El Cid's is my new favorite spot for authentic Mexican fare in Lexington! 🌮 I ordered the birria tacos, and they were hands down the best I've ever had - juicy and packed with flavor. My family raved about the birria pizza and fish tacos, too.

The atmosphere was trendy and cozy, perfect for a casual lunch. The staff were attentive and polite, even customizing my order without hesitation. Plus, the lunchtime margarita was just right: refreshing yet strong enough to keep you energized! Can’t wait to go back! 🍹✨
