El Cid Flamenco Restaurant Description:
The El Cid structure was built in 1900 by D.W. Griffith and used to screen "Birth of a Nation." In 1950, the space was converted into a cabaret. The restaurant opened in 1961 as a replica of a sixteenth-century Spanish tavern. Since then, this grotto-like supper club has made customers happy with pitchers of sangría, hearty portions of paella and a clap-along flamenco floorshow. The scene is a bit kitschy but also a real kick. To eat, expect tapas like pan-roasted shrimp sautéed with garlic and red pepper butter, fried manchego cheese served with pesto and crostini, and El Cid ceviche with citrus-marinated seafood and cilantro-lime sauce. Entrées are highlighted by filet mignon with chimichurri sauce, halibut filet with mango salsa and Paella Mixta El Cid for two, a house specialty incorporating mussels, shrimp, pork, calamari, halibut, chicken and clams.
