El Cid’s menu offers a delightful selection of Spanish-inspired dishes, showcasing vibrant flavors and traditional techniques with a modern twist. As a reviewer, I can confidently say that every dish has its own charm, providing an unforgettable experience for any diner.
To start, the Tapas menu is an absolute treat. The Chips & Salsa is a classic, simple yet addictive, with the perfect balance of heat and tang. For a more indulgent option, the El Cid Cheese Platter is a must-try, featuring a curated selection of rich cheeses that pair beautifully with the crispy texture of the accompanying crackers. Croquetas De Vegetales are crispy on the outside and oozing with creamy goodness inside—an absolute comfort food. Patatas Bravas is another standout, with its perfectly crispy potatoes drizzled with a smoky, spicy aioli that adds an extra layer of flavor. Calamari comes lightly fried to perfection, tender and perfectly seasoned, making it a great choice for seafood lovers.
For the main course, the El Cid Flamenco Dinner shines. The Paella De Mariscos is brimming with fresh seafood, each bite offering a burst of oceanic flavor, while the Paella Hortelana is a satisfying vegetable option, vibrant with color and full of hearty textures. If you’re in the mood for something delicate, the Pescado En Papillote features tender fish wrapped in parchment paper, steamed with aromatic herbs that infuse each bite. The Lomo Campero, a juicy pork loin, is seared to perfection and served with a savory sauce that enhances its natural flavors. The Seasonal Pasta offers a fresh twist on Italian classics, with seasonal ingredients that change regularly to keep the dish exciting.
Finish off your meal with a sweet treat from the Dulce menu. The Flan is decadently smooth, offering a rich, caramel flavor. The Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie is a warm, gooey delight, served in a skillet for that extra indulgence. The Seasonal Fruit Tart is light and refreshing, the perfect end to a flavorful meal.
Each dish at El Cid feels like a celebration of Spanish culinary traditions, with every bite transporting you to the heart of Spain. Whether you're in the mood for tapas, a hearty main, or a sweet finish, El Cid delivers a truly exceptional dining experience.
