    I loved the environment, it was super clean and the service was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I split the ground beef sopas and the asada sopas. I definitely preferred the ground beef and would 100% order it again. Plus, the complimentary chips and salsa were such a nice touch!

    Chicken nachos

    Great Mexican food. Definitely more culinary with twist style. Started off the chicken nachos with the chicken tinga nachos. They had a good amount of chicken and toppings! Next I had the birria tacos with the consome, delicious and nice and heavy on the beef. My friend had the shrimp and fish tacos, which she said were delicious. We did have margaritas, cant go wrong any of them.

    Happy hour at Copal is where it's at. Best margaritas in town by a long shot - and amazing food too. I LOVE their chips and salsa.

    Fish and Shrimp Tacos
    Haylee M.

    Came here for dinner with some friends my fiance and brother after suddenly changing plans to get Mexican instead of classic American. The chips and Salsa they brought at the beginning was so fresh! I really love that Salsa and it was hard to stop myself from reaching for that bowl over an over. I ordered the Fish and Shrimp tacos, but with only the grilled Mahi Mahi. I loved the fish by itself and that pineapple mango pico de gallo on top was really good too. I wasn't too big a fan of the whole taco as a whole though. The tortilla probably put things off for me. I also opted for some vegetables and mix of guacamole and some extra salsas on the side instead of the rice and beans that came with. I tried the beans from my fiance's bowl and they were actually really good. Fiancé got the Pastor tacos and those were freaking amazing! Perfectly cooked meat and everything went amazing together. Tortillas were definitely great there. My brother got the Mole Enchiladas and really loved them. That depth of flavor actually came through. Not pretty to look at but very good to eat! The rest of the table got some fajitas and carne asada and everyone enjoyed their food. There was also some Passionfruit Margarita and Strawberry Margarita ordered. I tried the strawberry and the flavor was really good as well. Not too strong and I could have totally sipped on it all myself. Cut off a point because I felt sick after going home and actually threw up too.

    Churros

    Tried this place for the first time. The food was good. We had the sopes and the huarache. Not things you can find at a lot of Mexican restaurants. We asked for them with no meat. Both were tasty. We also had the churros for dessert and the were very tasty. Only drawback was what appeared to be a new person who was not familiar with the menu and hard time answering questions. Even so, we will be coming back here.

    Birria Tacos

    We live close to Copal so we've been in quite a bit. It is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant on the South side of town. Whether it's to grab a to go order, a quick lunch, date night, or book club... Copal has never disappointed me The Birria tacos are my usual order, but I've also had the Al pastor tacos and they were great as well. The chips and salsa are also tasty.

    Don't read those 4 star or less reviews....great food and great service! I ordered the steak tacos, and my husband had the fish + shrimp tacos. Both were delicious and not greasy!! The margaritas were also really good. Our waitress was very sweet, and very attentive. We don't live anywhere near Lincoln Nebraska, but if we ever come back, we'll be sure to visit this restaurant again!

    Had a lovely lunch with my wife today we wanted to eat light so we both ordered appetizers…read more I had the beef nachos margarita. They were really good. Loved the mixed cheese. Our waitress was nice and on the ball.

    Stopped in at Las Margaritas with my brother and sister-in-law (Lincoln locals and big fans of this…read morespot). We were seated right away, and the server even knew my brother's drink and dinner order, which felt like VIP treatment. It's a cute, clean establishment, very on par with most Mexican restaurants in the area. Chips and salsa arrived quickly. The chips were standard, but the salsas were fresh and tasty, with both hot and mild options. We started with the cheese dip, which was a little runny, but I actually like it that way. It even had spinach in it, so we'll call that healthy. Our crew ordered everything from shrimp diablo to nachos to chicken ranchero, while I went for the number one combo with three tacos. The food came quickly and looked great, but my tacos didn't hold up. The shells gave out under the weight of the beef, which was a bit on the greasy side. Instant sog city. Sadness. I ended up making tostadas out of the wreckage with the help of some of the table chips. Overall, not a bad stop. The menu is big, the service is friendly, and there is plenty more to try. I would come back, but probably not for tacos.
