We were in town for a wedding and our hostess at Ravensbrook Bed & Breakfast highly recommended us to try Cid's. We were thoroughly impressed with the quick service, and excellently mixed drinks. I had the strawberry margarita and it was YUM! :) The chips had a delicious seasoning on them and the dinner plates were plentiful. I would recommend... more

- This restaurant is very noisy -- a popular place for the locals to guzzle beer. We almost couldn't park in the lot, as it was filled with pickup trucks. - The service was slow. The waitress was more interested in the local guys than the customers. - We had salads with our dinner, consisting of lettuce that was drenched... more

We arrived around 7pm on a Saturday evening without a reservation. The car park was full and there was not a single free seat in this large restaurant in sight. We enquired about a table, expecting to wait a while, and were told about 10 minutes. We made our way to the bar and a very busy bartender offered us... more

We ate here after returning from Yosemite and not having much time for look around for a restaurant, and on first appearances almost decided to move on. The decor was ok, but reasonable clean, and my husband enjoyed his meal of fajitas, but I was very disappointed - my meal was only luke-warm and not all that tasty - the... more

Glad to find this site on the web. While visiting Yosemite, we looked up Oakhurst restaurants on Google. Glad we did. This Mexican Restaurant is one of the finest restaurants if you like Mexican food. We ate there 3 nights in a row because the food was so good. From Flautaus, Shreded Beef Taquitos, and Burritos, they were the best.... more

We stayed up the street and the El Cid was recommended by the Inn Keepers. We were not disappointed! The restaurant was not fancy, in fact it looked like they were doing some updating, but the food was great! Everything was fresh, hot and tasty! We had lunch and the chips on the table were hot right out of the... more
