I’ve been coming here for years, it’s the best! Great margaritas and vegetarian options. The back patio is great and upstairs has room for large parties. Meow.

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.

First time going; dropped in to get something quick.
Uncomplicated menu, everything tasted fresh, plate presentation and portions, very nice :)
I got the flautas, and a few Modelo to go along with it. Next time I will try the dessert!
It was during the mid-afternoon, so not crowded and before dinner rush. The server was Eduardo and he is amazing.
The coconut tequila was 🤯👌🏾
Will be trying the tacos next time
Salud!

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 eat like 5 of those.
The salsa was good. I like spicy so it was on point. I would t have 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.
Check out my photos below!
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.

Great food, nice laid back atmosphere. Huge patio in the back with cute decor. Lively music but not too loud. The staff are very friendly and attentive without hovering. They're always great about accommodating dietary restrictions. I've never had trouble finding a hearty vegan meal here :)

El Cid's was undoubtedly one of the best food places I've ever been. Everything about it was stunning - the taste, especially was unbelievable and the cost was reasonable. I'd recommend El Cid's if anyone's in the area!!!!

Sat on the patio and got drinks. There was an awful stench of garbage, but the patio is cute. The margaritas weren't very good, chips and salsa were fine. I didn't get anything else, so don't take this review too seriously!

I wish I could give this place more! This isn't just the Mexican food I've had, but truly the best food I've ever had. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Chicago - my partner and I are coming back tomorrow! A religious experience wrapped in the most phenomenal corn tortilla.

I was there for a birthday party and tried a new brand of Tequila, AVE. It made for a smooth tasting Margarita.
