This place has awesome tasting tacos! I am born and raised in Chicago where the food is amazing, but these tacos were... ????????????! I wish they had a spot in Chicago! They would totally bank here. Read more
Second time I’ve been in 24hrs! Josh, Kane and Ruth are great, and the food incredible. I posted about eating here and heard... back from several about why I had waited. Daily/Weekly drink specials including bottomless mimosas and half margaritas are worthit. The “Mucho Grande” looks like a shareable but it can definitely be eaten alone ???? Read more

Decided to give this place a try. I truly enjoy a good taco. I decided to try one of the restaurants highlighted specialties and... ordered the Barbacoa Queso tacos and was excited to see they had Horchata so added that as well. The restaurant itself has apretty unique feel inside but I don't fully understand it. I really enjoy the colors and the murals but I am a little confusedwith the Diner style benches. The food came promptly. The portion size is a very good size and I struggled to finish. The doublecorn tortillas were crisped almost making them seem like a hard shell. The taco was good and heavily filled with Barbacoa. Thequeso was at the bottom of the tortilla and made that part of taco fall apart but added some flavor to a somewhat unseasonedBarbacoa. The salsa that came with it had a wonderful taste and greatly added to the Taco. It also came with a dipping broth andblack beans. I dipped the tacos multiple times but it didn't seem to change the flavor experience. The Horchata was okay butseemed a little bitter. Overall food was good. I may try this place again and give it another shot switching to a different menuitem. The overall cost with a minus tip was $17.29 for lunch which is also a bit rich so when tip added it is over a $20 lunch Read more
Traveling from out of town and grabbed take out from EL CID. We loved it! Fantastic authentic cuisine with a large menu.... Moderate amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Decor is modern/hip meets Mexicana diner. The service was also great, both onthe phone and at pick up! Highly recommend. Read more
So glad Hacienda told us to “call back when you get here and place your order then wait on order to be filled since over... $20” we called El Cid and decided to try it for the first time. We got the quesataco, burrito, chorizo queso and mixedfajitas. Everything was so good! It was ready in 20 minutes, the staff were friendly. Curbside is no longer available though,that disappointed. We will be going back to try other menu items. Read more
We got El Cid delivery. Anytime you get delivery it's not going to be as good as in the restaurant. But with that said it was... quite yummy! My husband got the queso burrito and said the flavor was really good but slightly too creamy. I got the fajitatacos and asked for it on flour shells (which they did) and they were good. Lastly we got the Guacamole. It I'd chunky and itwas good. I wouldn't say this is by far the best Mexican ever but it definitely wasn't bad. We're in a hotel and asked forsilverware and didn't get it. Lastly, the Guacamole was good but had WAY too much onion. We had a hole pile of onion left overbecause there was so much in it. Read more
