Extreme makeover: El Cid 2 Edition

Logan Square neighborhood joint El Cid 2, known for cheap eats and festive patio, recently got a makeover. The tiny spot now boasts a cozy upstairs dining room with a fireplace (wow!), lounge seating (ooh!), a handsome bar, pub tables and a section for larger parties. While the menu remains the same, it's now flanked by a wine list and collection of appetizers and dishes for "late-night grazing."

The only thing that didn't suprise my friend and I (both former Logan Square residents and El Cid addicts) during a recent weekend visit? Overhearing similar expressions of shock and awe as unsuspecting regulars realized that their favorite little spot was all grown up. My friend and I dined on enchiladas, tacos, beans, rice and guac while sipping bottles of Bohemia and Negra Modelo. The bill rang in at $44. Some things never change.
