El Rey

Mexican restaurant · U Street

"Classic margaritas, served frozen or on the rocks, are $8 for a glass or $27 for a pitcher at this U Street bar. Thanks to its 2 a.m. closing time on Fridays, it is the ideal spot for late-night dwellers. An additional location sits in Ballston." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
