El Rey, a popular taco restaurant on the Lower East Side, has closed following a dispute over lease renewal terms. The owner, Carlos Mendoza, confirmed the closure and expressed regret over the sudden end. El Rey had operated at its location for five years, earning a loyal local following. No information has been released about future plans for the brand or potential new locations. The restaurant space has already been listed for lease with brokers actively marketing it to prospective tenants.
