    Came here for a celebration of life for my great uncle who loved tacos. I love that they have both…read moreCuban and Mexican dishes and the restaurant is spacious. We had a very long table and the servers were great in getting our orders. I ordered the Horchata in the lunch special, Lechon asado. The Horchata was delicious and not too sweet, which was great. I really liked my lechon asado. It was a good portion but the one thing is my plantains were pretty burned. I also got to try some of my mom's tacos. And those were yummy as well. Would come back!

And as I'd been craving a Mexican style shrimp cocktail, that's what I ordered from their regular menu. They start you out with chips and a slightly spicy salsa. I'm not sure why this combo is always addictive -- but we were hungry. My husband got ground beef for his burrito. It was jam packed -- all inside the flour tortilla -- with meat, rice, red beans, lettuce, pico, sour cream, and cheese. He said it was very good. My "cocktail" was excellent and refreshing. Tons of fresh delicious shrimp in a tomato/ketchup based sauce with pico and cilantro. Slices of ripe avocado were layered on top. I added a bit of sugar to cut the acid -- as I do to most tomato based dishes. I'd been craving this dish and was totally satisfied and more. We were too full for dessert, but next time I'd like to try their flan. We had good service. We will return.

The flavors were rich, comforting, and straight-up authentic. You can taste the love in that food. And let's talk portions... they are NOT playing with you. I had enough leftovers to run it back for dinner later, and it still tasted just as good! The service? Super attentive and welcoming--exactly what you want when you're trying to sit, relax, and enjoy a good meal. And the decor is such a vibe--cute, cozy, and full of personality. Even the restroom had a unique touch... a big pot turned into a sink! Like... come on, that's creative Will I be back? Oh absolutely. Probably next month though, because it's about an hour drive for me--but listen... it's worth it. If you're ever in the area and craving real, authentic Dominican food... don't even think twice. Just go.

The Croquettas Jamon Cubanas were as tasty as we're used to, and the mayonnaise-based sauce was nice and smooth. Unfortunately, the Empanadas De Picadillo have changed, and not for the better. Our Cubano Sandwich wasn't quite as good as in the past - - the pork was a bit overcooked and dry. Everything else was perfect. Our Margaritas were nice and refreshing, as always. Our server, Bryan, was terrific. His suggestions were helpful and his service attentive. Copacabana is light and airy - very comfortable. We sat outside on their large patio. Despite being right on Main Street, there was no "road noise" and it is well lit and very inviting.

They recently tweaked menu but not for the better. The empanada filling has a different seasoning and texture than it did before but was accompanied by a delicious chimichurri sauce. The pork in the Cuban sandwich was dry and lacked flavor. I'm happy to report that the croquetas served with a mayo sauce were delicious as always. My margarita was weak but had good flavor. The restaurant is charming with a good Latin vibe and a spacious outdoor patio.

I only got one…read moretaco because we came from another dinner, this was just a night cap because it's how I roll. You order at the counter and go seat yourself anywhere. They'll bring your tacos out to you. I got the pescadito taco. The fish has a nice and crisp batter, it stayed light and wasn't too oily. The fish was super flakey and moist. Everything on this taco worked so well together. The pickled red onion helps cut through the richness of the guac and fattiness of the batter on the fish. The pineapple is a burst of freshness and sweetness that live a up the whole thing while also balancing sharpness from the onion. If you can here hungry, you're probably putting away 4 tacos. If you are a normal functioning human and don't eat like it's your last meal, 2-3 will probably be good. So you're looking at $14-$28 on food. For me, on an empty stomach, this would be pushing $30 for tacos which IMO is a bit steep (and let's be honest, if I'm that hungry I might make a bad decision and get more than 4). That said, it was really good. I wish they had some combo options though 3 for $16, 4 for $20 etc.
