Had to try this place and I am so glad I did! My girlfriend and I ordered margaritas, chips and pico, and tacos! The margaritas were delicious and the tacos were fresh and made to perfection! The chips were fresh and delicious and the pico was full of flavor! For sure my favorite stop for tacos and margaritas ! Highly recommend!

We had a bowl, street corn in a cup, and tamale 🫔. All passed the taste test. Very good Mexican food! Give them a try!

Some of the BEST food I’ve had in awhile! All the flavors were incredible. Sid, the owner, seemed like the kindest man. The prices were very reasonable. We also got the fresh orange juice which was the perfect desert. If I was a local, I’d be here a lot more often!

Excellent in every way. Polite, friendly people and excellent food. We’ve eaten here three times on our short trip and everything has been exceptional.

This facility is clean and service was quick. Tacos were ok. Not the worst I’ve had but not the best either. The Mexican street corn was fantastic. It’s not served on the cob but it’s delicious.

Was pleasantly surprised by the decor on Ocean Drive. They did a very unique concept for the beach area and the food did not disappoint. Very quaint sitting area along the a twinkle light path as well as a deck area alongside the sidewalk. Will definitely be back.

Went for lunch Monday and got the “you Juan a bowl with mahi. Was tasty and reasonably priced. I went back the next day for the steak tacos. I really enjoyed the unique flavor of the steak. The soft corn shells were lightly grilled giving them a perfect texture and taste. Again reasonable priced and served with a smiling thank you. I recommend trying them for yourself!

This place is soooooo good! The chips and quezon are the best I have ever had from anywhere. Everything is perfect about this place from the atmosphere, to the design inside, the “pickup” truck, and especially the food!!

Cute local joint! Vegetarian tacos are amazing! So is the street corn! Green salsa is yummy! Friendly fast service! Cute outside seating & good music playing!

I ordered 4 tacos at the food truck. I was told 20-30 min wait. After 40 minutes, I asked when I could expect my food. They told me they were very busy and they were doing the best they can. I said thats fine, I just wanted to know when to expect my food. The lady said “I already told you, it would be 20-30 minutes!”. I said “I know, it’s been 40 minutes.” She told me I had not been waiting that long and I had to wait my turn. I got out my receipt to prove I had been waiting that long. Then, they could not find the ticket and said I must have given them a different name. Nope, my name was correct on the receipt. After another 5 minutes they gave me my food and did not apologize for making me wait or accusing me of lying.Oh, and the tacos sucked too. Dry and tasteless.

Best Tacos in Vero Beach.Guacamole Chips, Corn, Tortilla soup and Tacos are the best.

Awesome little taco shop on the beach with very fresh & delicious food and a fun atmosphere. The pick up window is a cute little rustic yellow pick up truck, they actually hand you the food out of the truck window. Its tiny on the inside but has a really nice outdoor seating area.. We ate at a table tucked off by itself under the trees.. i had the mahi bowl which was very fresh and so yummy. My daughter got the carnitas bowl that she really loved. We shared the chips & salsa. Then we both got the frozen coffee that was very creamy & so delicious. The place was very clean and staff were all super friendly and seemed to be enjoying their job.The key lime pie in refrigerator looked pretty good, we will have to try that next visit. We drove an hour to try this place...no regrets...will definitely be coming back soon

Great food - when they get your order right. They literally do not understand what “no cheese” means. Every. Single. Time. I order it with no cheese (I have a dairy allergy) and every single time it comes with cheese. Literally at least 6 times now. Yes, they will remake your order, but after the insanely long wait time the last thing I want is to wait again for them to get it right. Today my dad ordered and brought it home for me, he was explicit about there not being cheese on my tacos when he ordered, lo and behold he brings it to me and it is covered in cheese. Now Im 15 minutes away and have zero desire to make the trip back to get the order right. I dont understand why the concept of a person not wanting cheese on their taco is so complicated for this establishment. Its a bummer because I do like it here, but it is not worth it for me anymore.

Run, don’t walk here if you’re visiting Vero Beach. This was the best meal we had while here, hands down. The margaritas were amazing - tart, sweet and almost creamy in some way. They have proper queso and guac, and the chips were outstanding. The carnitas and chicken tacos were moist and flavorful. The orange and vanilla swirl ice cream were a delicious way to end the meal. And the customer service was delightful - super-friendly, charming and warm.

I am a Vero local and this place is hands down the best Mexican food on the island and probably in all of Vero. I eat here all the time. My only beef: small napkins. Please get some decent sized napkins. And I also hate being guilted into tipping every time I use my card. “Just answer a couple of questions and you’re all set”. I tip for table service, Not for just taking my order. Now get off my lawn and go have some tacos!

Holy moly this place is good. Coming from California, I expect to be disappointed by most tacos places in Florida — but not Sid’s. My husband and I ate here 4 times while on vacation in Vero Beach. Everything, every time was so fresh and flavorful, from the homemade and deliciously thick tortillas, grilled chicken, salad bowls and more. And their juices and slushes! Natural and refreshing. We will be back!

Freshly made food to order! We loved it so much we went back the next for more breakfast tacos!!

***The reason for the three stars;There was very little chicken on the chicken quesadilla.There is very very little beef brisket in the empanada.The Mexican street corn was a very small portion.*That was the bad, but the good things were;The flavor was amazing.The service was amazing.For being a small restaurant it was well themed.*My wife and I found this restaurant we were excited to try it. Our server said that the portions are very big. As you can see by the pictures the empanada is no bigger than my fist and probably half as thick. Portion sizes were average but they really did skimp on the meat. It’s a shame because everything was so flavorful.As you can see by the menu – if you zoom in -there is a decent selection for choices. The thing that makes this restaurant nice is that countryside citrus is in the same space and it is great to grab for dessert afterward.If you’re looking for great taste – this is your place. If you are looking for value… Maybe in the future they will add more protein to their dishes to make it more worthwhile.

Amazing. I ate here twice a day for 4 days during my visit. Fish seasoning was delicious. Didnt find anything on the menu I didnt like.Side note: lot of single use plastic id like to see go away but might be a lingering covid effect.

Delicious, authentic, and reasonably priced Mexican food in a friendly and welcoming environment. We got the “You ‘Juan’ a bowl” and it was delicious. It’s quiet and laid back. There’s a nice patio to sit, eat, and people watch.There’s big a cool market inside that sells local fruit, homemade ice cream, and other snacks.Definitely worth stopping in for a snack!Their ice cream is also DELICIOUS, so make sure you grab a pint! (Thanks for the sample of the awesome, orange ice cream cake!)

Super fresh and delicious foods. The orange juice with vanilla ice cream is a must!

Best carne asada tacos Ive had in a long time! The margarita slushy was pretty awesome too!!

Had the carne asada bowl. A+ food. Will eat here again on my next trip.

Amazing Mexican food, fresh and authentic. Don’t miss the chips & guacamole. Soft shell tacos w big slices of beef were amazing. We first went to happy hour next door at Costa De Esta then picked up dinner to bring home. A perfect evening. Dining can also happen outside on their front patio and they sell beer.

So yummy! Friendly, fast and fun service. The “you juan a bowl” was fantastic and authentic. Did not disappoint, beautiful view of ocean drive as well. Overall great experience every time I go.

Mini Mexican food, small portions, I read some of the reviews, and it looks like you guys don’t get out much. If your on a diet or watching your carbs intake, I highly recommend this place.

Food was good and a nice atmosphere.

There is outdoor dining. The area is cool and comfortable on a hot day. Dogs are allowed in the outside dining area.Food is Fabulous. We had the You Juan a Bowl, the quesadillas and the House made tortilla chips. We will return.

Off the hook good...get the empinada. Wife lives the veg tacos.

Great food! I ordered the tacos and my husband had a taco and a tamale. I got carne asada and chicken; the carne asada was delicious as well as the chicken, though it was a little spicy. My husband said his tamale was also spicier than hed like, which hes not one to complain about spiciness. The chips and guacamole were fresh. My husband ended up also ordering a carne asada quesadilla afterward and we both enjoyed it. We ended up getting a orange smoothie for dessert that was refreshing. All in all, we had a great lunch!

Best TEX MEX! Holy moly. Fresh chips made to order. By far the best chips and bean dip we have ever had.

My steak taco tasted fresh and hot and the service was surprising quick considering this was a Sunday in January (Peak Season). Unfortunately, I have to take a couple stars off because $4 for a little taco is super pricey! If your really hungry, you better bring a lot of pesos or go to Taco Bell.

We have been back 3x to enjoy the delicious food and Ice cream and planning on coming back again tomorrow.

Way overpriced tacos for what they taste like and their size. Chips and queso is very good and the orange slushy as well. It was cool to check out but won’t return with way better options here in town

I really wanted to like this place but we waited 30 minutes for 4 tacos. They came out cold, and tasted mediocre. During that time 2 other people cancelled their orders because of the wait, they didn’t seem that busy...just very disorganized. I would think if there was a long wait it would be nice to let the customers know, and maybe even give them chips and salsa while they wait. Terrible customer service. I do like the ambience, and vibe of the place. But in the end it’s all about the food!

Food was bland no flavor, looked yummy but no taste, i couldnt tell the difference from pork beef or Mahi tacos by taste only by sight and I ordered all 3.The place has potential it just needs better cooks.Please hire better cooks, until then I will not step foot into your restaurant again.

If the free fresh OJ and fruit samples (delicious by the way) don’t get you in the door, this orange and vanilla soft serve will. The staff is just as sweet as their citrus! On top of all this, the prices are VERY reasonable. Counting down the days until my next visit!

We came to Vero a month ago from NY and struggled to find authentic mexican food, until we finally tried El Sid. really good tacos, awesome empanada (seems like it’s a spin on traditional, and it’s amazing), and homemade sauces. Sid was also there, and came to each person to ask how they were liking their food which we really appreciated. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in his history and his taqueria and wants everyone to enjoy it.we’ve been there 3-4 times already because of how much we enjoyed it, and will go back ASAP!

This place in insanely good. We ordered take out twice in three days. The second time they forgot to include our dessert but the quac is so good we werent even mad. Will return the next time were in beautiful Vero Beach.

We had the steak and chicken tacos and they were very delicious!!

Excellent street tacos with fresh tasting ingredients.

Best chips and queso Ive ever had!!! The mahi tacos are amazing and the frozen orange juice is a must get if you go here. The soft serve ice cream is also great! i recommend the orange and vanilla

The taco I had was great. The chips and salsa was outstanding. I highly recommend this place.

This place has THE BEST chips and guac!! Wowza! I would eat here everyday if I lived nearby. We just happened to be walking by and decided we wanted to give it a try, and we were so impressed! The ice cream was good, too.

My wife and I have nothing good to say about this place. First, the place closes at 8PM. We drove 2 hours to Vero Beach and got there at around 7:30PM. By the time we checked in at our hotel and got to this place it was 8:05 PM and they were already close. Despite that we still wanted to try it for breakfast the next day. I called them early the next day and placed our order for 2 Salads, they took our credit card over the phone and charged it right away. The lady said it would take about ten minute so my wife went to pick up the order and when she got there he was told they were not making salads that day. Not only that but the staff was extremely rude. She was ignored by the ladies in front and when my wife asked for her credit they did not even know how to do that. I am very sorry to say that we will not give this place another chance and needless to say wont be recommending it to anyone.

The home made orange slushy is amazing! Perfect treat for a scorching summer day.

Excellent food. The owner needs to be aware that the morning cook rarely shows up so breakfast service is hit or miss. We went this morning and they cancelled breakfast for the 3rd time because the cook didn’t show.

Lets start with these are the best tacos I have had in a long time. And SoCal is a usual spot. Everything is fresh and super tasty. The corn tortillas are better than fresh made street car in MX. Service is top notch! Please try when in Vero

The Mexican inspired dishes here are absolutely authentic! You can tell everything is prepared from scratch and the queso and chips are as good as anywhere I have tried them including Mexico!The Carne Asada is extremely tender and full of flavor. The cilantro rice is simply amazing to complement and of the bowls or tacos.Expect a wait no matter the time you arrive but believe me it will be worth it!

This place is awesome. $4 tacos exploding with flavors. Try the Triple J if youre vegetarian. Chips are heavy, moist and salty - like they should be. Our new favorite place!

The food is made to order from fresh products and the people who run the place are awsome.

Cute place. Good food - good service. Will go back

Look, I was a skeptic, but the orange slush with ice cream blew me away. So so good.

Ill start by saying staff was friendly and the food we ordered was fast and correct. Otherwise food was just disappointing.We ordered chips & guac, tacos and an empanada.Everything came topped with a ton of onions, cilantro, tomatoes and sour cream seemingly to cover up that nothing was seasoned.I love all these ingredients but they do nothing when the guac is bland or the meat has no flavor.If you enjoy your food without seasoning this place would probably be good for you.

Bug zapper was at 2’ height and 2 year old grandson walked up to it and touched it. Obviously, he got a zap and cried. Bright blue, glowing light. We were looking at the menu board when it happened and it was right in the open. I feel it should be mounted away from little hands.

Good tacos, good ice cream, good OJ.

Ice cream side good but food side not to good.Food had the taste but was cold and my wife ordered the scoop that was supposedly a Pico de Gallo with choice of protein also cold and small portion of protein just looked more like lettuce than anything else.I recommend more supervision in the kitchen.

My girlfriend and I went to get a to go order for Valentines day and ended up siting on the front bench for an hour waiting on 4 tacos. I asked if it was ready about 30 mins in and they said no, but when I got my food it was ice cold and my cheese wasnt even slightly melted and the toppings I wanted werent on it correctly. Great quality of ingredients, they just need to get their kitchen working right.

Margarita slushy was good. I asked the teenager behind the counter to make sure we had some meat on our 7 tacos. This is after I read reviews about little chicken and steak on their tacos. My son ordered 4 tacos, my wife ordered 1 chicken taco and the shrimp cocktail which had very little shrimp. I ordered 2 steak tacos. All tacos had very little meat. My wife never complains but tonight she and my son and I were disappointed. My son normally can’t finish 3 tacos, this time he left hungry. Nice kids working there. But we will not be back.

Great breakfast (must try The Big Juan). We are in Vero visiting from Atlanta. Always been a fan of Countryside Citrus (we have fresh fruit shipped every year) and had to try their new restaurant. Did not disappoint! Staff was incredibly friendly and gave great suggestions on the menu. Food was outstanding - amazing blend of flavors - and the margarita and orange slushies were so fresh and yummy! We will definitely make a second trip before we head back to the big city to get some of the tacos that everyone is talking about! Quaint spot with cute patio.

Native Californians and we know good Mexican food. El Sid has the best tacos that weve found, since leaving our birth state.Well done, Chef!

I never write restaurant reviews, but my experience was SO bad that I needed to let people know. The empanadas were inedible, as were the veggie tacos. I threw everything in the trash (after waiting far too long for tacos). The young lady at the counter indicated that I was not the first to complain that day and while I was waiting to order, she was handling a complaint on the phone. If you have had good tacos, please do not expect good tacos here. I dont say this lightly, but they either need different cooks, or they need to try a new food concept. It was BAD.

Love the hospitality..the carnitas bowl with red and green sauce is on point!!!!! Jeezuss brang tha kids

Came for tacos and was not disappointed. unlike many places where a veggie taco is an afterthought, the veggie taco is actually full of flavor! i think the best part of the taco experience were the (seemingly) homemade tortillas. hand made corn tortillas make all the difference!indoor seating is not very plentiful in normal times (COVID seating moves everyone outside), but the outdoor patio is cute.the frozen orange dessert side of the restaurant seemed like it was super popular with the beach-going crowd.

Be prepared, dinner portions are TINY! Quesidilla is the same size as a taco and price is pretty expensive for the tiny size. Taste wise its pretty good but I paid $50 for 3 people and were still hungry...Also asked for extra guac, no cilatro, and no jalapeños but none of this was accurate to our order so Id double check what you get and make sure you buy more than you think youll need cause you will need it lol

Delicious!!I keep raving about this place to my parents who live up north.They are going to visit me in a few weeks and are excited to try the orange soft serve.

What an awesome meal! The empanada was delicious!!

Stopped here even after reading about the small portion sizes as I was craving tacos. The tacos I had were of a normal size. I don’t think I’ve had much bigger elsewhere. I had the street corn appetizer, as well. That was small, didn’t seem like a full cob of corn. The food was all very tasty: prepared well and presented attractively. The prices are on the high side though. I don’t they think they should be expected to charge $2 a taco since the quality is definitely good and it’s obvious they use good ingredients. $4 is a bit high though. $3-$3.50 would be a sweet spot if they could figure out how to make that work. If you are customer here expecting $2 tacos though you need to have a lower quality expectations and go further from the ocean!I also had a margarita and it was tasty. 2 tacos, street corn app and margarita for $26. Not too bad. I wish them luck!

Ive always loved the ice cream here! So unique & delicious but the best thing here now is Shelly in the El Sid kitchen!! We were wowed by all the meals. Everything was so fresh and unbelievable! & My friends from brazil said it was the best food they have had in the states and definitely was surprised it was hiding in a little taco stand! I absolutely love it here and I know where ever Shelly is cooking- I will be there. Thank you for such great food!!!

Amazing! The food is fresh and tasty. Key lime pie to die for. Service is great. Also, Love the truck service window. You will not be disappointed here. Go Now!

Waited an hour when there was no line. Couldn’t even get chips within an hour while we waited. Food was cold. Order was screwed up. Margaritas had no tequila. People were unpleasant. I wish there was a zero star option.

I was disappointed they did not have pork for the carnitas, but I had 2 carne asada tacos, 1 pollo asado, and an empanada. Everything was DELICIOUS. I will definitely try this place again.I went back a few days later, pork carnitas were available. They were also very delicious. Definitely a favorite spot of mine in the Vero area now.

We always look forward to the orange juice slushees during our annual trip to Vero. We were pleasantly surprised to find a delicious taco lunch incorporated into the mix. These were by far the best tacos I’ve had in years! Very fresh and authentic. We can’t wait to return!

Best little restaurant in Vero, though their menu is limited. The tacos are great and the coffee is decent, something thats hard to find in most restaurants.

Their orange ice cream is delicious one of kind!! I gotta quit chowing down and take more pictures!!

I wish I could eat the orange soft-serve every day. Cute little shop tucked into the palm trees. They also sell orange juice and key lime pies.

AMAZING!! Great service, great food.

Countryside Citrus has bee one of our favorite stop spots when kicking around on the beach-side of Vero. We have always popped in for the orange/vanilla slushy drinks and ice cream (something Id recommend for everyone).Recently, we stopped in for some refreshment and saw that they are now boasting a some taco selections for those who need more than a refreshing drink. We ordered a couple of tacos - from a list of very creative options. We grabbed a seat in the out-door area, waited for the tacos to be ready (didnt take too long) and enjoyed them immensely. Fresh, creative, tasty! You really dont want to miss Countryside if you are visiting our little beach community!

We couldnt find much chicken in our 3 taco bowls. The quesadilla was 4 bites, very tiny, disappointing. The peach empanada we didnt think tasted good with cinnamon.All in all, dont recommend this place. It was not a busy time, tuesday lunch.

First time here, and not disappointed. Post-pandemic (sort of), and the food was great with good size portions, but we didn’t have meat, so I cannot speak to that. The ice cream cone was pretty small for $4, but the slushee was to die for! We will definitely be back. Good luck, and stay safe.

Very much agree with Geoff Moores recent review. The decor, service, outdoor seating, food selection, flavors, and salsas are great. The biggest problem is that the portions are much too small for the price, maybe half of what Id expect. In particular,the bowl, presented as a full meal, was like a snack, and had very little meat. Thats why I knocked it down 2 stars, since while everything else is good, you come to a restaurant primarily to eat.

The tacos are the best i have had in the area. Service is friendly.

Do they not have a phone where customers could call in and place orders? You could try and call now until morning they won’t answer!! Horrible, especially when it’s such a booming business, others talked about this too other than that the food is great.

Yumm! My favorite Ice cream ever is orange ice cream from countryside citrus. 100% recommend going there, everything is very yummy!

Very good food, with a few imperfections.Tacos come in corn tortillas that have been grilled to the point of getting somewhat stiff and chewy, which detracts from the overall taco experience compared to fresh tortillas that are warmed but still soft.Tortilla chips are tasty, but quite greasy, which might be a plus for some folks, but I find to be unnecessary.Street corn has a non-traditional heavy smoky flavor thats not bad, but not as good as the traditional comforting blend of tangy/cheesy/spicy.Carne asada, carnitas, guac all very tasty. Salsas also quite good, especially the roja.The memorably excellent item here? Orange soft serve ice cream - perfect soft serve texture, sweet/creamy/refreshing orange creamsicle flavor.

Best tacos in Vero Beach homemade tortillas slow roasted pork you cant go wrong. My son had the empanadas he said they were the best hes ever had

Really good soft serve ice cream. We had chocolate and a vanilla/orange swirl that were equally delicious.

3 of 4 tacos were the correct ones. The 4th was veggie instead of beef, but very delicious!

Best quesadilla I have ever had. And the flavor of the week 10 out of 10 👍🏼🤌🏼

Love this place, been going here whenever I’m in town and before they remodeled and put a restaurant in it. Haven’t tried the food yet but I smelled great. I was just there for my favorite mix of Orange slush and soft serve, the best! I was a little disappointed they cut down on the flavor though.

Very cool little place. The slushy drinks are very very good and very expensive. But all-in-all to place is a nice little places. Mite go again. B.T.W Orange slushies are just awesome.

Excellent food!! The Mexican street corn is awesome!! The Juan Bowl is a lot of food but so amazing!!!!

I have eaten there several times very good but if you get it to go it’s not the same.

Absolutely delicious breakfast burritos, I will definitely be back! 👍👍 Two thumbs up!

This place is very popular. The owners are very nice. I waited a good bit but the delay was worth it. Happy Cinco!

The Orange ice cream was amazing. We were offered several samples each one outstanding. The gentleman that waited on us could not be more friendly and accommodating. We found this place last year at Christmas and talked about coming back again in August. We enjoyed our ice cream by the ocean and walked back to get a frozen tub of orange ice cream to bring home to the family. I highly recommend stopping in and enjoying the treats this wonderful hidden gem has to offer.

Average taco spot. The tacos were somewhat tasteless and the meats were very dry....

Not great. Unsure of the high ratings. Portions are very small, quite pricey, food barely seasoned, overall didnt taste good. Still hungry even after ordering multiple items. Also saw bugs on the counter after I finished eatingI dont recommend going here.

Visited again recently after a sad experience last year.No fish???Well, they fixed their menu for us non meat eaters now!Woohoo.We had the most delicious mahi tacos Ive had in years!!!We will absolutely positively be back!!!

Great food but everything else was not great
