From Citysearch

In Short
Judging from the familiar greetings and exchanges between servers and patrons, El Cid (named after the medieval Spanish warrior) has a loyal neighborhood clientele, with good reason. The restaurant itself is small, with 12 tables, but the real attraction is the large, leafy back patio, a popular spot for a meal of specialty fish tacos or shrimp fajitas accompanied by a margarita.
