Estaba chido, porque haz de cuenta que, entre los albañiles, como que hay raza que es chida contigo

It was cool because, basically, among the construction workers, there are people who are nice to you

At approx. 08:31:

Sí, está chido, a pesar de que hace un calor bien cabrón

Yeah, it’s cool, even though it’s fucking hot

At approx. 12:21:

 estaba chido, la paga estaba chida

The work was
 it was good, and the pay was good


And in these examples he uses ser + chido to describe people:

At approx. 15:01:

Even though they were drug addicts, they were cool

At approx. 15:25:

Era chido ese vato, me regaló un colchón

That guy was nice, he gave me a mattress



💡 Along with está padre, this is THE classic way to say something is cool, fun, great, nice, or enjoyable.

Examples:
