All the food was delicious. They were accommodating for Covid safety. The service could've been a little better. But as a whole great experience. Food and drinks 8/10.

Nice atmosphere, surprisingly yummy Mexican food (not your typical bar food!), friendly and fast service. You can even request drinks not on the menu. Their patio has super warm heaters -- perfect for outdoor COVID dining even in winter!
The customer service is always great! This spot is really nice for outdoor dining and a quick happy hour after work. My favorite tacos are carnitas, pollo and shrimp. Highly recommend.
Was visiting Washington DC and was super excited to find a cute hipster Mexican joint. It was a Saturday night during Howard's homecoming so it was very lit. First I will speak on the atmosphere. The bar stretches far into the back where there is a lot of seating. There multiple booths which make it perfect for parties. I was with a party of six. All the way on the back is practically the outdoors, a great area to smoke. There are also heaters around that area, ftw. We ordered two pitches of margarita (one traditional on the rocks, the other frozen strawberry). The server told me about their vegan taco that was not on the menu and I got super excited. I also got their tamale (which had cheese) and chips and guacamole. El Rey definitely made my time in DC worth while. Will be back one day.
El Rey is a great (but wild) happy hour spot that gets pretty crowded and has extremely strong margs. Def a good go-to spot tho with decent eats but the nachos are wack.
