delicious. gluten free, fresh and healthy tasting. this place is 20 x better than ANY tacos you can get in melbourne or cocoa beach.

Stop being a "STICK in the mud", if you're driving on interstate 95 north or south, I tempt you to drive inland east to El Sid Taqueria. It will be well worth the time spent. Beautiful evening sun with palm trees. Did I mention the great tacos also? The phenomenal fish tacos will satisfy, and if you're not through with that, get three carne asada tacos to top it off. The meat in those tacos is prepared like I've not seen, sincerely. Very tender and tasty, easy to chew bite sizes. Another impressive note: they have authentic red and green salsa. Very rare for an American taqueria. Perhaps now this is becoming the norm? read more

Love the food. Fresh healthy ingredients, well prepared and delicious. However there is a very, very annoying LOUD speaker that is used to call up your order. Way too loud as it makes ever stop their discussion until announcement is complete. Interrupting your conversation constantly. read more

Stopped by El Sid, Sunday night for dinner with my family. I have some key points I want to hit on. The G.O.A.T sauce was created from the G.O.A.T himself, chef Timm McGraw. It was outstanding. The cinnamon/apple slushy they serve will send chills down your spin it's so good! The staff they have working there were very kind and accommodating! Last but certainly not least the tacos.. the best I've had on this side of the Mississippi!! Will be back! read more

I went into the restaurant with one of my friends that happens to be a girl, the guy at the cash register assume that we were dating and he gave me a look because I wanted to split the bill, so he covered her drink. And he was giving me a look the whole time, I didn't appreciate this at all, and he really shouldn't assume. Lemonade was good though, customer service was out the window... read more

Very good fresh food! Service was great also highly recommend this little gem in beach side

The food at El Sid is consistently great. Their empanadas are phenomenal as are their house made chips. I love mixing and matching my tacos when I go too. We always have a great time when we go and look forward to going back. read more

We were staying in a resort on Vero Beach next to El Sid and after a morning at the beach we wanted to try this place for lunch. They had a good variety of Mexican items on the menu and choices of protein. I got the two tacos, one with steak and the other with chicken. The corn tortillas were fresh and the meat cooked and seasoned well. The fixings were fresh and went well with the taco except the raw radishes. Picked them off so it was all good. They had this G.O.A.T sauce that I got on the side. Pretty spicy but it was really good. After lunch they had another section in the store with smoothies and ice cream. I got the orange smoothie with vanilla ice cream in it. Perfect on a hot summer day. It was bus your own table with outside dining only. Would definitely go back again. read more

I had a short rib empanada and the tamales which were on special. Both were excellent and I'm glad I gave this place a try. It's also well run and has a nice beach vibe. read more

What a find. Great fresh farm to table food, prepared by good people. They also have fresh peaches this week from the farm. Yum.

This place is awesome. I come here everytime I'm in the area. Great atmosphere, great people, great food, good prices. Who doesn't love tacos and ice cream?!? Good is fresh, made to order and quick. Reasonably priced. I like that you can eat on the small deck and people watch. read more

Tacos are very yummy. Easy walk up to the counter ordering. Prices are reasonable. Food was very fresh. Enjoyed the outdoor seating.

Meh. The good: Chips & queso were yummy and fresh The meh: The tacos were suuuuper dry & they tried hard but the flavors just didn't hit the mark. The ugly: The customer service. We ordered in and waited thirty minutes for our food while we watched multiple to-go orders come and go. For the quality of food we received, the amount of time they took to make it just didn't add up. read more

Super fresh food, great menu. Outside seating was beautiful. Family of four all had a great meal for a very reasonable price. Service was fast and friendly. read more

My mom and I were excited to try this place for the first time after it's been on our list to try for a while. We were underwhelmed to say the least. The woman taking our order said she was new, and she did not know the menu at all. While trying to order "the scoop", she tried to argue with me that I had to pick a meat, while charging me extra, and I tried to communicate that I was not interested in any meat; she kept saying it came with it, although she kept including upcharge for the protein. The young woman behind the counter tried to help her, but had a poor attitude along with the new employee. My mom has a cilantro allergy and although we expressed that information and asked them to leave it off "the scoop", we received both tacos and queso we had ordered with cilantro on it. "The scoop" was also missing the feta on top that the menu said came with it. Despite the poor service and meh entrees, your chips are the best chips we have ever had. Really wish you sold them separately, instead of with guacamole or queso. Sad to express that we wouldn't rush back due to the service. read more

First let me say we LOVE the food here. We come to Vero at least 6 times a year and order from them each time. However, we've seen a decline in the service. Last time we ordered take out we arrived home to find part of our order was missing. Tonight we ordered take out again. We checked our order before going home and we discovered THREE items were missing from our order. This time we returned to get our missing food. This is after we tried it order three different things off the menu they were OUT of. I really, really want to love this place but I'm getting frustrated. read more

Nicest. People. Ever! I had to run in just for a few drinks as my friend was getting ready for her wedding at the resort next door. The staff went above and beyond and with such friendliness... just for a Coke and few bottles of water! It's because of them- and the AMAZING menu and smell of everything- that I will be back to eat tomorrow. Thank you wonderful people of El Sid! read more

El Sid was delicious!!! I was in Vero for the day looking for a quick bite after the beach, el sid was perf! Casual outdoor seating and the staff is soooo nice!! They went out of their way to answer all our questions and help us! I'll def be back! read more

The Scoop is the perfect choice for a no carb lunch. It was delicious. I would have given it 5 stars but avocado wb better if they took it out of the shell. read more

Deliciousness - low-key, unique beach fare. Tacos are amazing - try with the house made salsas. Even with my amazing company - it was hard to determine which was better ;-) read more

The service was great, they were very kind almost a bit overwhelming. However, the menu was disappointing being that they had dishes called "Juan bowl" & " gringos" , especially being that the owner of the establishment is Caucasian and it's portrayed as a Mexican food restaurant. I went with my brother and boyfriend, we ordered carne asada, pollo(chicken), and the ( WTF)tacos, and a quesadillas. The only decent food there was the quesadilla. The tacos were absolutely terrible, we each ordered 3 and ended up throwing them out because of how inedible it was. The flour tortilla for the tacos were bland and old? The chicken was barely cooked, and the carne asada was overcooked. Their homemade sauces were alright? And we now understand why the (WTF) taco has its name and it's because that is literally your reaction when you eat it... overall- I believe the owner should decide on choosing a different type of food, something he is more familiar with or to hire a professional chef that specializes in Mexican food. Oh and it was very expensive for the quality of the food read more

Great fast food! The empanada was wonderful! Very convenient for take out! Variety of tasty choices for sides.

After passing by this place for a few years, I decided to venture in for breakfast. I wasn't disappointed. Exceptional Breakfast Taco with all the fixings. Great Iced Tea. Give it a try, won't regret it! read more

Great tacos. Poor service. Waited 40 minutes for tacos and the place wasn't busy. Multiple parties ordered after us and received their orders. Our order was clearly missed but server rudely denied it. Too bad! read more

Don't miss this not so hidden gem on Ocean Dr. Breakfast was amazing and the house salsa verde and rojo were out of this world fresh. Great price and cold beer to boot. Our new breakfast stop when in Vero. read more

Nice fresh food. The chips and queso were excellent. Seating was limited and we sat on bar area facing the street.

This spot is a very sad misrepresentation of Mexican food. To start it is overpriced for the very small portions they give. I will not be returning read more

This place is sooooo good! Great food, perfect atmosphere, and a pickup window in a pickup truck! Definitely grab a breakfast here if you're in town. read more

Wow! Tried this place for lunch today and we loved it! We had the tacos, Mexican street corn, the avocado scoop and chips and guac. The chips and guac were probably the best I've had in a while. So delicious can't wait to go back. read more

Came here a few days ago and my goodness it was so good! I ordered the pork quesadilla with a side of chips and guacamole and queso, the meat was well cooked and seasoned as was the guacamole. But it wasn't so much the good that got me it was the queso!!! I could drink that stuff right out of the bowl, no matter what you place it in it compliments the food, chips, and beer very well. Plus there frozen margarita is amazing! read more

Who doesn't love El Sid. You go there for great Mexican food but you are really honest, you go there for the dark chocolate soft serve ice cream. What a great place, friendly staff. read more

The tacos were good, not the best and certainly not the worst. The service was fine. However, in the midst of a pandemic, not a single member of the staff that I could see wore masks. I know, I should have walked out. My bad. read more

Delicious and laid back! We enjoyed a meal on the patio. The set up is "no frills," with counter ordering and self seating. The food is so good!! We had chips and guacamole, the You Juan a Bowl and tacos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. The chips are tortillas strips that have been fried- flaky and crunchy. Great stop! read more

I ordered the taco special and it was excellent. My sister had the Steak bowl and was happy with her meal. My mom ordered their regular chicken tacos. Those were really bland. Guacamole was great. read more

El Sid is my go to place for Tacos and the Orange soft serve ice cream when I am in Vero Beach. The staff is great, especially Alex who always makes sure all of the customers are well taken care of. The carne asado tacos are my favorite. read more

Good is delicious, made fresh but made quick. Prices are fair, and they have good beverages. Restaurant is clean!

Loved the Mexican corn & empanadas. I like the outside seating to the South of the establishment. Just a great food I'll be back!

This spot is so adorable. I love how it's near the beach and you pick up your food when it's ready. The carnitas tacos is the best flavor in my opinion. The carne asada wasn't that impressive for some reason. But I love their chips and queso, Juan bowl and tacos. read more

Overall good experience. Food good. Margarita good. Majority of employees very polite and helpful. However. There was a middle aged red haired Caucasian woman (hair worn in a bun on top of her head and I think she had bangs too) working who could not have been ruder or more dismissive. This was my first time at this establishment and asked a couple questions and for a two go box and she acted like I was an idiot and a total annoyance. I will be back but would recommend this lady get some training in customer service and attitude and kindness. I am giving this place a good review because everything else was great but I think it's important that the people who have invested time, finances and resources to make this establishment successful are aware of a potential rude employee who is a major liability in terms of patron experience. read more

Ordered the carne asada tacos, got dry steak and cabbage. Texture was off putting (who wants to eat cabbage tacos) and flavor was lacking. They werent too bad once I loaded them up with salsa and hot sauce, but i was still disappointed. read more
