El Coyote
About
El Coyote, founded in 1931 and on Beverly Blvd for decades, is an old-school Mexican restaurant with servers in traditional dresses and Christmas lights strung across the ceiling. Margaritas and big combo plates are the order, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood filmed here.
Jasmine says
Sailor dresses, Christmas lights and giant combo plates: a living fossil of old-school Hollywood Mexican.
