That Friday evening vibe.
Even the sky looks like one of our margarita swirls. 😍
Grt 📷 @becca.magner and belated HBD @tessdianah!

The strongest margaritas AND the baddest bartenders in the land.
Find them both at our taqueria. 😉

A weekday happy hour means smiles and margaritas all around. What better way to hang out after work than with your besties. Don't forget, on Thursday + Friday we've got happy hour from noon - 7pm!

Since every day is taco day at #ElRey, Tuesdays are for tamales! $3 for these delicious and filling eats all night long. $20 gets you tipsy and full.
