We have been going to El Cid for over 30 years and went back for the first time since they reopened. I’m happy to say that it was as great as it was in the past. The Prime Rib, sirloin and sangria were delicious and we can’t wait to go back!

Food is mixed quality paella is just warmed up rice with some precooked seafood stirred in. Boring. Petit filet with lobster tail was very good and a great value. Atmosphere is busy and noisy beyond comfortable. Service staff is professional and attentive. Personally I have no need to return.

I don't know what the craze is. It's certainly not like it used to be 15 or 20 years ago where you could get good food at an outstanding value price in a somewhat classy atmosphere.

New owners ..heard good things. Wasn’t impressed. Food was decent but very slow getting food out. Serviice wasn’t good had to ask for water and many other things multiple times. Will definitely not be going back!

In comparison to the El Cid with prior owners, the food quality has dropped immensely. So disappointed as this was a staple for us.

My wife and I heard the restaurant had reopened. We had gone there for years. And enjoyed the food atmosphere and service. However, the new El sids was a major disappointment. The food was not up to par. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

El Cid used to be a wonderful family reustarant right now I m not sure about it .since new manager in place ,menu is very limited .service very delayed. My husband has to go to the bar himself to get a beer. Napkins on the floor after tables are been all set up for new customers and services. Food portion still very large so is good. And taste was also good. One thing I have to say that as soon as manager finds out about it. He did all on his power to correct the error.

My son and I ate at El Cids for lunch yesterday. Man I missed this place. I haven't been since moving to Florida and having enjoyed this place over the past 3 decades I made sure to visit while in the area. As usual, the food was fantastic, and service top notch and friendly. Will remain as one of my "must do's" whenever I am back in town visiting friends and family who also love it here.
