The service was good. We were greeted very warmly at the door. I had the skirt steak quesadillas. They were really good. Steak was perfection. My wife had the chili rellenos and loved them. The salsa all have a kick to them but have flavor as well.

I’m not joking when I say these are the best nachos we’ve ever had. Perfect ratio of fresh ingredients on every chip, prepared individually. The black bean soup is delicious as well. We love coming here!!

Step into flavor heaven, because these Mexican tacos and that crunchy, golden sope shot me straight to the peak of authentic Mexican culture—¡olé! The service? Overflowing like a well-loved cup—refilling water with a smile and serving street-style charm that could go toe-to-toe with any taco truck in Tulum.
But let me tell you what really hit me in the heart: my Momma been coming here for over 30 years, and one of the owners still remembered her. That’s not just customer service—that’s culinary legacy. That’s love on a plate. Now, the tacos? Flavor bombs wrapped in fresh tortillas—bold, savory, unforgettable. And the sope? Crispy on the outside, hearty on the inside. That crunch caught me off guard—in the best way. Gave the whole dish a texture remix that totally worked. And can we talk about the chips and salsa? Free. Fresh. Fabulous. In a world where they’re charging for air, that’s a classic touch that earns forever fans. I’ll be back—probably with Momma in tow. This place doesn’t just serve food… it serves memories.

I found this place just by walking and using google for good places in the area as I was leaving the Sunday market in Logan square.
It was deathly hot out. So food and something cold to drink to the rescue.
Nancy was nice and very patient and helped me to pick some great options to eat.
Hands down the cheese and cactus tamal was my favorite. I suggest everybody try it. I could’ve eaten like 5 of those.
The salsa was good. I like spicy so it was on point. I would not mind a little more spicy but I understand provided for the masses is important.
I also got the chicken chimichanga and side of rice. I loved that the chicken in the chimichanga was well seasoned. That’s important.
Rice was moist and flavorful.

Patio was nice. Tables come with umbrella or there are some that are shaded with trees. Either way it’s nice on the back patio.
Some flies around but I think that’s warranted when you’re outside eating.
Maybe the owner could spray every now and then to keep them away. But they weren’t too bothersome. I definitely enjoyed my meal and overall experience.

This place is so good! They have the best tacos and my favorite are the Al pastor tacos! The vibes are great! Especially outdoor patio. Service is great and quick. Margaritas are so good too!

Great food, amazing atmosphere and very welcoming staff. I recommend trying the QuesaBirria it’s fantastic. Margs are strong which is always a good thing.

My friends and I had a fantastic experience at El Cid! The food, service, vibes—you name it, it was incredible. I thought the chips and guacamole were good but the quesadillas were even better. The food here really is to die for. Strongly recommend checking this place out!

The atmosphere is the way to go. I only wish yhe food was as good as the that. The waitress was surely nice but could’ve been a little bit more helpful with questions. All the food was greasy. I don’t even understand why. All. Of. It. It’s like they put oil in everything to stretch it? You could taste it. We didn’t finish it or take it home. The margaritas were good. It’s pre-mixed, I believe they order it. So there’s really no making it different. They pack a punch! The guac was so bland and overpriced. Ridiculous. We had to add salt, I don’t think it was seasoned at all.
Overall, it’s cute. Family friendly, good for any occasion. Won’t be returning though.

All of the food was excellent, we got the chicken flautas and enchiladas suizas. Even the salsas were good, served with fresh fried tortilla chips. Besides great food, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. There’s also a hidden outdoor patio in the back.

Wish the tacos were hard shell. Great location on Kedzie across from Logan Square Blue Line. Great service. There’s a beautiful outdoor patio but it was not accessible due to the rain.
