Three words: Bavarian Cream Churro. After tasting one of these you'll be dancing at the feet of the Santa Maria. Kiva's warm, crispy, chewy, cinnamon-sugar dusted, Bavarian cream filled delights made me forget about every other dessert I've ever had. It made me forget about our meal. It made me forget about everything, for that matter. It was euphoric. Now where was I...
Kiva blends traditional Tex-Mex cuisine with traditional Spanish ingredients to create a distinct identity from the usual cheese covered, green chili doused Mexican plate. You'll find the all the staples such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas, rellenos and such. All familiar, but enjoyably different. Two of the more interesting things we had were side dishes: chochoyones and nopales. Chochoyones are small tamale-like dumplings covered in red sauce while nopales are cacti sauteed with tomatoes and onions. Both very interesting, delicious and a great option from the traditional rice and beans. The whole menu is filled with little suprises. The tacos are made from fluffy, griddled wheat tortillas. Burritos and enchiladas are sprinkled with cotija cheese. The churros are filled with Bavarian cream. The churros are filled with Bavarian cream. The churros are filled with Bavarian cream.
Kiva also has an extensive tequila list, Sunday brunch with bottomless drinks, a great outdoor patio and churros filled with Bavarian cream.
Kiva is very reasonably priced and will receive multiple trips. And, if you don't go try the Bavarian cream churros, I will personally come find you and give you a verbal thrashing.
