It’s always a fiesta at this landmark Mexican restaurant thanks to the overflowing combination plates and strong margaritas.

On March 5, 1931, Blanche March and husband George opened El Coyote at La Brea and 1st Street. The L.A. institution now occupies a 375-seat space in the middle of Beverly Boulevard’s restaurant row. The casual Mexican café is an Angeleno rite of passage due to its south of the border prices, fiesta-like atmosphere and strong margaritas. The menu is filled with good values, especially the Coyote Combos: enchiladas, tacos, chiles rellenos and tamales. Most items are available with beef, chicken or ostrich meat. That’s right, ostrich. Specials are carnitas, fajitas and the Enchilada Howard, named for the restaurant’s first regular, a cheese enchilada covered with chile con carne. For dessert, the choice is simple: ice cream, sherbet or flan.
