Wonderful spot, great food. This was a nice experience to eat Sunday lunch at this legendary restaurant. Everything was delicious, the service was nice and friendly. The interior seems to be very original as it was for years in a good sense. By the way I got a specially made vegan burrito for me. Just simple but yummy beans, guac and raw onion wrapped in tasty tortilla, delicious. I would appreciate a one single fully plant-based item on the menu. I believe, people would like it!
Fun kitschy Californian Mexican place. Very Hollywood vibe.
The rice and beans have no lard or meat broth (I called ahead and asked and also reconfirmed with our waiter), so it's great for vegetarians. But lactovetetarians, because all of the vegetarian options on the menu have cheese. And are delicious.
My fellow diners enjoyed their chicken fajitas (note if you order a "fajita" it's a regular one, with meat, onions, peppers, etc, but if you order a "fajita plate" it comes with no vegetables - I found that part a bit confusing).
Sitting on the patio was nice.
We stopped for a cocktail at El Coyote on our last trip to Hollywood. What a great looking place! The vibe was a throwback to a few decades ago, and worth a walk around. The staff was friendly, and the chips & salsa were tasty. I ordered the El Coyote Margarita. Fair warning: the margaritas are very strong. After our drinks we asked if we could take a look around, and they happily obliged. We found the booth they used in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood", and took a few pics. The entire restaurant has a great vibe, and no matter where you might sit for dinner you'd be hard-pressed to not feel California Cool. It's a great place to stop in after or before a movie at the New Beverly Cinema down the street, too.
My first stop on my LA trip. After a busy morning of traveling .. this was a great place for lunch. The service was slow , but the food and atmosphere Made up for it! I got to see the “Tate” table, which was kind of eerie but cool at the same time.
Try their “House Famous Margarita” it’s fantastic . And for food the Enchilada Howard yum yum yum
I loved this place. Fun, kitschy cal/mex. Historic to LA. My burrito was La Cucina style which I thought meant guac but turned out was enchilada style which I was all for. Service was wonderful, my waitress had been here 30 years. Read my mind with drink refills and gave little touches like wrapping up my food while I was in the bathroom and saying “I left the chips so you could decide what you wanted to do with them. I felt like I was in someone’s home. I know, a bit touristy, but I’m a sucker for great service, especially in LA. Will happily recommend to friends.
An iconic Mexican restaurant at the heart of LA. Definitely not the highest quality, nor the best atmosphere or service but you get a consistency of relatively good food at a reasonable price.
Great food! Amazing atmosphere! Tarantino hangs out here sometimes. The plate was scolding hot but the food temperature was literally perfect. Cant recommend enough!
Photo is baby's dad and baby but you can see my tamale at the bottom. It's kinda dark in there where we were but I'm sure alotta people like that. Free chips and salsa. Reasonably priced dishes. Especially for now a days. I gotta skinny margarita, ah ok honestly I got 3. 😆. They're not that BIG. But they're strong enough. I got the green tamales and they were vegetarian if you're vegetarian. The tamales were pretty decent size and came with rice and beans. You get 2 tamales. Baby's dad got a steak burrito, pretty BIG size. Both dishes were really good. I'd definitely go back and I'd definitely recommend El Coyote to anyone else, Especially someone visiting LA because I think they've been here a long time. Kind of like an LA staple.
The food is great!!! Big portions. Lots of history. Also we got to seethe booth where Sharon Tate had her last meal.
Great neighborhood spot. Outside seating and tasty margaritas. Portions are huge. Fajitas are a must.
