Waitress was very friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was excellent EXCEPT for the Mexican fried rice which was cold , mushy and had no seasoning or spices except maybe some salt and paprika. That was the worst Mexican rice I've ever had in my life unfortunately. Their tacos and nachos were scrumptious and had authentic flavorings without the emphasis on cheese! Chips were quite greasy but the salsa was great. Had to take star off because the rice and the greasy chips. Overall experience was wonderful, thanks to the very gracious, helpful waitress!

Went in late last night with my group of friends just trying to find a place to eat. It wasn’t bad when we first walked in but five minutes in they start to blast music so loud you couldn’t even hear yourself think let alone talk to your friends. They would keep opening the door when it was 38 degrees out and windy so it would get really cold. My friend asked them to turn it down and they did but then turned it up immediately. They immediately brought us waters when no one asked for water, my friend had to get his attention to get any other type of drink and walked away before anyone else could order any different drink. When we finally got to order he couldn’t even hear us to take our order we had to point at what we wanted. We finally get our food it was so tiny and wasn’t even that good and for it be that price for that little food. Their dj also sucked so bad, would just randomly spin his board off beat and it just sounded like someone was coughing. Would not recommend to anyone.

My friends and I came on a Wednesday night for trivia and $3 margs. The margs were meh, kind of watered down and kind of lacking flavor but they were $3 so oh well. I got the birria tacos. They were good but they weren't the usual birria tacos with the cheese and soaked in the meat juices. Chips and queso were good.

Ordered this for 4 people on my floor at the hospital, we wanted to try it being close by. I called and it went straight to voicemail with the voicemail box full. So, I went in to place the orders. He apologized and said he would have the food ready for me in about 10 mins. 25 mins later, after waiting in this place that had no heat in 23 degree weather, I received the food. we spent over 80 dollars, for the worst food I have ever tasted in my life, the chips smelled and tasted like motor oil, the queso was cold and chunky in a very unsettling way, and meats were dry and cold. This place should be closed down, needless to say I miss El Cid being here. Save your money on this overpriced garbage.
Sat here for over 30 minutes. Not one waiter came and asked us for our drink or food order. It's a small restaurant and there aren't many people ordering. Terrible service!

Came from Georgia with my guy friend bringing his daughter to UK and we visited a lot of places. Wanted to visit the place across the street because of the crowd but we came here. The server was extremely nice and attentive. I started with the nachos.. lemme tell y’all. They was the best I ever had .. try the barbecoa beef. The quesadillas and tacos were good also.. and of course the Don Julio marg was great as well.
Everything we had was delicious!
