"Sprawled on the banks of the Anacostia River, Navy Yard’s new 300-seat El Rey marks the showiest project yet for D.C. hospitality brothers Ian and Eric Hilton. Unlike the other two landlocked locations, El Rey 3.0 embraces a “coastal taqueria” vibe with a dominant outdoor dining situation that’s even bigger than the interior (166 vs. 134 seats). Happy hour (weekdays 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) includes $7 margs and frozen cocktails in rotating flavors; $4 Estrella beers; two tacos for $10 all day on Tuesday; and (happy hour-only) loaded nachos for $10." - Vinciane Ngomsi
