Mexican restaurant with DJs, brunch, and margaritas
"A taco-and-tequila bar located across from Nationals Park, serving as competition to El Rey." - Tierney Plumb
"This two-story Mexican bar right across from Nationals Park is where sports fans and late-night crowds congregate for margaritas and sheet pan nachos. The millennial-driven group added a beachy bar next door called Royal Sands Social Club that resembles one big pool party and was named Eater DC’s Design of the Year in 2023." - Tierney Plumb
"Along with all-night happy hour on Mondays, there’s a 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. deal on Tuesday through Thursday and 4 p.m. to do 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. The week-long discount includes $6 tequila shots, drafts starting at $5.90, margs for $9.50, $2 chips and salsa, and $5 tacos." - Missy Frederick
"Mission Navy Yard and Royal Sands Social Club owner Fritz Brogan, himself a former political operative, designed both spaces with private elevators and entrances to private event rooms. They’ve been used for political fundraisers and names like AOC and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg when they met for nachos and tacos at Mission." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The massive Mexican restaurant across from Nationals Park fires up fans with orange crushes by the glass ($11) or pitcher ($34). The group’s Dupont sibling spot the Admiral also offers the drink during bottomless brunch." - Emily Venezky
