Good. Came in here solo for dinner on a Sunday. Found a seat at the bar near the kitchen. Comfortable and the service was great. I ordered a glass of wine (not the best) and the oxtail empanadas to start. Empanadas were good. Nothing exciting. I then ordered the Havana salad- kale, pumpkin seeds, queso fresco, tomatoes, lemon mustard dressing and I added the steak medium rare. The salad was a large portion and had a great flavor. The steak was overdone and too much seasoning which overpowered the salad. I would come back to try different items. read more

Food: 2.5/5 Service: 2.5/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 Value: 2/5 Friday afternoon around 1pm I decided to grab lunch here after my doctor's appointment in Union Square. I took the M14 bus over and figured I'd hit the 1 train downtown to get back to work in FiDi after I was done eating. Sat at the bar. Restaurant was maybe 10% occupied. Yet for some reason my meal (fried chicken plate for lunch, medianoche sandwich to go) took forever. There were three or four cooks in the kitchen, not sure what the hold up was. The chicken pieces were small and overcooked. Hard, brittle. The biscuit was also tough. $54 including tip for the two dishes. Way too expensive for diner food. read more

While I visited the restaurant a few years ago, it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I gave it another go...it is my new favorite go to spot! The staff is welcoming and have become quick friends...AJ and Freddie keep the energy coming especially with the music. Highly recommend sitting at the bar (or table). The place is very LGBT welcoming. The food is so tasty - with great portions. Love the steak and eggs (their breakfast is served all day), iced tea, red sangria, espresso martini, and their play on eggs Benedict. Love that you can see into the kitche where everything is being cooked! Perfect place if you want an easy, casual hang out place...you can hear the laughter throughout the entire space. They are also open 24/7. Highly recommend. read more

Coppelia has been one of my favorite fallback spots when in the area for a few years now. They always deliver, whether I want a late-night Cuban sandwich or empanadas. The diner vibe is incredibly lively, and the fact that it stays open nearly around the clock makes it a true lifesaver after a long night out. The food is consistently flavorful and packed with authentic Latin spices, not to mention the portions are large enough to share. read more

Came pretty late at night to get some food after going to a bar, and it was pretty active. The steak and eggs was really tasty and filling, also came with rice and beans that are hard to see in the picture. We also ordered a waffle that came with whipped cream and strawberries, which was so so good. The service was pretty fast, and a bunch of different people came over and helped us so always felt like we had a waiter even if ours wasn't around. Super cute late night vibe, good music and nice decor. read more

Coppelia is 24hrs that alone is enough to make it worth the visit. The Cuban vibes definitely make me feel at home. I love the versatility of their menu options. I ordered a Ropa Vieja and a Lychee Fresca. The bartender Raphael was attentive and knowledgeable about drink recommendations which I eventually decided on trying out. It's a great spot for a date solo or paired and to bring friends to. read more

I have fallen in love with their food mainly, but the vibes, drinks, and team make me want to introduce everyone to it fan favorites: - lomo saltado - ropa vieja - lechon - gamba al ajillo - cochinillo the staff came up to us to to ask us about the cochinillo bc it was a new item they were looking to serve on the regular menu. Be sure to check out their house specials for any good treat. read more

24 hour Cuban/Latin American diner with fun vibes. Came here for dinner and ordered a few plates to share. We got the Cubano, Camarones (shrimp) Cienfuegos, and Churrasco (steak). The steak stole the show for all of us, we were very pleasantly surprised by how perfectly it was cooked to order. The dish was super flavorful, and a really good size. Would absolutely order this again and again. The cubano was fine and the shrimp was pretty good, but not my favorite. The shrimp dish was pretty spicy and I had wished came with more shrimp. Food portions were pretty large for the most part, and we ended up leaving a bit of food on the table. Most cocktails were tequila and rum based, I ended up getting a Hemingway royal, but wasn't really feeling it so my boyfriend finished it for me. read more

Coppelia, a Cuban-inspired diner that is open 24/7, serving satisfying Latin comfort foods. Their menu is predominantly Cuban cuisine, however, you will also find some Mexican, Colombian, and Peruvian food. They also have a nice cocktail menu. It was hard to choose what I wanted to eat, they even have tempting all day breakfast menu. I opted for the Roja Vieja, a flavorful shredded beef dish prepared in a tomato-based sauce. What a hearty meal! And one of their popular dishes as well. It's a huge dish served with rice and black beans. My server also had recommended lomo salteado (beef short ribs) and the churrasco (skirt steak). I also enjoyed the cozy yet lively vibe. Overall, 4 stars. read more

Coppelia - Ropa Vieja - Cuban Near Me - New York, New York

Rating: 9.5/10 Date Last Visited: 1/25/2026 We ordered the Lomo Saltado ($30), Shrimp and Grits ($28), Mofongo Con Constilla ($30), Churrasco ($29), Steak Frites ($32), Ceviche ($17), and Dulce De Leche Pancakes ($17). Almost every dish was amazing, but the lomo saltado is the star of the show. The combination of the beef short rib, onions, tomato, and fries along with the sauces is perfect. The beef is extremely tender and the dish is super flavorful. It's worth going to Coppelia just to eat the lomo. For brunch, the shrimp and grits is really solid too, but a bit pricey for just four shrimps. The pancake was amazing too. For the dinner entrees, the churrasco and steak frites are also really good. Coppelia does a good job on all their dishes and I'm a huge pan. Overall, I would 100% recommend this place. read more

Very solid 24/7 diner! We got a ceviche style chips and salsa, the lomo saltado and enchiladas. The lomo saltado was a bit sweet but maybe that's the cuban style, I have only had the Peruvian style. Everything pretty solid! The service was also very solid the waiters were pretty attentive. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect at a classic diner! read more

Food was terrible, not authentic flavors or preparation. Service was the only redeaming factor.

I recently ate here on a whim and as an extreme lover of Latin food, was quite excited. Sad to say, I left pretty underwhelmed. I will say - I will definitely be back for their fried pickles. They are delicious, but everything else was just underwhelming. The oxtail empanada sounds absolutely delicious but it's mushy inside, and doesn't taste like oxtail. Also the pico that comes with it just doesn't match the taste I was expecting. I also got a shredded beef arepa and it just didn't have any kind of taste. I barely took four bites before giving up. I took the food to go because I didn't want to waste it, but it's just sitting in my fridge waiting to be chucked. Next time I'll come when I'm not hungry but want to snack. read more

I went to Coppelia with my boyfriend, and now I get why it's one of his favorite spots in the city!! The staff is genuinely warm and on it - so lovely. The host, the servers, everyone we met was friendly and attentive! I've tried the churrasco on one visit and the mofongo (the one with short rib) on another, and both were incredible. They're known for their Lomo Saltado, and that might honestly be one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. My boyfriend gets it every single time - it's like a Peruvian/asian fusion dish with braised pork belly. Just know it's a huge bowl!! The drinks were great too. I had the passion fruit strawberry guarapita and loved it, and he got the passionfruit marg which was amazing! We also ordered maduros as a side. Soft, sweet, perfect. AMAZING food and great music -- super lively and lovely. I already want to go back! read more

Stopped by here after an event in Brooklyn a little after midnight. The place was pretty packed, so we waited about 20 minutes to be seated, which honestly wasn't bad considering how busy it was. For appetizers, we ordered the oxtail empanadas. They were just okay.. nothing terrible, but probably not something I'd order again. For our entrees, we got the churrasco with yuca fries and the ropa vieja. The steak was cooked exactly medium like we asked and was absolutely delicious. The ropa vieja could have used just a little more seasoning, but it was still enjoyable overall. And definitely try the michelada, I was in heaven lol. I also love that this place is open 24/7. Our waiter was kind, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. I don't live nearby, but I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

I was able to get a seat immediately during a weekday night. Service was quick and food came out promptly. Restroom is kept clean! Pulpo y chorizo sandwich was decent with big chunks of octopus. The didn't cheap out. The mac chicharon was okay. I wish the chicharon/ pork meat was more crisp. read more

I have been coming to Coppelia for over 10 years now if that gives any indication of how this review will go! I usually stick to what I know but on this lunch break decided to go for the fish tacos. Not my favorite thing on the menu let me tell you. First of all I hate when places advertise fish as being crispy and it is nothing of the sort. The fish was more flaky then crispy. It also was a mess to eat. It was constantly dripping and falling apart. And as for the coleslaw, it was more like wilted seasoned cabbage. The yuca fries are always a big hit! So crispy and soft on the inside. Now just because today wasn't a hit don't let it deter you. They have plenty of great dishes. The Cubano sandwich is always a hit you can't go wrong with. The tequenos are essentially like fried mozzarella sticks but so much better. The star of the show for me is their quesadillas!! The creamy spinach and Gouda cheese is soooo good together. It's like eating a spinach artichoke dip wrap which to me is amazing! The corn and cheese empanada is also a show stopper. The creamy ness from the cheese and sweetness from the corn and crispness from the turnover is so delicious. I can go on and on but before I end this review i need to tell you about their drinks. One drink specifically only known as The Gran Paloma. I cannot tell you how many hangovers I've had due to this wonderful drink. Many years ago they use to have the double portion of the drink and I am sad to report they no longer do. 3 of those double portion drinks would have me set! This drink is the perfect amount of sweet, tart and strong. The drink has cazadores blanco, passion fruit, lime juice and topped with grapefruit soda. And the tajin rim gives it that extra zestiness. I can't wait to continue coming for another 10 years! read more

This is a great late-night spot if you're super hungry and want plenty of options. The food was surprisingly tasty. I had the oxtail empanada, which was delicious, and I really enjoyed the toppings. My friend ordered the chicken and waffles, and the portion was huge. She ended up taking half home and said the chicken was amazing. We didn't have to wait long for a table even though it was pretty crowded, and the food came out quickly. The inside has a typical diner vibe with a lively atmosphere. I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the city late and craving a hearty meal. read more

Late-night cravings? SOLVED. Coppelia, located at 207 W 14th St in NYC, is a 24-HOUR CUBAN DINER that absolutely slaps. No other way to describe it -- this place is a certified banger. Started off with their Oxtail Empanada and let me tell you... WOW. The sweet plantain dough? Magic. Braised oxtail melting inside, topped with crema, queso fresco, pico de gallo, and a little salsa verde action? Just chef's kiss. Then came the Lomo Saltado -- unbelievably tender, salty, slightly sweet, and available 24/7 (yes, seriously). Perfectly cooked beef meets lightly caramelized crunchy French fries, bone-dry rice, and that savory, stewed tomato sauce that hits every comfort button. Coppelia is a Cuban diner with a big, beautiful bar and vibes for days. Whether it's 2PM or 2AM, this spot should be in everyone's NYC food rotation. Go. There. Now. #CoppeliaNYC #CubanFood #LomoSaltado #EmpanadaGoals #LateNightEats #NYCFoodie #24HourSpot read more

This place is my kryptonite it's open 24 hours. At least it used to be. Very solid Cuban diner food and they have good drinks as well. I will say the food used to be better than it is now but I've been here plenty full of times when it was delicious. Also if you're coming after hours this is the best you're gonna get in New York City. Their Lomo Saltado is really good, steak and eggs is really solid, cuban sandwich. Honestly all the meat dishes are a great choice. But my favorite thing here is Chicharon mac & cheese. Generally the service is quick and it's casual and lively. I have been here when there was a fight so I think they have a person at the door now during certain times so no worries about that. read more

Came here with friends for brunch. I got the octopus torta and it was excellent. If you like octopus you definitely have to try this dish here. They have an extensive menu with interesting options that are not your typical brunch menu. My friend got some rice dish and she thought it was pretty good as well. The place was packed when we visited on a Saturday so definitely make a reservation. The ambiance is more of a casual diner vibe. read more

Stumbled on this gem while we were in town. Got the lomo saltado and was sooooo excited for it. We are used to having lomo with actual steak. PSA- the lomo beef is braised/stewed. I was disappointed but I couldn't stay disappointed long because the flavor was so robust and the meat was so decadent. I would order the dish again but wouldn't order it if I was craving lomo saltado. Service was fast, and friendly. Bathroom needs de-odorizing. Very rowdy and loud dining experience but I think it's part of the lively vibe of latin culture. Would come back for other dishes! read more

I landed in New York at about 11:30 pm on a Sunday, so was very pleased to see Coppelia was open 24 hours! I got the Ropa Vieja delivered. I cannot believe something so delicious was available at midnight. The beef was well seasoned, there's lots of umami flavor to contrast with the sweetness of the tomatoes. The fries still retained their flavor and texture (despite being in a mix and then traveling in a delivery container). The rice was soft, but not mushy or soggy. All in all, fantastic and the only thing that could have went better is if I had been able to eat in the restaurant (which I will next time)! read more

Cute vibe, good service, and great food! Best part is it's open 24 hours for when it's a late night and nothing else is open.

Beware! Food is unfortunately close to inedible. Hamburger was requested medium rare. it arrived well done, dry like sandpaper. Who can't cook a hamburger? Answer : Coppelia. The Empanada was undercooked, doughy and greasy. Only Jaws could have eaten the almost raw Brussel Sprouts. Happens again and again. No quality control. No management oversight. Soon there will be no customers read more

We got there on a weekday evening, no wait whatsoever. We were seated immediately and served. Good food! Both of the dishes we got were very tasty and plenty for 2 people. We had leftovers and I was very happy to take them home. read more

Ah man! This place is just soooo good!!! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because things can be a little inconsistent. First time I came, the Ropa Vieja tasted great but it was room temp and had to be reheated. Everything needs a bit of salt and pepper. BUT, it's flavorful and fresh!! I'm craving their food all of the time since coming my first time... and it's super satisfying. Desserts- be careful; They are also good but you can tell they have been in the cooler for a while. Let them come to room temp (except for the tres leches cake, which is by far the best). This time, I had the sucking pig, which I did not even have time to photograph because I was so excited to eat it!! Amazing! Chicken flautas are awesome and this carrot cake turned out well. read more

RACIST @SS PLACE I put one star because there wasn't anything less. I came in YESTERDAY (5/1) afternoon with my daughter to meet my siste and niece for a quick bite and a pre weekend drink. Upon arrival, the place was pretty empty with a few patrons, either wrapping up or just being seated. I asked for seating and although there were seats all over, we were placed in the very back, by the kitchen door. My sister arrived and we ordered a few appetizers and drinks . The drinks came in 15 minutes. The food , NEVER SHOWED UP. Everyone around us had gotten food at left. People who came after us, got their food and left. The waiter claimed he put our order in and went to the kitchen, three times but still, no food. I asked for the manager twice, no one came. At this point, we decided to pay at the counter. Hungry and confused, we left. We felt the racial undertones. Upon leaving, there was a large party of Latin folks waiting. I'm sure, they were treated with the utmost care. NEVER AGAIN! They came highly recommended.....I'M GOOD! read more

Coppelia serves Cuban food. I ordered the lomo saltado and the ropa vieja. I really like the lomo saltado, I found that dish to be extremely flavorful! It's a stirfry beef, onion, and pepper dish with fries and rice. The ropa vieja is also a beef dish, that's slow cooked and served over rice. I think the place is also opened really late so it's definitely a good place to go for a late dinner! read more

I'm gonna try hard to find one 'cause it checks all the boxes: Open 24 hours, big menu, great food, good coffee, booths, casual, breakfast all day... add awesome Cuban food, full bar and vibes that change throughout the day?

Mojitos were fire, Steak and Eggs over savory black beans & rice, Slightly spicy Garlic Gambas will buckle your knees (really!), Oxtails (yum!), Beef Rib & Mofongo... Seafood frito basket, it's almost too much to take in.
