A contender for the coolest spot on 5th in Sunset Park, El Rey del Pescado checks all the boxes. Great staff. Fantastic cocktails at reasonable prices. Excellent seafood elevated by homemade tortillas. Cool atmosphere that makes terrific use of what was once, believe it or not, a big empty shoestore. A nice backyard.
Get some tacos, get the whole fried snapper, get a mezcal cocktail, and rock out at El Rey.
