The establishment features a festive atmosphere, signature margaritas, delicious tacos, and exclusive treats unique to the Ballston location.
With a design that pays homage to the shipping container theme of its predecessor, El Rey showcases murals by local artist Mike Pacheco, creating a modern street art vibe. The main bar offers 12 beers on draft, including selections from local craft breweries, while the Lucha Libre Room is ideal for semi-private events and happy hour gatherings.
