The food was tasty and plentiful. The service was excellent, very attentive and great personalities. The ambience looked like authentic Spanish/mediterranean. Very clean, fresh food, kid friendly. The ice tea was very good, no aftertaste. They serve a pink sauce and a hot sauce. It wasn't hot to me lol. Free parking, handicap accessible. Plenty of tables but I noticed they had an almost constant flow of takeout orders. Their food is good, but I have had better. I would definitely give Copacabana of Springhill a try. The locals obviously know good, affordable, lots of food locations. Definitely worth the try. read more

Decent food, just a little too salty. If you're eating in the restaurant, it's kind of small and very warm in there. The service was okay, but some of the people don't speak much English so it's a little difficult. read more

Delicious food and great service. Had great time with my siblings for dinner. Felt right at home

This place is tucked away in the Winn-Dixie plaza. We almost missed it. I am so glad we found it! We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door. Very friendly staff. They seem to keep quite busy with take out orders, so we did have to wait a bit, but not too long. My boyfriend got the Pernil, slow roasted pork, with yellow rice and black beans and plantains. I got the La Canoa with beef, which is a plantain stuffed with beef and cheese. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! Everything was flavored perfectly. So much flavor! And the pork was fall apart delicious! We will definitely be returning to try some of the other dishes! read more

It's alright. But pricey! I am intrigued about the pee odor by the door and inside the restaurant itself. It's very questionable. The food it's alright. Am a Dominican food super fan and have not found the "it" dominican spot here in this county and or any nearby counties or cities.. must be an up north thing where am spoiled by the real flavors I don't seem to find anywhere around here. I thought that being in Florida gets me closer to the real thing. I feel faaaaar away! ‍ read more

I had a Cuban last week and I'm having another one today. It was excellent! I wanted to order the potato thing with the meat inside, but I don't know the name of it! read more

I've been going to this restaurant for 15 years, through several owners, and they still make the best Cuban food in the area. The staff are very friendly and eager to please you. Very good food. read more

Yessssss! Just yes. Food was delicious! Ordered empanadas beef & chicken, mangu, & red snapper. Prices are very fair for quality of food & portion size! Flavor is on point. I'm highly critical on restaurants & this is a true five star spot. Service was great, super friendly! Ambiance is inviting. Will be back again & again. read more

I recently ordered a jibarito sandwich from this place and was so upset by what was served. A jibarito sandwich is normally a whole plantain sliced in half and fried. During frying it is smashed so that one piece is usually 5-6 inches long and 2 1/2-3 inches wide. Then a piece of steak, chicken or pork is placed on it that usually more than covers the plantain. It usually has 3-4 slices of tomato and some lettuce and a sauce made of ketchup and mayo mixed. My sandwich was only 3 inches long with 1 slice of tomato that was larger than the tiny little piece of steak on it. I cut the sandwich in half and one bite later I was left with plantain and tomato. I've eaten these in the city I moved here from and this wasn't even a child's portion. Plus the black beans were very bland as if they were poured out of a can, heated and served. Very disappointed by this meal. read more

Not very impressed. I ordered mofongo plate with carne frita. I waiting 45 minutes for the order to be ready. The mofongo was dry and tasteless the meat was hard and dry. Food is overpriced, portions are small. read more

OMG! You guys! The Empanads son muy fabulous! I haven't had any this good since home in NYC. I'm always in for the Mofongo. Please add that to the delivery list as I was not able to order that for delivery. read more

I am newly out of abdominal surgery, and only allowed to have liquid for my food options. While I was at home resting, my mom stopped in this establishment and asked them about a soup with broth, they said they have it and gave a huge container to my mom. My mom asked them to strain it for her, but they didn't. No big deal, I have a strainer at home. I have to say, this was truly the best broth I have ever, ever had!!!! The savory flavor was just so delicious I wanted more and more of it. I would've had her get 2 if I knew it would be this good. A great big thank you to this wonderful person who made this today, and is such a delicious cook!! read more

Had it delivered, husband had oxtails and I had the cubed pork. Both had black beans and yellow rice. Everything was delicious

Realllllyyyy good. The 3 Empanadas!!!!!! Oh my gosh. I bout passed out. It was soooo good !! The Jibarito Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful!! Definitely recommend read more

Excellent family restaurant. Food was authentic Cuban/Spanish. (This opinion based on over 20 years of dining in Tampa, Miami, other central/ southern Florida Spanish restaurants. ) Service and ambiance were typical of a family style restaurant. Don't be in a rush for lunch; the food is worth the wait. read more

Some of the best spanish/cuban food I've ever eaten. Very reasonabley priced. Been there 3 times within 2 weeks. Love it. Service is also 2nd to none. Awesome staff. My go to place for now on read more

My wife and I are both Puerto Rican and have lived in the area a little over two years. My wife is a great cook, and I have been told by her and others that I'm a good cook too. Yet, we enjoy eating out once a week and also enjoy a good cross-section of different types of food. Copacabana is an excellent place to eat a Spanish meal. Their food is tasty and fresh. The ambience is nice, it's clean and the service whether eating there, or taking out, is excellent. read more

Food was authentic and very tasty. Service was excellent. Ambiance was spot on. Highly recommend. read more

Great place, get there early if you don't want to wait. They have a steady "to go" business going on and get busy. Very kind waitstaff. It might be the best roast pork shoulder I've ever had. And the sides were great. Loved the tostones and the red beans. My wife's whole red snapper was roasted to perfection with great flavor. Def a go to place when in the Spring Hill area. read more

Things seemed to have changed significantly for this restaurant. I ordered to go but went inside to pick up the meals. The inside of the restaurant was very dirty looking and not like it was before. The staff ignored customers even though they were standing right in front of the counter. Our order was incorrect and they missed part of it. The rice was so crunchy and old that it was inedible. Not sure if these are new owners but it is no longer a place we will be purchasing from. We used to love this place. read more

Food was excellent for a small place but the food was really good and the people were very nice and the staff was attentive! If you're willing to wait for takeout it's okay and if you're going to sit it's not very big but what I find is sometimes it's worth it! Bigger is not always better but the food is always more than enough! As a traveler we prefer mom and pop restaurants than bigger and faster! We will be back! read more

The service is absolutely amazing, and the Cubans are freaking phenomenal!!!! Every time I go in, I'm met with such kind and welcoming costumer service Always a pleasure coming in and dining read more

Great all around. The food is great, the service is great. I wish I lived closer to enjoy more often!

ZERO stars if possible! tldr: AVOID, unless you love getting inconsistent quality in food + consistently lousy, rude service. DoorDash / takeout at your own risk! Long story short(-ish): After a long, draining, difficult day my fam was tired and hungry, but seemed cheered at the prospect of Copacabana being delivered right to our home. Everyone carefully chose their meals from the DoorDash app menu: 3 La Canoa (2 chicken, 1 beef) and 2 orders of Ropa Vieja. Half with white rice, half with yellow and all with maduras. Copacabana accepted our order, estimated wait time about an hour and 15 minutes. We patiently wait. Right when our order should have been outside our front door, our Dasher messages us, sounding frustrated. "Your order is not ready. Been here 15 minutes already, restaurant told me 'Doordash, you'll have to wait'. I assure him the delay won't reflect negatively on him and we appreciate his patience. Another 15 minutes goes by and we get word the order on it's way. It arrives. Not ONE meal in our $75+ order is correct. Our two chicken eaters are faced with choices of 2 meals what appears to be beef stew, two orders of some sort of steak smothered in onions, and one order of...we think it was veal, but not sure. Now hangry, we call the restaurant. The conversation goes like this: Copacabana answers. Me: "Hi, we just got our DoorDash order, it was supposed to be three orders of La Canoa and two orders of Ropa Vieja, but not a single meal in this order is correct." Copacabana, in snotty tone of voice: "First of all, we don't have La Canoa right now." Me (now even more annoyed): "First of all, it was on the menu in DoorDash, and you ACCEPTED our order! Now I'd like to know how you're going to make this right for us, we spent a lot of money with you tonight." Copacabana (now even more snotty): "First of all, no we did not confirm your order, and we don't do business with DoorDash." Me (now actualy getting angry: "FIRST OF ALL, You most certainly did and I can prove itk and you most certainly do - THAT IS HOW YOU GOT OUR ORDER! Now I don't want to hear any more attitude, I want to know how you're going to fix this for us!" Copacabana: HANGS UP ON ME. By now, I've begun a chat on DoorDash to complain to them. Enraged, I gathered up the food and piled into the car with a family member to go finish the conversation in person. As we're driving off, a VERY apologetic DoorDash rep issues me a full refund. We pull over to call my family to give an update and find out what food they'd like us to pick up for dinner on our way back from Copa. They urge us to just come home rather than making the 30 minute round trip just to give back their food. "At least we didn't have to pay for their mistake,: they assured me. Oh, but we did. The food was truly AWFUL (even for FREE food). Salty, mushy, utterly unsatisfying...and in the case of the mystery meat, DISGUSTING. It was as though they took five takeout containers and scraped our orders from the very bottom of the pots they put on the stove when they'd opened earlier that day. We have frequented Copacabana for YEARS now - I believe we even had them cater an event for us once. We have eaten some truly delicious meals from them, but it seems they've changed ownership recently and the place is NOT the same. We won't be back and we encourage you to look elsewhere for delicious spanish food in Spring Hill. read more

My family and I are visiting from MD and decided to try this place. So glad we did. We ordered the pernil with yellow rice and black beans. The beans were the best I've ever had and I've had plenty over my lifetime. And the pernil, seasoned well and moist. We also ordered the mofongo with chicharron de pollo. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy but mofongo a tad dry for my liking. Lastly, the tripleta was divine! read more

Best Latin food in Spring Hill!!! Chicken Milanesa is delicious, Maduros are perfect and the yuca comfort food at its finest!

The service was A+, the food took me back to Puerto Rico. The ambiance, although a small restaurant, makes you feel like you've travel to the Caribbeans. And best of all, the price for the whole package. I could not finish the amount of food served. I'll be going back...and not alone. read more

New to area . Trying all local restaurants. Ordered breaded steak white rice red beans plantains Could have used a few more pieces of the plantains ; only got two small pieces . Overall plate was good. The red beans were good very tasty . Ordered the empanadas, meat and meat and cheese Could have used a bit more seasoning and again the empanadas could have been more crunchy . Overall ok . Also tried the chicharrones . Could use more flavor and they didn't have a crispy texture . Will try again and order different platters . Service was great very friendly. Very busy had to wait about 40 min which was ok . Left and came back in 40 min and food was fresh and hot . read more

wow! great treasure in strip mall with maybe 10 tables. friendly and inviting service. took awhile to get food but believe it was all being prepped to order. food was flavorful - had the pernil (tender) with yellow rice and black beans (good) along with tostones - make sure to order the garlic sauce! friend ordered mofongo (excellent) with fried pork (overdone) and another had goat stew which was full of flavor but the goat was very chewy. i will definitely be back - and maybe call in order to pick up as we waited quite awhile having arrived well past lunch hour. i think they serve beer. read more
