!) this is absolutely one of the best restaurants in greensboro. service may make it #1. so - if you wantgoodmexican food and outstanding friendly and fast service - get to kiosco. they won't allow you to be disappointed! this is now a family favorite and we will be back often. enjoy!!
