El Coyote
7312 Beverly Blvd.
L.A., CA
323-939-2255

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 on finding good food are well advised to pass by El Coyote's overflowing combination plates, and its tostadas piled with mountains of canned peas and carrots.

Hours: Sun.-Thurs. 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; Fri., Sat. 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
