Copal Contemporary Mexican Cuisine

Such a great experience! The food was authentic, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. From the chips and salsa to the main dishes, everything was incredible. The service was outstanding—friendly, fast, and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back again. I highly recommend this restaurant!

First time here. We were looking for a steak with a Mexican twist and found this place. Very interesting and unique menu. Fantastic service ! (Evan was our bartender and server and she could NOT have been better!). Fun and lively atmosphere but you can still have a conversation. Got here early and it was slow But by 6pm it started filling up and they served a party of about 30 people for a birthday celebration and they definitely had a good time. Food and cocktails were great!

Great experience at Copal on a quiet evening. The ambiance attracted us from Broadway with the cute light decorations calling out at the traffic passing by. Sat down for some delicious spicy shrimp appetizers that my wife couldn’t get enough of (chupate los dedos). Excellent, friendly service, and some flautas bañadas that were crispy, delicious, and filling. The side of rajas was divine. Barrio beer on tap, great atmosphere, we will definitely be back. Couldn’t get enough of the Cilantro Habanero salsa, not spicy at all, but packed with a creamy lime flavor that was unbelievably succulent.

I visited Copal for dinner and overall had a solid experience. The food was good..everything felt well-made with plenty of vegetarian options that packed some deep, satisfying flavors. That said, it could've been about 10% less salty to really hit the spot. It wasn't the most mind-blowing meal I've ever had, but there were unique flavor combinations that are worth trying and you shouldn't miss if you're in the mood for contemporary Mexican cuisine. Service was top-notch, and the atmosphere added to the vibe.

Copal Contemporary Mexican Cuisine is a true gem in Tucson. Everything we ordered — tortilla soup, Enchiladas Jeranimo, Ceviche Tostado Duo, Rajas, house margaritas, and gooey butter cake — was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, a This restaurant truly stands apart from the typical Mexican-American spots in the area, offering a fresh and elevated take on classic flavors. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!

We visited this restaurant on Saturday as a party of five and unfortunately had one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in Tucson. When we arrived, we were told there would be a 20-minute wait—even though there were about eight 4-top tables sitting completely empty inside and on the patio, plus four open booths. The owner came over and told us they didn’t have a table for five. It was hard to understand why they couldn’t simply add a chair to one of the empty tables or join two of them. After waiting 35 minutes in a restaurant that was less than half full, they finally joined two booths tables for us while servers were mostly standing around. We ordered two Caldo de Queso, one Steak Pa Mi (ribeye, medium), one Pollo Pa Ti, two Salmon Xocolate, and two chicken tacos for my child. The first Caldo de Queso soups that came out were essentially broth with a few carrot pieces and cubes of white cheese—nothing like the photos on their website. To their credit, our server seemed to realize something was wrong and took them back. The second version was closer to what we expected and was acceptable. The two salmon dishes were dry and clearly overcooked. My ribeye had a proper sear, but it had a noticeable unpleasant aftertaste. I’ve been grilling for over 40 years and that flavor is typically the result of unclean grates, excessive lighter fluid, or low smoke-point oil. It was disappointing, especially at this price point. I only ate half of it. The chicken tacos for my child were the worst part of the meal—bland, with a strange texture similar to canned chicken. My child took one bite and wouldn’t eat any more. The only dish that felt worth the money was the Pollo Pa Ti, which our server mentioned had been cooked by the owner. Good presentation, moist chicken with great flavor. When we shared our concerns, the server said she would speak with the owner and mentioned the cooks were in training that evening. She said the owner acknowledged that the salmon was overcooked but did not have the curtesy to stop by our table to apologize or adjust the bill. We were charged full price. In total, we spent $220 on what turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences we’ve had in Tucson. We had high hopes, but between the unnecessary wait, inconsistent food quality, and lack of meaningful resolution, we won’t be returning.

Awesome place! They have authentic flavorful mexican food, fresh ingredients. The service was prompt and very friendly. The atmosphere is very relax and good ambiance music. I'm guessing it could get loud because they have a bar but when I was there it was fairly quiet, good to have a conversation with friends. All in all, we had a great time, food was excellent and the service was very friendly. Amazing place, I recommend 💯

Small business trying to survive in a corporate world. It was very welcoming. Great happy hour. This was our first time and were treated like regulars.

We absolutely adore Copal. The service is always incredible, the food is TO DIE FOR. It's a great choice for vegan or vegetarian options; their jackfruit and mushrooms are divine. The atmosphere is inviting and exciting. They have a very creative drink menu, you cannot go wrong with any of the appetizers; the queso fundido is one of our favorites. Best chips in town, they have the greatest blend of seasonings. Everything on their menu is made to perfection. You are getting exactly what you pay for; made from scratch with heart and soul, there is love in every bite. We have been making our way through the entire menu and not one thing we've had has disappointed. Copal has my heart. Just a few must tries: Tamarindo Paloma, Rajas, Coliflor al Copal, Pastel Azteca. This has got to be one of the BEST Mexican restaurants in town. That is saying a lot in Tucson.

I really wanted to love this place! The location is super convenient on the east side, the space has been redone in a super cute way, and the staff was extremely friendly. Visually, the plates are stunning. But the actual food left me really underwhelmed. Even starting with chips and salsa, they brought two teeny condiment cups with the chips, one with a bland tomato sauce and the other was creamy, sort of like ranch dressing. Neither was tasty enough to eat. I had the elote ribs to start. They were well cooked but the sauce and seasoning wasn't very flavorful. I then moved on to quesabirria tacos. They didn't have enough cheese on the outside (though a ton inside) so they were limp and falling apart rather than being crispy like I'd expect. The meat was tender but under seasoned. Same with the rice- it was well cooked but like they'd forgotten to season it. While I was there, I got the pollo al fuego to go. The portion was really small and it was packed so it couldn't be reheated- it was on tinfoil and guacamole was placed right into the chicken and sauce. The flavors were similarly bland. I've known a few people who have raved about Copal so perhaps it was an off day. I'll give it another shot but this first impression wasn't memorable.

One of the few times I felt like I was let down by my fellow Yelpers.. hopefully mine was a one-off experience. There were only five other people in the restaurant where I arrived, but I chalked it up to the fact that I was there early just before 5 PM. Seated promptly, warm chips and two incredible salsa were delivered to my table. That white salsa whatever that is that's pure Gould! I could eat a gallon of that! In the recommendation of my server, I ordered the Pastel Azteca- described as Layers of homemade tortillas, tomatillos, rajas, cheese, and chicken then baked. The flavors were good, but I don't know when it was "baked" ... the dish was served at room temperature.. Even the side of beans... too thin - almost soup like, and not even warm. It looked good, but a big disappointment. Asked for my check, and after several minutes finally walked to the front. My server, the bartender and another server were having a great visit at the bar. Won't be back.

Great food! Pastel Azteca was amazing, good Birria, a decent whole cauliflower dish. Good portions for the price too. Service was good right until the food dropped, then we never saw a server again. Had to hunt them down for to-go boxes and to pay, so that part was disappointing. Still, I'd definitely go back for that Azteca.

Beautiful atmosphere with lots of color and eye-catching décor. We started with the queso fundido with chorizo--so good--and ordered the Pizza Norteña, half carne asada and half mushrooms. Both sides were really delicious. Chips and salsa were solid; the chips tasted a little stale but still okay. The elote ice cream was interesting--tasted like vanilla ice cream shaped like corn on the cob to me, but my wife swears she could actually taste the corn.

Great service from Paris. Food was magnificent. It started out right with the cilantro like dipping sauce. That's addicting! Delicious chips and salsa. Had the fundido with pork belly and tortilla soup and washed it down with the tamarindo tequila drink. Aaaahmazing! Vibrant ambiance to go with the vibrant flavors. Must try!

For being busy with a wedding group the staff did an amazing job! Came here for lunch with co workers as we ended up in Tucson. I got the flautas banadas with no onions or crema and a side of French fries. I believe it was Paris that helped us and she was super sweet and attentive. She did apologize for the wait but it was not bad at all. I came with 4 other co workers and w3 had a great time chatting and eating our appetizers. I enjoyed my good as did everyone else. I would recommend checking it out! Its very pink and pretty and vibrant!

At first sight the restaurant is current trend, a lot of instagram photo opportunities. I will admit unfortunately it had a not so pleasant smell in the restaurant. The food thankfully was delicious! The bartender girl kept checking on us making sure we were topped off.

Very good food, and the staff was so friendly. We got there at 3 just in time for Happy Hour, $2 off appetizers and drinks. We had the ribeye aguachili and it was amazing the flavors were so good. Then we had the ceviche tostada trio, wow ceviche on fried shrimp so awesome, never eating tostadas any other way. LOL We had a few margaritas and a Paloma that were nice and strong. Such a great spot, definitely show them your love.

After two trips to Copal I can tell you this much- the service leaves much to be desired but what's lacking in service is made up for in flavor. Both times we have gone was for an early lunch and it was what one would say "slow" - only 2 or 3 other tables. We had to ask about our drinks multiple times. But once they came they were delicious. The margarita flight is a great value and let's you try 4 flavors. The tostadas bandañas were the perfect portion size for lunch and the esquites as delicious!!! The queso fundido hits the spot - even without a protein. The elote ribs are also a great starter. Sadly they haven't had the barrio bread either time but I look forward to it. For dessert the elote ice cream is sometime unique in both taste and presentation. The gooey cake is gooey and incredible. The vibe inside is fun and full of neon and murals! There is an outdoor pet friendly grassy spot and seating with oversized games which is fun! Good spot for food but definitely be ready to check on your plates and drinks.

Tasty spot for dinner if you're looking for a different/modern take on Mexican food on the east side of town. We've been twice and have enjoyed our meals both times. Instead of chips, meals start with chicharrones which are a nice twist and not too heavy. Thoughts on what we've tried: - Elote ribs: Good, but as other reviews have mentioned, a bit difficult to eat (can get messy). - Queso fundido: We added pork belly, good for sharing, on the heavier side for appetizers but the melty cheesy goodness with the saltiness of the pork belly went so well together. - Ribeye Aguachile: Even though it's an appetizer, I got it as my entree at the staff's recommendation - it was worth it! My favorite dish we've had at Copal so far. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, and the tatemado salsa had a wonderful smoky flavor. - Ribeye Pa-mi: The rib-eye was also cooked perfectly, but prefer the aguachile preparation (above). - Pollo al Fuego: The chicken was tender; the adobo sauce is flavorful and the chicharrones and mushroom topping added a nice texture to the dish. Overall, satisfying meals though a bit on the pricey side, but would definitely go back.

I had the most amazing experience at Copal contemporary Mexican restaurant. Talk about aesthetically pleasing! This spot is absolutely darling and a designer's dream! Every inch is Instagramable! We really enjoyed our food. The pastel Azteca has the best flavor, very authentic. Our server Alexis was very friendly and helped guide us through the menu. Alex helped us with craft cocktails and was very personable. We also got to meet mom, Beatrice who is an angel and helped design the restaurant. Lots of inside and outside seating.

We came at the beginning of lunch and the restaurant was empty for the duration of our visit. The waiter was great, super friendly and attentive. One of our dishes was barely lukewarm but they quickly remedied this and discounted the entree. Overall it was a good experience.

We stopped here on a whim and were not disappointed! The service was friendly and the food was incredible. We loved the decor, too. The chips and salsa were yummy! They had a chips had a nice kick to them thanks to a house made spice sprinkled on them, which worked nicely with the créma they were served with. We also enjoyed the queso fundido, birria tacos, and flautas. Everything was 10/10 would absolutely eat here again.

First the ambiance is cool, a great vibe. The service was attentive and friendly. Everything was fast but it was mostly empty. The only problem was that they delivered the app with the meal. They start you off with pork rinds and two amazing sauces, I'd have that lime habenero sauce everyday. They brought their fantastic seasoned chips because my wife isn't down for pork rinds. We got the taco trio app with crispy pork belly, mushrooms, and burria. They were all great! Then we had their smashburger it was good but could've used a little more seasoning so I put that lime sauce on it and made it killer. We also had a Margherita and their Cuba Libre, both great, so much so I had 2. And to wrap things up we had their tasty gooey butter cake. We were stuffed and very satisfied at the end. We will be back for sure.

One of the best meals in Tucson! Eastsiders come check out this place! The decor is bright and fun and very unique. The uniqueness doesn't end there as their menu follows the same vibe. There are so many unique dishes to choose from. I tried the Pastel Azteca - which consists of grilled tortillas layered with chicken, peppers, cheese, and amazingness! I've never tasted a flavor profile like this. It is baked and I thought it might have the texture of lasagna, but it doesn't - it's somehow crispy and soft at the same time - it's magical! Trust me, just order it! The service was amazing - I was with a friend and we were so busy chatting and they didn't mind us taking extra time to order - they answered all of our menu questions and helped us with our selections with enthusiasm. This place will be on my east side rotation on the regular!

Came here on a Friday evening. Our bartender Josue was absolutely amazing! Give Josue a raise! He was so pleasant, so helpful with the menu, answered all of my questions about the restaurant, and even gave some great recommendations. I ordered the quesabirria tacos (came with the traditional broth dip, and a delicious cheesy dip). I had The Elote ribs (yum!) . And Josue made me two cocktails that were absolutely delicious. I definitely plan to come back and try some other things on the menu.

Bro date weekend we hit up the Copal! The place is very well decorated inside. We're told everything is scratch made. The draft beers were excellent even though the Buenavesa was tapped out. First was queso fundido with chorizo excellent, followed by elote ribs super tasty! The Tamarindo is home made and makes the margarita sing! Then the Camarones in garlic and ceviche tostadas! Words can't describe them just look at the pictures then treat your pallet. All the wait staff were fun to be with and make the place lively. First chance you get stop in for some neat drinks and tasty vittles!

Went here Friday night around 8pmwith my husband and was really pleased by the unique menu and moody vibrant colors. I was shocked it was so empty on a Friday evening. I was sad to see Pita jungle leave this location a while back and didn't care much for the restaurant that came after, but this one, I feel could be a good thing for east Tucson. The service we received was very caring and attentive. I ordered a lavender fizz I think it was called and I loved that our server didn't wait for me to tell her if I liked the drink or not, she asked and insisted on honesty. When I told her it wasn't my cup of tea, she did her best to rectify it. I also order the caldo de queso soup with chicken and loved it. It was both me and my husband's favorite thing we tried. In addition to that, he got the pastel azteca and I got the ribeye pa-mi. He didn't love the flavors of his order though I thought it was good. I also took a chance with the ribeye dish, not being a steak person. I thought it would be more flavorful and though the sauce in it was yummy, it was.. a lot. And not enough to always mask the flavor I wanted more of from the beef. The fries were good though. A cool thing about this restaurant is that they give you chicharrones w/ 2 awesome sauces upon being seated. I thought this was so different and both dips were so good. Only thing is that they were SOO incredibly crunchy, one would even argue too crunchy. Never had them that hard. If they took it down a notch, it'd be perfect.. at least to me lol! I could t leave without trying the elite ice cream which is exactly as described, but also pretty frozen and hard. Still edible though! The chocolate and strawberries were a nice touch and there was actually bits of corn which was interesting lol. Really cool to try. All in all I enjoyed the restaurant and would love to try more of their entrees. Yes it's a little on the pricier side, but portions were pretty big and for the service and value, I'd say it's worth it!

Came here for the husbands birthday on a Friday with family. Atmosphere is fun and colorful inside and out of the resturant. Nice patio too. We were seated inside. Tried the corn ribs which were tasty. Chips and salsa were good too. Our server was attentive and answered our questions we had about the menu. Great customer service skills. Everyone at the table enjoyed their entrees and said they wanted to come back. The style is Contemporary Mexican cuisine. We will be back

My partner and I went to Copal one evening when neither of us felt like cooking. We were greeted and seated promptly next to the bar area. Copal has a fun vibe, and they had live music the night we were there. We could converse over it, which is something I appreciate. We were excited to see quite a few vegan and gluten free options in the menu. We started with elote ribs, which were amazing! Loved the tajin, cilantro and queso fresco topping. We then ordered the queso fundido. It was a bit salty, and we could have used a few more tortillas, but it was both tasty and filling. Finally, we got the cauliflor trufada that was prepared in a way that tasted too much like meat to me, but my partner liked it. We definitely will be back for the elote ribs and to try some of the other menu options.

Visited Copal for happy hour this week and had a lovely experience. I very much enjoyed the watermelon and cucumber jalapeño margaritas, and the Pizza Norteña was perfect to share. We ordered half birria, half care asada, and both were delicious. The space is light and airy, with fun decor and a friendly staff. I'll definitely be back.

If the prices were more reasonable this would be a solid 4 stars or more. This for me just inches into 4 stars, barely. This was a nice stop. A little expensive. The cocktails were amazing. Enjoyed a happy hour. Ordered shrimp (Camarones Al Ajillo). I felt the shrimp a little small for the price. Enjoyed the Queso Fundido with pork belly. Very nice. Pork belly was delicious and the queso was nicely cooked. Had a chicken dish marinated in our house adobo, served with tortillas, pickled onion, and guacamole and micro green. It was nice. Beautifully plated. Rice was ok. All very enjoyable. Not spectacular but enjoyable. I did not like the prices. $26 for very little chicken. So I will have to reflect on returning because of the prices.

More people need to discover this place! The menu is interesting, with vegetarian options, the food is utterly delicious (the sauces -- oh my!) and service is always friendly and professional. The seasoned chips come with two salsas, which are both tasty. The Elote Ribs - amazing! Vegetarian options include tacos made with roasted mushrooms, jackfruit birria or jamaica. The Coliflor is a generous serving, beautifully seasoned, the Chimichanga Ahogada with roasted mushrooms is spicy (and you'll need a take-out box) and the Burrito with Jackfruit Birria is also worth the trip.

I decided to try this place out on Saturday afternoon. Pleasant open atmosphere with a nice large full bar area. Seats at the bar were pretty tight. service was prompt at the bar. I started with a Jack and Coke with Chips and salsa. Chips were tasty so I tried their signature Rajas dip appetizer with heavy cream, layer of cheese, and poblano slices mixed in. it was kinda bland so mixed in the salsa. The appetizer took lil bit to get from kitchen, apparently restaurant was short staffed for number custOmer's this day. I was reassured Dinner staffing is better. Definitely worth a stop in and try the food.

Checked this place out primarily for the karaoke on a Thursday night. My friend and I sat outside and tried their margarita flight. I have to say, they had generous portions, and when one was not to our liking, they kindly allowed us to try another flavor. I'd highly recommend a visit just for that! The chips are also delicious and have a bit of spice on them so they aren't just plain. I wasn't too hungry this evening so I tried their elote ice cream. It was okay -- nothing that stood out too much. It was kind of a small portion for the price but it was good enough for me to finish all of! My friend got a mushroom enchilada which I had a bite of and it was tasty. All in all I'd be willing to try it again just to try some different dishes. The menu has variety and it would be worth checking some other things out. The karaoke was fun and the outdoor area has large games as well. Good for a friends' night out!

The vibes, super fun. I love the neon signs and colors. The margarita flights are also super good as well as all of the appetizers. There is a soup that other I was with wasn't a fan of, extremely salty was the complaint. Also the service was rather slow but maybe it's because the place is new!

Food was excellent presentation was beautiful Service was okay place was super slow and we waited a very long time to get order taken and served although the waitress was super sweet Ambiance was nice very very clean and super organized The bar was well stocked

The seemingly ungrateful, inattentive manager/owner's attitude towards my visiting family was obvious from the moment we entered. Not once did he smile, nor genuinely engage with our group. When we simply asked for salt he answered over his shoulder while walking away from us that "he's bringing it." He was referring to our waiter. Señor "boss-man," we will not return to this establishment, although when you catered our school function, the food was delicioso. Gracias to the attentive, friendly waiter that attended to us! We saw how well you worked and tried your best to meet our needs. God bless you! You will go far, but Mr. manager, you need to smile at all of your customers, not just los güeros.

What a beautiful place to enjoy a delicious meal. We were the only ones in the restaurant for lunch which was sad. That being said, the service was wonderful. Our server said that they may start closing on Mondays since it was that slow and many Mexican restaurants are closed on Mondays. We were offered chicharones and salsa when we sat down but since we don't eat pork they brought chips and three types of salsa; red, green and white. All were fantastic. We both ordered tortilla soup which is vegetarian but we added chicken for the protein. Excellent soup. For dessert we split a flan. That was disappointing to me. Maybe it was a regional recipe. I personally like my flan to be more on the creamy side. This was just ok. All in all, it is worth a return visit.

Gave it a second try.... disappointing service, food not worth the money, never order the bone marrow (empty bone), and won't be back.

We had dinner at the Copal tonight. Couple of cocktails, and appetizer and a couple of entrees. First time dining there and we were looking forward to it. Staff was friendly polite and attentive. The resterant was clean and presented well. The atmosphere was relaxed and laid back. Now the issue - The price point on the menu items were what you would expect for a higher end dining experience. The speed of the service and the portion sizes just did not match the premium pricing. Both the entrees came out warm, not hot. My entree, Pollo la Fuego, was three small chicken thighs with three slices of radishes, three slices of carrots, a pinch of micro greens, some guacamole under the thighs and a sauce covering the plate all for $25. The dish just did not justify the price and the almost room temp serving state definately made it fall flat. All and all we were just sadly disappointed by a resterant that we had been looking forward to enjoying. We will not be returning or referring anyone.

We came to Copal for lunch with a group of 10. Our waitress Alexis was fantastic--very welcoming and had the table all prepared for us. The decor is a cool "Mexi contemporary" and the food was good, not great but good in a city full of outstanding Mexican restaurants. It was surprisingly quiet for lunch. The restaurant is out of the way and a bit hard to find so I'm wondering if that is the reason.

Ordered a quick taco to try out there food and I am not disappointed. Food was fresh, hot, and although there were only 2 pieces of shrimp per taco, when adding the condiments which included the pics, rice, chopped white onion, & cilantro, it was quite filling! Nice portions on the sides! I will definitely be returning for a sit down visit to try out more of the menu

I discovered this new restaurant near the hotel I was staying at. What a find! They just celebrated their 1 year anniversary. Great ambiance, full and friendly bar and a terrific Menu. I had the Smash Burger mexican style. What a treat. Prices are reasonable. Staff and service is first class!

Everything was very flavorful. The service was exceptional. The decor was impressive and relaxing. A bit on the pricey side, but you pay for quality I guess. The bar looks like a great spot for a date. Definitely recommend this place!

First time, good experience. Service was really good we came for early happy hour and our server was fast and friendly. Food was good, happy hour prices helped. Favorite thing that's not pictured is the Esquites - corn and peppers in cream sauce.. delish! Also enjoyed my $5 Mexican candy shot, hadn't seen it this way before! I like what they've done with the interior of this space. It's very bright and colorful with cool lights and neon signs. Also enjoyed the photo op flower wall outsidenice to try something new .

Really nice lunch today with the wife...got the Mexican Pizza special which is more like a heavy cheese crisp than a pizza, but wholly cow it was tasty. Carne Asada & delicious marinated mushrooms along with all sorts of tasty goodies. The roasted chile salsa was amazing as well. Can't wait to go back & try some more of their food! Come check out this great new spot in the Williams Center!

Terribly racist and uncomfortable. I only got queso and they made the entire experience so depressing and lackluster. Like someone else said, way too expensive menu items for such a low tier place. They might wanna be expensive just to try to pay off their little decorations and renovations, but they need to figure out some other way because this is not worth that much money like somebody else said. I will never come back here nor would I ever tell anybody to eat here if anything I would tell people to stay far away from somewhere like this

We finally made to Copal for supper last night and can't wait to go back again. I love the decor and vibrant colors although the classic rock music really did not go with the ambiance. We went for early supper at around 4:30 PM and our server seemed to be bartending as well as waiting tables and she did a wonderful job. She was friendly and attentive. The house made chips were tasty, as was the salsa Verde. We weren't fans of the crema. Barrio bread was perfection. We did not care for the poblano butter though, felt it was just meh. I got the Pastel Azteca and it was delicious! It was so good it will be hard for me to try anything else there when we go back! It was plated beautifully as well, wish I would have taken a picture. Hubster got the flautas banadas. He enjoyed them, I thought the chicken inside seemed a little dry personally. I regret not saving room for dessert!

Ambiance was vibrant. The service from our waitress named Paris was WONDERFUL!!! The food was amazing starting with appetizers of corn ribs smothered in cojita cheese, the fundida cheese with mushrooms and even chips and salsa are homemade fresh every day!!! Then a grilled salad with shrimp soaked in the most yummy butter sauce...best salad I ever had!!!

What an awesome experience and I do t say this lightly! I value great customer service and they went above and beyond! Everyone was just amazing! From opening the front door and greeting us to the end! Bar tender was to die for, ordering was a breeze over cocktails, (very well made and yummy)! The Elote ribs are a must! You just have to order these! The queso fundido was delicious and well made. Truly enjoyed every single bite! Moving on to the main event. Hubs got the hamburger and it was fantastic, tasty, juicy and delicious! I ordered the pastel azteca and it was upper tarty and well made. Tortillas were nice and crispy bringing on some texture. Will definitely return and enjoy the place! Clean and very well managed!

I stopped in with friends after wine tasting at George Wine Shop, otherwise we def. would have had a flight of margaritas! We just had some appetizers - the elote ribs, the warm barrio bread with chili butter - which was just to die for, caldo de queso, and queso fundito - all were excellent, the elote ribs were difficult to eat, so it really just a couple of bites of corn, but we loved and we saw the margarita flights coming out, and definitely want to try them next time! The interior i super cute, and service was very good! The food is from all different regions of Mexico!

It's a fun and brightly decorated interior, located in the old The Dutch. It's still their soft opening so they still have a few kinks to work out. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. The food was good, but the tortilla in my Pastel Azteca couldn't even be cut through the bottom layer. My family really enjoyed the large Chapo Burger. We also ordered blended margaritas and was told there was no blender and their grand opening is coming soon. The server was nice and was trying, but our interactions were awkward. Once the blender arrives and some more targeted training of servers, I feel they will do really well.

Amazing food! So beautiful and delicious. Second time here and will go back. Sauces are rich tasting, food is beautifully presented.

Four of us dined at Copal Friday early Friday [4/4] evening. Our seating location was next to a very "loud" foursome - obviously having a good time. Yet noisy enough to drown out the conversation[s] we were trying to have. the server [according to the receipt] was "caro v"; she tried her best but she was overwelmed because it seemed to me that the wait-staff was undermanned. Our food, which included Barrio bread, Quesbirra and rice along with Tortilla soup and wine, was excellent.

Lucky find for delicious, fresh, real deal Mexican food. Copal had a "soft grand opening this week before it's GRAND RE OPENING next week. What superb authentic Mexican dishes. We enjoyed the shrimp and carne asada taco plates. And the freshly made GUACAMOLE is a must por favor!! Russ, the head bartender was also our waiter and he made our first time visit super fun. It really is "Food to Die For." Margarita taster? We loved the Tamarindo!!!!!

This is the second time we've been here and both times were great. The first time we went with my mother who uses a rolling walker. Most staff have no idea what to do about it and the chairs. The hostess knew exactly what to do. She gave my mother the option of the chair or her walker and then moved the chair right out of the way. No problem. Most people just stand there with the chair not knowing what to do as they look back and forth between the chair and the walker. She gave my mother plenty of time to get settled and never tried to yank anything away from her. Tonight, we were mother free, and our server tonight was Paris. Paris is great. She was very patient with my indecisive husband. The staff there want to make sure you enjoy what you order. Paris was willing to take the time to make recommendations and explain the menu. The food was great both times. It's different, interesting (in a good way), and beautiful. I usually smirk at people who have to take pictures of their food before eating, but my lavender Collins was so impressive I had to. I even took pictures of our dessert and sent it to my friends. I saw several other dishes I want to try, so we'll definitely be going back.

Immediately greeted upon entering around 1pm on this Saturday afternoon. I had a break from work so I thought I'd give it a try. I ordered a Taco combo: pork belly, jackfruit birria and grilled shrimp with a side of cilantro rice. They were all sub par but the jackfruit was greasy, really oily like, not sure what that was about. Even red onion, cilantro and lime didn't enhance any flavors. I also had Jamaica Lemonade and it was delicious, not too sweet. It was a nice quick lunch but I wasn't wowed. The dining room was pretty empty but there were 3-4 others at the bar upon entering. A large party came in while I was eating but they were seated in the dining area. The restroom was clean and stocked.
