Food: great solid food and you can't go wrong with the ceviches. I'd actually prefer getting their drinks during happy hour! Limited vegetarian options though Service: more of a slower pace service and you might need to wave down your waiter. Overall, super friendly staff. Ambiance: spacious location and is super cute inside and out! It's a great place to gather a large group of people. The rooftop area is super cute and great for photos! Parking: lots of ample street parking if you're okay parallel parking! There's a small parking lot in the back for customers too Giving them a 5/5 for the solid food, cute ambiance, and friendly staff.
Came here for a cousins night out and it was amazing!!! Who knew Willow glen had such a modern classy Mexican place. I loved everything about it. 1) chips, Salsa and Guacamole: generous serving of guacamole that never ended I loved in 2) Small plate - Brussels sprouts: oh my!!! Next time I'm just ordering 2 plates of this. Oily salted roasted brussel sprouts with the most refreshing citrusy dressing!!! Delicious - I'll never forget it. 3) Cauliflower tacos: cute little things with pieces of fried cauliflower. It needed lots of spice for me to eat it, but it was good. 4) Pomegranate Margarita: oooo I felt happiness in every sip. Relaxed me and I started talking nonstop ... lol 5) Mexican Donuts: overly fried, uneven cooking, undercooked center. Skip this completely! I'll come here again with friends for sure!
We had a great time at Copita today. The service was friendly and hospitable. The food was delicious! I ordered the 24 hour carnitas and oh my it was tasty. The chips and guacamole was fresh and tasty. The restaurant was very nice and comfortable.
Went to have dinner here on a Sunday evening and it wasn't super busy. Food(4/5): we ordered a few things, the Coctel mixto was really good! We enjoyed it with the avocado it came with. The pozole had good flavor as well but the meat was a bit tough. I liked the presentation of the tetela oaxaca, it was really good as well but I felt the portion was just a bit small. It's a good size if you plan to try different items though. The horchata wasn't very good it was too powdery. Service(5/5): service was really good and friendly, we had more than one waiter check in with us from time to time and received a complimentary item before we ordered. Ambiance(5/5): I love the interior of this restaurant! It's vibrant and even the bar has a good vibe. It's pretty spacious so it's likely to always have seating available which is great if you don't want to wait long to be seated.
I have been here a couple of times. The food and that too vegetarian is simply awesome. The service both times was very prompt, courteous, and friendly. The cocktails are really nice too. Overall, a great place to have dinner with family and friends.
