El Tranvia
El Tranvia is a large Mexican restaurant on Sixth Street in Coachella, California, known for its torta de milanesa, chicken mole and meats prepared fresh daily.
Overview
El Tranvia is located at 1221 Sixth Street in Coachella and seats up to 175 people. Locale Magazine included it in its list of the desert's five best taco and taquería stops, though the dish it recommended is a sandwich: the torta de milanesa, made with breaded and fried pork or beef cutlet.
The magazine also mentions chicken mole and coco ceviche, served in a coconut, and reports that meats are prepared fresh on site each day. The owner later opened an ice cream parlor next door.
Notes
Its size makes it one of the larger dining rooms in downtown Coachella, suited to families and groups. Sources do not name the owner or give a founding date.
