El Cid

The food is incredible. The staff is really friendly. Two years in a row Ive had lunch here for my birthday and it was really awesome both times.

The burrito hits all the spots , the meat is savory and delicious. Love the margarita has the perfect ratio of alcohol to flavor. Service was fantastic the waitress was on her game and food was amazing and the atmosphere is chill and a good place to bring a date and have a family dinner witb friends. Service was fast and friendly

Overall good food. Comes pretty quickly. The cheese is sub par so try to stay away from the quesadillas and things like that. Overall great place to get good Mexican food and the service is always really nice. Really friendly staff. Good drink selection too.

I use to visit their former location by Congress theater across from the CVS store and that was my childhood. I haven't been to this location since it opened. I have to say it was good! I order the steak taco dinner - the rice and beans were filling portions and the tacos were pretty filled surprisingly. Both were tasty and overall, had a great feel to it.

The place is a little small/narrow. I thought it'd be bigger but maybe once the warmer weather is here, there will be an outdoor patio for more space/seats? Maybe? Regardless, on a weekend night like tonight it was perfect.

My only con were the tortillas were a little greasy to me and they charge you for additional sauce - which is a little extreme I have to say even if it is just 50 cents more. Their green sauce was decent but it was odd that the mild sauce was a little too sweet for my tastes.

Other than that, I'll be back whenever I visit Chicago again. Worth a trip for decent Mexican food!

Excellent service and food. This restaurant is one of those hidden gems in Chicago. It has a real Japanese authenticity to it with just a little touch of the Korean flavor with side dishes. Also, if you're a baseball fan you can see the pictures of the players or teams that's been there. The players even signed a few baseball as well for customers to see while you wait to get seated. In my opinion, this restaurant is definitely one of the best Japanese BBQ spots in Chicago.
