El Coyote Mexican Café, family owned and operated since 1931, celebrates its 90th Anniversary this weekend.
The original location was a tiny spot on First Street and La Brea in Los Angeles, CA. At today's location at 7312 Beverly Boulevard the colorful décor, the brightly outfitted servers, the tasty Mexican food favorites, and the world-famous margaritas all make dining at El Coyote an experience like no other.
Margie and Barbara are sisters, and the owners of El Coyote. They are the nieces of the couple that started El Coyote, Blanche and George March. When Blanche passed, she left El Coyote to her brother and his wife, which were the parents of Margie and Barbara. When they passed, their daughters were given the gift of El Coyote. Today Margie’s son, Wayne is the third generation to help run the day-to-day restaurant operation.
Take a listen to Neil and Margie talk about some of the great specials El Coyote have in celebration.
On Saturday and Sunday, March 6, 2021 and March 7, 2021, get one El Coyote pizza for just $0.90. Offer good for one pizza per table and dine-in only (no take-out orders).
There’s a kind of magic that can be felt the minute you walk in. Autographed photographs of Hollywood stars line one wall just inside the entrance. John Wayne, Loretta Young and Ricardo Montalban ate there. A young Drew Barrymore spent many an evening tearing around the restaurant while family members dined. Royalty also came calling when Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco walked in unannounced. And probably the most notorious incident in El Coyote history occurred in August of 1969 when Sharon Tate and Company ate their last meal there which led to El Coyote’s appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s latest feature film, “Once Upon A TimeInHollywood...”.
