El Cid is a charming Spanish/Latino restaurant featuring a large outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying a meal in the fresh air. Known for their delicious homemade BEEF STEW and steak sandwiches, it's an ideal spot for two or more to share a pitcher of margaritas. The atmosphere is lively, with Cuban music, colorful flags, and muraled walls, creating a fun and inviting space. The staff is friendly, and the owner, Juan, is passionate about the restaurant and its offerings. While some dishes like chiles rellenos may be smaller than expected, they are still tasty. The skirt steak dinner is a must-try, always seasoned perfectly. Guests have enjoyed the complimentary pickled veggies, chips, and sweet salsa. Although some found the service a bit slow due to large orders, many appreciate the quality of the food, including the pork stew with green sauce (Guisado Puerco) and the taco plate with pollo, pork, and fish. With dog-friendly outdoor seating, El Cid has been a favorite spot in Chicago for many years, offering tasty food and perfect margaritas.
