Great food. The salsa was amazing. Friendly and thoughtful staff. Lots of room for large parties. The machaca was delicious as was the asada tacos. Generous portions, good prices.
The food is really good and the portions are generous. Their chips are in house and are the best I have had.

El Cid is a beloved restaurant nestled in a pleasant community near the southern entrance of Yosemite National Park. Known for its friendly staff and family-friendly atmosphere, the restaurant offers a variety of authentic Mexican dishes that are freshly cooked and full of flavor.
The standout items on the menu include the chips and salsa, with a fresh pico de gallo that adds a delightful twist. The El Cid burrito is a massive and delicious dish, filled with fresh vegetables and perfectly grilled chicken. The restaurant also offers a weekday lunch special, which includes a choice of entree with rice and beans.
Customers have praised the quick, accurate, and friendly service, as well as the overall amazing quality of the food. The tacos, particularly the shredded beef variety, have received mixed reviews, with some customers finding them delicious and others feeling the shells were not crispy enough. The chili relleno and albondigas have been consistently praised as well.
With easy access to a parking lot from the highway and wheelchair accessibility, El Cid is a convenient and enjoyable dining destination. The house margaritas are a tasty and refreshing treat, making it a must-visit restaurant in the area.
