El Coyote is what Republicans think Mexicans are like. It’s one of the oldest restaurants in Los Angeles and it delivers on your tourist red-state expectations of Mexican cuisine and culture. The guilty pleasure is that the food is really, really good and deeply satisfies the crappetite. A huge menu of the same ten items reconstituted different ways. Rolled, fried, plated, sauced; the variety of ways to serve beef, pork, and chicken are myriad. Waitresses in big rainbow skirts and waiters who feign poor language skills. You can pretend you’re on a scheduled cruise ship getaway! Great food that blocks your colon like concrete.
