ElSid is the BEST! This is not your ordinary taco shop. The staff is delightful and the food is fresh and delicious The Mahi or Shrimp Tacos are a great choice but there are lots of other unusual and delightful choices. Friendly and casual atmosphere, fun for all! read more

Wow what a great place...tacos and ice cream, need I say more!? We came here after hearing many positive reviews and we are so glad we stopped by! This is a small restaurant off of Ocean Dr in Vero Beach! There is a lot of street parking around the restaurant, but also lots a block or so away if you were okay with walking. The restaurant is small, and seating is very limited. We went twice both on week days (once around lunch and the other around dinner) and it was pretty populated both times. The food was SO good! We absolutely loved the tacos and bowl we got. Everything was made to order and tasted so fresh. Prices felt a little steep but we felt that it was likely due to the area and being in a more touristy/vacation heavy spot. We tried the slushy/soft serve mix as well as just the plain orange soft serve and both were a great after taco treat! Overall we enjoyed our meals and treats here and would definitely recommend checking them out if you happen to be in the area! read more

Small place that is also pretty popular ice cream spot. A lot of small seating location along outside and inside. Atmosphere is laid back with a live singer! Not the best I ever heard. Food was pretty tasty and service quick. Not the happiest bunch behind the counter but dealing with tourists can do that to you. read more

El Sid is a wonderful spot to grab some delicious tacos. They food is great quality and incredibly delicious. We also had the chance to try their margaritas and their soft serve slushes. Everyone they had was delicious. We wish the size of the queso was a little bigger and be prepared for limited seating inside and out. Super friendly staff who were helpful in the choices we made. read more

Vero Beach-Talk about a tiny lil hole in the wall!! Yep, just how I like it! Delicious fish tacos! Lots of meat, cheeses, & cabbage! Hubby had the carne and the carnitas tacos. Really tasty! My only regret is getting the orange and vanilla slushie. Not great. This is actually why I was seeking this place in the first place! I had heard about their amazing slushies. I would definitely go back for the tacos, but would not order that again. read more

Great local place! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Inside decor was unique and most of the seating is outside. I had the empanada and Mexican street corn. Both were excellent. I would come here again. read more

Solid but nothing crazy. Within walking distance of hotel we were staying at in Vero.

Food was ok, quesadilla was the size of a normal soft taco cut in half, so tiny and a cooked enough that the tortilla was starting to get crunchy in spots (overcooked in my opinion, but i can see where some would like it that way). Very busy, long wait and chaotic seating. read more

Excellent service always Great food and ice cream I would give it 5 stars. The patio on Oceanside Dr is a great place hangout and people watch while you eat. read more

Guac was amazing! We ordered to go and picked it up, walking distance from the Keaton Hotel.

Ate my taco so fast I didn't even get a picture. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Super fast service and FANTASTIC food. Queso & chips is incredible and the Triple J taco is delicious! amazing outdoor seating but fills up fast. read more

Not a great experience at all. We will definitely be choosing one of the MANY other dining spots in Vero next time we're here (especially at the cost of 87$ to feed a family of 4 for the portion sizes received). Our order took 52 minutes from the time we paid until we received the food. The price is a little steep for tacos (a little over 5$ per taco) and we have had many authentic street tacos from various places. Not sure why some tacos, chips and guac and street corn took 52 minutes as these items when made authentically (review coming from a Mexican family) take less time than that to make. If El Sid was not located conveniently at the beach they would likely not do well. Only making this review to save the next family from wasting their time and money. read more

This place was a huge disappointment. It took over 50 minutes to get our dinner and multiple people who ordered after us got their dinner before us. Not only did our dinner take forever to come out but there were 3 tacos missing. They claimed they were remaking those 3 tacos but they were nothing like the tacos we ordered. The manager acted as if we were inconveniencing him because we were asking what was taking so long. We would never come here again. read more

We ordered cheese quesadillas and told the server twice we wanted everything on it, just no meat. She said they call it the child one. We did not order child's. It came back super small, with nothing on it other than cheese. It was 2 small wedges! My taco was really bite sized and so so. Best thing was the diet coke. The interior is small, only a couple counters to sit at, not charming. People sit outside, maybe that looks better. Limited menu. I asked for rice and beans and the counter server did not find it so I am unsure if they have it as a side. More trouble than it was worth. We'll skip over this place. We were disappointed. read more

We love El Sid! It's our go-to spot whenever we're in Vero Beach. The food is always great, and our kids love it there. The service is excellent--especially Alex, the manager, who always has a smile on his face. Great vibe and music! I even once forgot my wallet there, and he went out of his way to forward it to my home in New York after we had already given up looking for it. A true lifesaver! read more

Nice little Mexican restaurant but didn't like the chips. Too greasy for me and it's unlike me to not eat all the chips. The guacamole was good but not the chips. read more

The tacos were fresh, flavorful, and generously filled. I especially loved the fish mahi mahi -- tender and well-seasoned. The staff were friendly, and service was quick even during the lunch rush. Ambience is a little bit not spacious. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

Good food and friendly staff. The orange vanilla soft serve is addicting and you will want to go back. Be sure to try the flavor of the week! A must try. read more

Delicious carne asada taco bowl, street corn, and tortilla chips (made there) and guacamole. Food was fresh and made to order. Not a fancy place, make an order, get it at the window, and sit outside. But it's tasty and the price is right. Dinner for 2 was $54 or so. We'd go again! read more

What an awesome place that we didn't even knew was out on Vero Beach after all these years vacationing and visiting my parents. One of the best meals i've had from restaurant in couple years beside a few my favorite spots in my hometown and surrounding area of Farming, CT. Fresh, Friendly, local. That is how after two different visits while in town the past 2 weeks is how I would describe this place in 3 words. Niko was Great - He made our experience that much more on both times we stopped in as well as even the 2 different employees who handed us our meal. This was so nice to experience especially from a "Counter Service" style joint. My 3 Tacos were so good, fresh, and we were recommended to try their WTF taco which is always nice to venture outside of my normal chicken or fish routine especially being that tasty. (I got this both visits it was so good) My husband is still talking about what we want to try on our next visit down. They even had some yummy soft serve ice cream that was perfect after our Tacos and my husbands burrito bowl. I have read some reviews saying 'Hole in the wall' but I think "Not so secret, hidden gem" I think suits this place a little better. On both of our visits they seemed to have a steady flow of customers especially our first night when there was a line out the door at 7 on Saturday night which actually was our sign to maybe check them out. We are so happy we did, and can't wait for next visit. read more

We love this place! Great food made from fresh ingredients! We also really enjoy the orange ice cream cones! Perfect end to a great meal!

Love this place! Fresh & delicious tacos and even better for us veggie lovers try a Juan A Bowl with Veggies, yummmm. Delicious I really like their take on better ingredients, no iceberg lettuce, chunks of mushrooms & tasty rice on my veggie bowl. Chip & salsa are really fresh & good, next time I will have to spurge and try guac or the bean dip. Service was fast and employees were pleasant. (I notice that some reviewers are not happy with staff, but this place can get quite busy, so give them a little slack.) read more

Waited in line for three tacos to go. The restaurant is cute with the car-themed decor. The workers appeared to be somewhat irritated and tired. I bought a gray sweatshirt that smells like the fresh made tortillas from here. Food was fine. read more

This is a fun place to grab a quick meal. Everything is made from scratch when you order. Lots of variety and a cute little outdoor seating area. There is a pickup truck where you actually pick up your food from the window. Hilarious quotes are all over the walls and they have a sauce called G.O.A.T that is amazing. It's an abbreviation so don't get scared and just order it. Trust me, you won't regret it. read more

When it comes to food, I think I was expecting a little more. Two little triangles for an order of Quesadilla? I didn't think that was to be expected, but perhaps my expectations were off. Also, the frozen margarita is heart-burn-central. Perhaps due to the extreme acidity? I drink margaritas for a living (not really lol) so I am VERY experienced as to what to expect there. This one wasn't enjoyable. Anyway, great location & friendly staff. Just not something that as a local I think I'd return to, outside of the chance I'm walking by it and need a quick snack -- it's great for that. read more

We were at the farmers market (also great!) and wanted to grab a quick bite. We had the scoop with carne asada and a couple of topo chicos. Everything was fresh and the salsa was spicy but not too much. And "the pickup truck" to grab your food was the cutest thing ever! read more

I was expecting much better food based on the reviews. My husband and I both ordered a few tacos, and they were pretty flavorless. The best part was the salsa, without which, the tacos would have had zero flavor. There may be better menu items, but if the tacos lack flavor, I wouldn't be dying to try the other dishes. The inside is very cute, but this is not a place I would return. read more

El Sid provided the food for a social event in our community. Tbe people were raving about the tacos. Seriously delicious . Never been in the restaurant. read more

I did not have any tacos because I specifically went in there for an orange slushy. They are delicious! This is the first time I went to this location. I usually go to Countryside Citrus but we stopped there after seeing a play at the Riverside Theatre. The slushy is a nice refreshing novelty consisting of frozen fresh orange juice and vanilla soft serve. If you're thinking creamsicle....exactly! The food looked good too. If you're in the area, stop by. You won't be sorry. read more

Top notch, best food on the beach, great service & always consistent!! It's a daily jaunt!

I've been a patron here many times and this is my first review. Excellent food and beautiful presentation. The guacamole was fresh and delicious. The chips were so-so; I think the oil needed to be changed. Prices are very reasonable, and the manual has a variety of food options. Service reps are very friendly and the atmosphere, inside or out, is nice and clean; all around a great place for a quick bite of good Mexican food. read more

This place came highly recommended to us by a local and I know why. It was very good! You place your order at the counter and pick it up at the driver's side of the truck! (You will know what I mean when you see it.). You can take it to go or eat at one of their tables inside or outside. We had the Juan Bowl with steak for $8.50, 3 chicken tacos for $14.25, salsa & homemade chips ($5) and Mexican street corn $4.25. The prices were a bit steep from what we are use to but the food was absolutely delicious! Yummy! read more

The service was good, the food came out real quick, and the people there were very nice, but the food just didn't do it for us.

Pork tacos or Juan bowl are my go to! The queso is unique w/ the bit of salsa mixed in. I know i can't come to El Sid without ordering the chips and queso. Love that i can also get my countryside citrus faves like coffee or orange slush with soft serve. Cons- pricey! You can easily rack up a hefty bill with just a few meals. The wait is always horrendous at lunch/dinner. read more

This is place is great. Street taco style. Ordered a 3 pack of the Mahi and then ordered three more. Kids and wife enjoyed the gringo tacos and the quesadillas. Service was very friendly. Guy working the counter was very cool and patient with us. Wasn't cheap but I never have a problem paying for quality. If I was a local, I'd be there once a week. Truth. read more
