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

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!

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

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

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

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

Best spot for fresh Mexican and real lemonade They also have soft-serve ice cream and pints to go read more

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

excellent service and oranges are fresh. and highly recommend going to this place. Super authentic definitely get the frozen orange slushy with ice cream. 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

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

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

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

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.

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'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

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

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

INCREDIBLE!!!!! Carnitas tacos were AMAZING. The corn tortillas were so fresh, along with the salsas.. I was not expecting this to be as good as it was. The staff was super friendly! 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

El Sid is my go to for fresh, tasty mexican food. Alex is a terrific host and ensures that your experience is a great one. It's a really fun environment, and I enjoy eating on the deck watching the Vero world go by. read more

It was okay. Maybe a great lunch spot but the portion sizes were small. It is an order at the counter spot too so no table service. The place is fun and outside sitting on the deck is fun. It was over hyped for my crew but love the spot and the food was okay. read more

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

Good food but took forever and staff was rude. Plus the inside is very confusing. I was in the line to the left to order food however people in the right line to order drinks would cut over in front of people trying to place orders. Food was extremely expensive. A $100 meal should have been $35. It was not worth the long wait or money. Again, staff seemed very irritated and annoyed. I would skip this place. Ocean Grill on the corner 2 minute walk away was phenomenal with beautiful ocean views and a great staff. read more

These tacos are ! Sooooo good, excellent friendly service and total beach vibes. I had a shrimp taco and the Gringo, I probably could have ate 2 more. The fresh salsa verde I could drink. Was here for a quick trip from NY and will definitely come back when we're in the area. I'll be dreaming of those shrimp tacos until the next trip! 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

This taco place is quick and delicious. I stopped in last week and had a veggie taco with Portabella mushrooms, and one cajun shrimp one. I was sorry I hadn't gotten both with the shrimp, because those were absolutely killer! So today I made sure to get two of the shrimp. They make their own different kinds of salsas, which you help yourself to at their salsa bar. The Mexican street corn side is also excellent. I love the fact that they only use one instead of two tacos to hold the filling, as that makes them lighter. I'm not a huge fan of tacos when they use 2 because it's just too much tortilla for me. These taste very fresh, are made to order, and you can't beat the casual setting right by the beach. It's a great place to stop for a snack or a light meal. read more

I was visiting Vero Beach this Memorial weekend and we had lunch at El Sid one day. I was truly impressed by it. It is a farm to table mexican spot, which also serves ice cream. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and corn and they were both so fresh and delicious! The quesadillas aren't made like your traditional quesadillas and include cabbage and pickled jalapeño, which I thought was kind of strange, but it definitely worked and is prob one of my fav quesadillas I've had to date. I also got a frozen margarita which was really good and refreshing and surprisingly good for coming out of a machine. I liked my items so much I forgot to photograph them, but I have my friends tacos which she absolutely loved as well. When I'm back in Vero I will def come back here again. read more

Order taker was rude with an attitude, wanting me to rush my order. When the food came out, the chips and salsa had two small one once containers of salsa (not nearly enough, but wait! I could buy more), the taco was dry (moistness) and tastless, the quesadillas matched the taco in tasteless. in the Resturants favor is its location and a pretty cool serving truck. But neither of these positives are enough to get me to waste my dining out money at El Sid again. there are lots of good mexican Resturant's in Vero, unfortunately, El Sid isn't one of them read more

Delicious soft shell corn tacos with a lot of quality veggies (not just chopped iceberg lettuce). Very favorable. I had the non frozen key lime as well and those were excellent. read more

After an overpriced dinner of fried seafood at the place next door - we wanted something light and fresh. Tacos and salad was about perfect! I was super impressed with the quality of the Mahi on my salad- VERY fresh. My only suggestion would be to do a better cbop on the salad - eating those long and big pieces of greens was really tough with a plastic fork! Will definitely go back next time we are in VB. read more
