Service: Angelo the bartender was top notch. Attentive and very knowledgeable. My brother and I enjoyed him describing his plans for infused liquors and upcoming drink specials. I had a Fall Mule that was infused with chai and cinnamon- like fall in a cup! The caipirinha was a refreshing change from my usual margarita. Ceviche was fresh and I liked the corn nuts- unexpected and nice texture. Plantain chips and fried pork belly took the guacamole to another level. The empanada trio- all 3 flavors were great. Flaky crust. Will absolutely get again. Ambience- slow on a Tuesday at 6 pm but was picking up when we left at 7. Plenty of tables inside and out. Nice but casual setting. read more

1. Service - hostess, our waiter Victor, and the owner were all so nice. They were all kind and friendly. Victor was so attentive and he took good care of us. Ask for him if you ever go there. This is an A-La-Carte restaurant, so you order and pay at the table. 2. Price - inexpensive, but can add up. It's $10-$22 per tapas. For a family of 5, we had about 7 different tapas. 3. Ambiance - hip, cute, and cozy. Definitely a great place to bring a date, meet up friends, and even a family meal. Dress code here is casual, however most people here are dressed pretty nice for a Friday evening. There is loud Latino music that puts you in a party mood. This place is fun with good vibes. 4. Food - our meal was delicious, I highly recommend their STEAK A LA PLANCHA and their PATATAS BRAVAS. 5. Cleanliness - this place is well managed in both dining area and restrooms. OVERALL - I would definitely return. We had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant if you want some Spanish style food. read more

Food was good, service was great, drinks were okay... I loved the live music! Great talent! Was captivated by the screens playing different hires of Brazil, and the other, random countries. Food was a great blend. Ordered BBQ Brisket tacos, Street corn tostadas and Shrimp Al ajillo... zero complaints!! Had a great time, will def return read more

This is a really nice spot in the Vintage to unwind over some post-work drinks and tapas. Service was incredibly friendly; our waiter and other restaurant employees checked on us throughout the night. Seating is cozy but felt a little cramped when tables started filling up throughout the evening. Food was delicious! My friend and I split several different tapas. - Baked Goat Cheese: As a lover of goat cheese, this was my favorite item here. The goat cheese is whipped into a warm, fluffy dip that I could honestly eat everyday. - Patatas Bravas: Crispy, classic, and flavorful- can't go wrong with an order of these - Spanish Croquetas: Pleasant mix of flavors and textures - Copa Burger Sliders: Came in a few different varieties with one including avocado, another with goat cheese, and another sweet and savory option that I think had some fig in it? They were all delicious, so it depends on your preference. You can also request all of them to be the same flavor; the staff said they were pretty open to mixing and matching flavors as needed Will definitely be back to try more of the many other things they have on the menu. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

Nothing short of pleasant. I've been here quite a few times and from the first visit it's always been a hit. Consistent with food. Tapas are a great portion -- not your ordinary small plates leaving you hungry. They also have larger plates. Ambiance is on 1000%. I feel like I'm on a tropical vacation somewhere. The music is chill (they have live music Friday and Saturday). The cocktails are spectacular -- they put a lot of effort into creating a five start experience. One of my new favorite local spots! read more

My husband and I went here for the first time on a Sunday in March. What a lovely gem! It's such a cute place and we were so surprised at the lack of patrons from how good both the food and service was. We had the baked goat cheese, empanadas, and mussels, sat outside and with the fountain the ambiance was amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant and we want to see it thrive! read more

Stopped in for a friend's birthday. Beautifully decorated & very comfortable vibe. The head cook dropped by the table to extend an offer for feedback. She said they are still working through the menu and really want to exceed expectations. She asked for honest feedback if anything was less than outstanding. She was authentic & it was refreshing to hear - They want to succeed. Most at our table ordered two tapas (a couple ordered 3) plus two+ drinks - this ended up being too much food & consequently, pretty darn wxpenaice for a girl's night out. Don't make our mistake - start with one tapa per person if with a large group (or 1.5 at most - 2 was too much) . The items are very shareable. We ordered too much which in turn drove the bill up quickly. Tapas are tricky because everyone wants to try more than one. It would be nice to see a few more options in the $10-12 range in general. I had one of the best salads I have had in a long while. The warm grilled orange was delightful & with the cheese, very filling. I would happily go back for lunch with or without friends for that salad alone. On the shrimp, they about $3.50 per shrimp. When I go out, I am usually looking for a wow factor - something I couldn't do just as easily at home for less. These were well cooked, garlicky & tasty but didn't really have a unique flavor element. While I appreciate the menu had a lighter option, in my opinion, I would not order the shrimp again. Again, they were good so others may think the value was there. For me & my budget, a better location for smaller groups. When drinks are flowing, it's challenging to manage to a budget in a large group. read more

TAPAS and AMAZING COCKTAILS Beautiful restaurant! I love the light fixtures. Simple and navigable layout. Love the booths and the colors they chose are appealing. The bar is also eye catching.

Definitely recommend the Patatas Bravas (Potatoes with tomato sauce) The Croquetas were pretty good too! Very tasty , reminds me of breakfast! I also got a chance to try their Carne Empanada. Cheesy and well seasoned. Hefty on the meat as well! They also have Fresh guacamole! There is so much more to try!

Ambiance: Well-decorated Latin restaurant in Vintage Park with a beautiful & airy patio area as well as an impressive interior bar & dining area. Perfect spot for a night out, date, upscale lunch, or any occasion! The ceviche was the best I have ever had - absolutely love that it is served in a shell! Highly recommend the potatas bravas as well as the queso. The skewers were delicious for the main course and I loved the flan for dessert! Ample free parking available in the Vintage Park area. Friendly & fast service - Victor was incredibly knowledgeable about the dishes! Expansive menu and delicious cocktails. I will have to go back to try the wines! 10/10 dining experience read more

Our first trip to this stylish Tapas restaurant was for a Valentine's Day lunch (beat the crowds!). We loved it and will plan to go again. We shared two tapas, the Black and Blue Tatamado, which was like a beef ceviche. Full of great flavors and the meat was sliced and super tender. We also shared the Brussels and Belly (pork belly) which was a great combo of Smokey and sweet. Recommend both dishes. We splurged on dessert and the special chocolate mousse cake was very good. Angelo, the bartender, served us and he was great. We overheard him telling other diners that he could personalize cocktails and was great at making mocktails. We will give his mocktails a spin next time. I really wish more restaurants would invest in non alcoholic drink menus. read more

Friend of mine introduced me to this place for a girl's night out. They just opened about a month ago or so, so it was nice to see how put together they were. So excited to have a Carribean/Latin flair restaurant in the Vintage. As soon as we walked in I felt the place had a whole vibe of its own. We were greeted promptly and the greeters were both very friendly. We sat at a table near the bar and the whole place has a Cuban style with the bartenders in Havana style shirts & hats. We ordered a couple of drinks each and all of them were delicious. My friend tried prosecco made with strawberries (which she loved) & I had a mojito and a Cuban themed old fashioned made with a banana rum in lieu of bourbon and orange bitters (it was sooooo good!). For food, we tried the empanadas and Argentinan skewers. The seasoning was on point! For dessert, we split the flan and it had just the right amount of creaminess and balanced flavors. My only call-out is that the manager was greeting all the tables, but never stopped at ours, but perhaps it was an oversight as they were pretty busy. I plan on coming back and trying more items on their menu as they really understand what sazon in food really means. read more

Food was delicious, service was incredible, and loved the ambiance. Went on a Saturday night and they had a fantastic live musician, he played fun songs, but had the volume set just right where you could still easily talk to the people at your table. I seriously cannot recommend this place strongly enough. read more

A hidden gem in The Vintage! This cozy spot offers a consistently great experience. The bartender is always welcoming and knowledgeable, often suggesting fresh and creative wine or cocktail options. What really stands out is their thoughtful food pairing recommendations--they truly enhance the overall dining experience. Although the restaurant is on the smaller side, it has a lot of charm. There's both indoor seating and a lovely patio area, perfect for when the weather is more comfortable. Whether you're stopping in for a drink or a full meal, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

Talk about a hidden gem. This place is tucked away, but a delight when found. The staff, ambiance and presentation was on point. I came for a private event, but everything was delicious. My favorite was the Patatas Bravas that came with garlic aioli sauce. The beef empanadas were very delicious and better than the chicken. Perfect for a girls dinner or a date night. read more

This is the second time my husband and I have been to this restaurant and we have loved every dish we've gotten! This time we got the empanada sampler, the Brussels and belly, and the salmon ceviche. When I say every empanada was amazing I'm not kidding. I couldn't pick a favorite. The Brussels were probably the best I've ever had, and the ceviche was so fresh and delicious! The service has been great, they are so friendly and don't hesitate to help you pick out a few items if you are going to share with the table. The overall feel of the restaurant is very chill. They have upbeat music playing all the time, and the aesthetic is really cute. If you're considering this place, we highly recommend! read more

Copa Sips & Latin Tapas is a nice quant place to go for small plates and cocktails. The atmosphere stays true to the Latin theme which is refreshing. Greeted by an outside Host which is foreign to the Vintage Park area but a nice touch. We see this added service in the Galleria or Mid-Town areas. I ordered the Coxinha Croquetas. These were decadent, cheesy, tangy from the red sauce and just enough shredded chicken. However, the bacon was a nice surprise but I would advise the crew to make sure bacon is listed as one of the ingredients to prevent an person who doesn't eat swine from going left on the staff. Next, I ordered the beef empanadas. These were flavored perfectly! The spicy green dipping sauce stole the show, and the cheese pull solidified it. I would have loved if they would have added raisins in the beef mixture as that is a staple to empanadas as I have experienced. You can tell they use fresh ingredients which is nice. The house margarita was good for $10 but it's average for me because I am a Top Shelf Margarita drinker as you all know so it was decent for the price. I have no doubt they could have made an amazing Top Shelf Marg. The staff is very friendly. Try the flavored water! It added another star from me! I Recommend !! read more

Copa was a lively and intimate dining experience! We were visiting from out of town for the weekend and the food here was a major highlight.

So glad we decided to go to Copa! The service was outstanding-Victor is knowledgeable, honest, friendly, and super attentive. Cocktails-Flora was possibly the best drink I've ever had. Created by the in house bartender...the tangy sweet sugar on the rim was the most perfectly balanced. Food-we wanted to try everything but settled on the baked goat cheese, empanadas, and kebabs. All amazing!! Favorite was the steak and goat cheese. Beautiful indoor design and patio in the heart of Vintage. We wanted pretty much everything on the menu and will definitely be back soon! read more

The food was good. I ordered the brussel sprouts and chicken empanadas. I really enjoyed the brussel sprouts but the empanadas cooked have used more flavor. The sauce served with the empanadas took them to the next level. I sat at the bar and the service wasn't that great. The bartender waited on me, was on his phone and not as attentive once I got my food. I did like the ambiance and would go back to try other food on the menu, just won't sit at the bar. read more

We heard about this new restaurant in Vintage Park, so we visited on Saturday night around 6PM. It has only been open for a month or so on the 24th of August. We were welcomed and the restaurant is well laid out with an outdoor seating area, but everyone was sat inside due to the Texas heat. We were served by Sebastian and Tatum at the bar who made our cocktails. Talking to them it appears to be developing a reputation as a go to spot already and gets considerably busier later. A new bar license has been applied for and will extend opening time to 2PM. We order three tapas dishes, the corn tostada, shrimp bunuelo and a pasta dish - they were excellent but the shrimp dish was outstanding. The only downside was the wine list could be more extensive and some wines had sold out. We charged on and ordered an excellent tres leches which was delicious. We met Jorge, the owner, on the way out and had a great conversation. I hope they continue to grow and get their website online. The area needs more restaurants like this and we certainly will be back. read more

The food , wine and service were amazing! This is the type of place we've been craving up here! Will be back soon.

We had the burratta bruschetta and the paella for two. Both were exceptional. The mussels in the paella were cooked perfectly. The garlic confit oil on the bruschetta was delicious. We also had some adult beverages and sampled some infused liquors. Service was top notch. Our server was Victor. Also appreciated chatting with the owner, the bartender, and one of the chefs, Shannon. All around great experience. read more

Stellar food!! Loved the atmosphere as well. Servers were very attentive. Big variety of dishes....all were outstanding.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. Absolutely unacceptable experience. We sat at Copa for 45 minutes without even being greeted--no hello, no water, nothing. We actually set a timer because it was so unbelievable. After 50 minutes, we finally managed to place an order. But even after waiting another hour and a half, we still hadn't received a single dish--not even the salad or ceviche we ordered. At that point, we walked out. Meanwhile, other tables were receiving their food at random times, and the entire service was chaotic and disorganized. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. read more

You must go to Copa! Perfect for a girls lunch/dinner out or a date night! The service was impeccable, but the food- absolutely divine!!
