El Coyote Cafe

cool atmosphere, wretched food

Review Rating
The margaritas are hallucinogenic but the food is atrocious. The interior is very cool though - filled with kitsch. Sharon Tate had her last meal here.

The decor at El Coyote is a combination of fake-peeling-plaster and authentic Mexican folk art. What draws thousands of people to this unpretentious landmark, including fraternity guys, blue hairs and Hollywood rockers? It can't be the food--countless gallons of refried beans and rice laden with glutinous orange cheese. It must be the margaritas, the fiesta ambience and the prices. Those bent... more

El Coyote Mexican Foods serves you a Mexican cuisine. Expect the average entrée to cost for the most part in the range of $8 to $12, and you`ll be fine if dressed casual.

Lines are long on weekends and they don't take reservations. Belly up to the bar and wait it out.

Editorial Reviews from the web

Since 1931, this Spanglish institution has been the source of all things cheesy.

The Scene Born of the gringo Mexican craze of the 1930s (which also spawned Olvera Street's tienda look), this joint has all the trimmings: black velvet paintings, Christmas lights galore and waitresses in embroidered folk dresses. Families, college kids and gay dinner dates keep the place packed at all hours. The Food The cuisine is firmly grounded in canned beans,... more

Tequila rite of passage where the wiley skip anything even resembling food. Generous margaritas go down like Slurpies, with double the brain freeze. Legendary scene of Paramount post-posts. Back in the day it was Sharon Tate's unfortunate Last Supper; today it's Dennis Franz and stoned teenagers hoping they're not carding. They are. Kitsch family decor, and a maze of Mexico's most stereotypical... more

Stick to the basics, crunchy chicken tacos, margaritas, carnitas. Occasionally the tostada works too.

Pros

+ Tallest glass of wine in town.

Cons

- They don't drive you home.

Incredible service and the food was outstanding. Next time I visit LA I'm booking a hotel as close as possible. Make sure El Coyote is on your list, you won't regret it.

Pros

+ Everything, my list is too long.

Cons

- None, if there's a line it's worth the wait.
