"Maybe it’s been over a year since you’ve sat on a restaurant patio, and you’re looking for a place that feels momentous, but comfortable too. Grab a table at El Coyote. The classic Mexican restaurant in Beverly Grove has transformed its massive parking lot into one of the largest new outdoor dining spaces in town. There are multiple tents, heaters everywhere, and copious amounts of space in between tables. Most importantly though, a meal here still feels celebratory and a few rounds of their house margaritas will take the edge off anything that needs the edge taken off of. They aren’t taking reservations, but there’s a waitlist online that we recommend using on the weekends." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong
