When you walk into El Cid, you will feel how traditional and modern concepts are blended both by taste and sight. El Cid is a warm and welcoming, fun experience. From the spicy/sweet savory dishes to the cozy décor, El Cid captures the best of Mexico with a modern Chicago flare. Our outdoor patio is a great place to sit with friends and enjoy a Margarita or Mojito during the warm summer days and in the winter, you can cozy up to our fireplace in the upstairs lounge. You'll love our food because everything is prepared fresh daily and all for an excellent price.
