El Rey Navy Yard is a popular waterfront spot known for its relaxed atmosphere and good vibes. It offers a mix of outdoor patio seating and an indoor bar with pool tables and music. The restaurant is especially appreciated for its affordable prices and tasty drinks, including strong margaritas. On Taco Tuesday, customers enjoy three tacos for $12, with birria and fish tacos being favorites, although the mushroom tacos are less recommended. Visitors often find the food to be good, with some mentioning that it’s mostly appetizers, making it a nice place to munch while drinking. The service is generally friendly and attentive, with staff like Jordan receiving praise for their hospitality. The place also stands out for its location in DC’s Navy Yard, providing a genuine experience compared to other Capitol riverfront bars. Despite occasional minor issues, such as a less helpful food runner, El Rey Navy Yard remains a chill, enjoyable spot for good food, drinks, and good times by the water.
