Modern Mexican with seasonal fare, tequila, masa tortillas



























"Copita co-owner Joanne Weir wrote the book (literally) on tequila, so it’s easy to understand why this petite restaurant stocks such a vast array of agave spirits. Go for chips and salsa to start, fried pork belly tacos served on house-made corn tortillas, and wood-roasted chicken served at an outdoor table in the sun. A house margarita is a must." - Dianne de Guzman


"Chef Joanne Weir’s Mexican restaurant is beloved for the masa tortillas that provide a freshly made underpinning to most dishes. But it’s the extensive 100 percent blue agave tequila list that draws in a curious crowd. Taste a flight of your choice at the bar — it’s especially cozy by the blue and white tile-framed rotisserie towards the back — or stick with a flight of Joanne’s favorites, recommended with an oyster taco or a huitlacoche empanada." - Christina Mueller

"You might think a tapas spot like Copita is best at night when you can let loose with a bottle of wine, a number of glasses of beer, or some sherry. You'd be right. But, stop being so unimaginative, it's great for lunch too. This place has a massive range of well made tapas, it’s all quite reasonably priced, and, regardless of whether you’re stopping in for just a couple of plates, or you plan to stay all day, its tiled interior and big wooden high-top tables, will make you feel like you’re a million miles away from the madness of Soho ." - Oliver Feldman

"I see that Copita Tequileria y Comida in Sausalito has launched a Wednesdays by the Fire dinner series—a monthly rotating three-course menu focused on dishes prepared with the restaurant’s rotisserie; the meal costs $25 per person with a two-person minimum, and this month's menu includes a citrus salad, roasted leg of lamb, and buñuelos for dessert." - Janelle Bitker

"Ring in the new year in Sausalito with Copita’s usual menu plus specials like spit-roasted leg of lamb, lobster tacos, and poblano crab soup. All guests will get a sparkling wine-based welcome cocktail, too. Hours are. 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m." - Janelle Bitker
