Nice drinks, huge portions. We ordered 3 mains for 3 people and weren't able to finish at all.
Highly recommended sit down Mexican restaurant that specializes in Mezcal, Mezcal cocktails, and Mexican plates with Mole as well as traditional staples. If you like Mezcal or Mole Sauce or both, HIGHLY recommend you make the trip to visit this place. I’ve been passing by this place for years and never stopped. I’ll be stopping much more frequently now.They have outdoor and indoor seating, plenty of parking, clean restrooms, the tables are well distanced, they have a full bar with a TON of selections, and they have great service. Not only was everyone nice - but the service was incredibly fast.Food recommendations, I highly recommend the margarita and order it traditional with Mezcal. Mezcal has a Smokey flavor to it, so if you’re not into that, opt for tequila. Also, the taco plate was good. Their mole plates are renowned for the area and worth trying as well.
Was passing through Santa Cruz on our way back to SJ in need of an upscale Father's Day destination. Great service, delicious flavours and tasty mezcals. Really enjoyed the Tlayuda plate and the estafado moles.
Server was borderline surly. Mole sauce tasted burnt and ribs were fair. Overall I was less Than impressed. Not going back seems correct choice.
Sit at the bar, be adventurous in your cocktail selection and order the tlayuda. Great atmosphere- the owner was bartending so I got a custom education on Oaxacan street food and how to eat the Tlayuda. Innovative and unique cocktails with a great bottle list. I will definitely be back.
We loved this place! I wish I went here sooner. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated and has a fun and welcoming feeling. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The coctails were good, and the food was amazing! We got the Torta and Mole burritos.
I give it 2 stars because the facilities are nice. The quality of the food is the lowest ??????. I had never been so disappointed in trying Mexican food. ♨️?
I have been wanting to come to copal for a while now, I have heard really good things about it.They have a nice selection of cocktails and a few good beers on tap as well. I know they have a whole mezcal bar but I didn't do that today.The service was very fast and friendly, the food was delicious and felt home made and authentic. Definitely a spot that I will come back to.I came here around lunchtime on a Sunday. They were busy but we sat down right away and had 0 delays. 5 stars, good spot.
Truly authentic, Oaxacan cuisine!! I have wished for tlayudas, mole on tamales de platanos, and yes even chapulinas con limon. This place has it all. So much more than having " Mexican" cuisine. Whether you are an experienced Oaxacan cuisine expert or new to this style of food, this is a MUST try food for you and your family. Beautiful indoor and outdoor seating with nods to the art and culture of Oaxaca, Oaxaca México.
I'll be back and can't wait. You'd expect a great bday, check. Great food, check. But the staff was incredible and knows the menu and made great recommendations including food, drinks and mescal. Great dinner. Waiter said they have spicy Mexican hot chocolate for their weekend brunch. ?
