"El Rey, the popular taco and tequila bar built inside shipping containers on U Street NW, is closed until further notice because a kitchen staffer has tested positive for COVID-19. The bar announced on social media today that it learned of the development last night. Yesterday, El Rey (919 U Street NW) was busy meeting Cinco de Mayo demand that led many takeout customers across the city to ignore social distancing protocols in place to protect them from the coronavirus. The bar was sending out liter margarita-and-shot specials, hosting a DJ for a live stream, and telling Twitter followers to “just show up and order up!” if phones were busy." - Tierney Plumb
