Like the other locations, the new spot serves tacos, burritos, tostadas, and more, with a Happy Hour running weekdays 3-6pm, where you can get $10 nachos, $7 margaritas, and a rotating selection of frozen cocktails." - omnia saed

14 Best New Restaurant Rooftops and Patios in D.C. | Eater DC

"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

The Best Mexican Restaurants in Philadelphia | Eater Philly

"Puebla and Veracruz cuisine is the influence behind the south-of-the-border appeal of restaurateur Stephen Starr’s El Rey in Rittenhouse. Here, Mexican folk art and Spanish movie posters fill the walls as tasty carnitas tacos, tumbada (a Veracruz-style paella), hearty nachos, and boozy margaritas are served with ease. Head to Fishtown to check out Starr’s sibling spot LMNO — a restaurant, lounge, book store, and art gallery all rolled into one." - Ernest Owens

The 18 Best Happy Hours In Philadelphia

"When: Monday-Friday, 4-6pm The Deal: $4 Tacos, $5 Modelo Draft, $6 Margaritas, And $2-$8 Snacks This Center City spot is almost guaranteed to get busy during Happy Hour. Coworkers line up for a run of spiced wings and sh*t talking and friends meetup up over beers and tacos. The retro spot is a fun place to have some cheap drinks, get a stranger's number, and count the old Mexican cinema posters on the wall. " - candis mclean

Where to Sip Margaritas in D.C. | Eater DC

"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." - Tierney Plumb
