El Rey Del Sol: This subterranean dive serves up Mexican cuisine at its simplest. Quesadillas, fajitas, burritos, and bean dip come in plentiful portions in their kitschy dining room and garden. Fortunately, El Rey Del Sol serves up pitchers of sangria and margaritas to match their cuisine. And what margaritas they are—they come in varieties including watermelon, cantaloupe, orange, or grapefruit along with alternating daily specials. If “fruity” isn’t your thing, your waitress can tell you about their serviceable selection of Mexican beer, which includes 24-oz. Coronas. She’ll also tell you that you’re in the wrong neighborhood. Should you find yourself settling into one of the garden tables, it just might be time to order all three—sangria, margaritas, and beer—and bid your evening plans a fond adios. |
