Was looking for a pizza place after partying at 3am and found this place. We really really liked it (may be also because of some alcohol consumption). But the food and service was good and the entertainment from the guests on the next table was the best hahaha. The nachos and the corn empanada were good as well as the pitcher of Sangria. read more

Most incredible empanadas, highly recommended the oxtail couldn't believe the flavors. Staff is extremely welcoming! Top 3 restaurants in Chelsea for sure. 5 stars! read more

Love this place and go here any chance I get. The food is wonderful (I've had everything from the cuban sandwich, to the pernil with rice and beans and the nachos), the music is lively (I've found myself singing along often), and the service is attentive. The bathroom is cute too, with the separate sink and all, because sometimes you just wanna wash your hands! I've taken many people here and I will be back! read more

This place (food&service) is consistently outstanding. The churrasco was as close to perfection as one can get. From the flavor to the temp. The Moros (white rice/black beans combined) I could eat everyday and never get tired of. For dessert we had the pumpkin pie (my wife's favorite part of the meal). I highly recommend the pumpkin pie. (I highly recommend this place too) read more

I like the food, I like the open 24 hours thing. I'm used to the wait. And I almost got used to the asshole attitude. However, tonight, after waiting for 20 mins and ordering a beer at 3:59 and being told it's 4am I realized it's too much: I GOT SICK OF THE ASSHOLE ATTITUDE read more

Love this place with all my heart, it's a regular spot for me. It's pretty expensive side but great diner vibes, great guac, they put the right amount of tequila in their drinks, and my favorite dish in the arroz con pollo. read more

Even though this place has a respectable 4 stars, I feel like it's very underrated and under appreciated. The vibe can be whatever you want- you can take your family + children here. You can go on a very romantic date here. I personally take all my friends who visit to this place. The Cuban-Latin diner is a great fusion. Theres a little something for everyone on their menu. The food here is to die for. The best part about this place is not only is the food amazing, but it comes at the most reasonable price. I've never gotten anything from the menu that I wasn't happy with. The only thing I'd suggest to management is to sit people where they'd like to be seated when the restaurant is empty. I've had to fight tooth and nail to not be seated at the very front of the restaurant, two inches apart from other tables with people at them when the restaurant is empty. Their excuse is "it is going to get busier" but it never does. Will still give it 5 stars despite this very annoying flaw. read more

My friends and I had the most wonderful dining experience thanks to the delicious food and absolutely fantastic service! We were planning a surprise dinner for our friend, and the manager and wait staff were unbelievably helpful and kind in making our night special. We absolutely adored this place! read more

Great place for a late night snack. Love the Empanadas! Full bar too. Open 24 hours. Excellent service. You can get anything from some appetizers to a wonderful dinner here. So happy we found it. read more

This place is, the jam. Open 24 hours, with attentive service and delicious authentic food. AND THE PRICES ARE GOOD. We ordered the chipotle chocolate chicken wings, the mexican hot chocolate, the fish tacos, and the guac (always appreciate a plantain chip). There are 2 tiny fish tacos for about 12 bucks which is a drag, but they have the fixings to boot. Don't expect huge chicken wings. also, there are maybe 6 in an order. You can always stay drinking all night! If you speak spanish like one of my compadres, you may even score some free drinks ;) Haven't tried a main dish het, but surely will in the near near future. overall, a place with some serious heart. go to DONUT PUB next door for dessert! Hell, go next door to get a coffee and a cinnamon crueler and go to work!!!! read more

Establishments like this make me want to move back to NYC. The food is BOMB! The service is great and knowledgable, I love love love this place. And the fact that it's a 24 hour spot that serves real food is amazing! Always recommend this place, and it's the best when you're drunk lol. Get the nachos please. read more

Terrible Customer Service! If you want to be over charge for small drinks and horrible food go to this restaurant! I know it's New York City and it has a reputation for bad customer service but this service was horrible. read more

This is my go-to spot when I'm in Chelsea. Whether it's a quick pre-theater bite (their kitchen is blazingly fast)or happy hour with multiple rounds(amazing happy hour deals on very well balanced cocktails, this is the spot. I've been known to come great for cocktails, ceviche, appetizers, entree and dessert. Their desserts are especially good, including their spiked milkshakes, and they always have an entree, appetizer, and special at the very least on a rotating specials menu. Everything from Peruvian chicken to Cuban Chinese lo mein. Love this place. read more

The food is delicious and realistically portioned, unlike other restaurants/diners. The loaded milkshakes are really good. The staff, including security, all have sticks up their asses, but the chef is talented, never let him or her go.. until they're ready of course. But the replacement better be the next best thing. Also, more than one restroom would be nice too. read more

Love it. Food is great, corn on the cob delicious, salmon good. All dishes so tasty, service can be a bit up and down but doesn't matter, great music and a bit noisy. Love it also for brunch read more

Super great diner, especially for one that's open 24hrs!!! Service was great, efficient, and fast. They handle unruly customers very professionally and the dude up front is really cool! The food is pretty good, I would defiantly come back for the pancakes! 10/10 would come back for late night breakfast!!! read more

24hr diner. Great spot for a casual meal. Large portions! Skirt steak entree was kinda bland. But the Chicken Sandwich made up for it (tasty, with guac, red onions, and their special chipotle sauce). Tres Leches dessert was super delicious, but a bit too sweet. Great customer service. Overall, it wasn't a super memorable experience, but I'd like to come back to give it another try with some other interesting looking things on their menu. read more

Mojo sauce! On everything , no seriously goes great with everything ! Ok I jest, but the mojo sauce (pronounced "mo-ho") is complimentary to the tostones, and that vegetarian burger is yum yum. I ordered the turkey burger and did not get to indulge in any other items at the moment. Great place to go during the witching hour (we went at 415am) and listen to conversations. One girl from a group was speaking quite articulately of the way her significant other was giving her a jolly rogering. Another couple were discussing regrets of the overconsumption of certain libations and the waiter was kind enough to cater to our needs despite all of this going on at the same time. You want good food, just go here. Seriously. And if you need a sweet fix walk down to Donut Pub (see my review of them) and get yourself a Boston kreme , a jelly donut ( raspberry jelly!) and a glazed donut washed down with some coffee or tea (I like tea). Do this and hate me later. read more

This place is 24 hours! And AWESOME! I've visited twice with my boyfriends after 2am and the food was still amazing and everything was fresh! My favorite late dining! read more

So far, some of the best, homemade nachos I have found in the city and it's a quest for me. Also, Go for happy hour (I think its 4-7 at the bar) to get really awesome and somewhat unique cocktails for $6. Worth it. read more

Delicious food and drinks. The prices are great and the service is amazing. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive . I would recommend the chicken sandwich and the Paloma (delicious drink). Will be returning ! read more

These guys would not let me in with a party of 5. We wanted to sit in a certain section close to our friend and they refused to let us sit in a area that was considered 3 separate 2 tops. The bouncer was polite but the shorter Hispanic guy was extremely rude. We were 5 people ready to eat. But instead of accommodating our seating request they turned us away. DO NOT EAT HERE. These people are clearly prejudice against groups they do not like. Turning away a party of 5 when your restaurant is empty is not only bad etiquette but bad managerial practice. read more

I was at Coppelia last week with 5 friends. I have tried their incredible food in the past, but this time they added new items to the menu, a few Venezuelan options and the food was fantastic, very authentic. Our server was Fiorella, I was impressed by her knowledge about Venezuelan cuisine, of course after asking I realized she is Venezuelan. I highly recommend Coppelia as the food and service are terrific. read more

Best Lomo Saltado we've ever had!! I love all the flavors in there; all the sauces. They worked together so well. And the meat was the most tender I've ever had. We also got the Cuban sandwich, but that was only alright. Totally coming back to this place for their lomo saltado!! read more

This place is pretty good for a diner but the food didn't live up to the hype. I must admit the guac was pretty good so if you're going to get anything get that. The Cuban sandwich didn't taste authentic at all but tasted average ... no serious complaints. The omelette I got was flavorless and the bacon was the most fatty disgusting meat I've ever put into my mouth. Stay away from the breakfast food! Overall I'm disappointed with the food, but the service was great. read more

Service was terrible in all respects. Lots of seats open but were seated in an impossibly tight spot and when the neighboring table knocked off our fork and knocked over our water we had to catch the water ourselves to prevent it from spilling all over our table and our fork was not replaced. The pacing of the meal was extraordinarily slow and overall unacceptable. The food was bland - terribly so. The guac seemed pre-prepared and had the texture of avocado purée rather than fresh avocados. Would not recommend. Go elsewhere. read more

So i ordered from here and will never again...the food Is disgusting, poor quality and for the price you would expect great food. The empanada came Burnt looks exactly like a turd for 5 dollars? I could have gotten a better empanada on the corner. The whole order was an all around disappointment..never again read more

Coppelia - Turd empanada - Cuban Near Me - New York, New York

THE best brunch. Spot in Chelsea hands down. The huevos rachneros which are ubiquitous on every brunch menu but are never actually good are exceptional here as is the French toast a la dulce de leche. read more

This was some of the worst service I've seen. Three people in my party of seven showed up and they made us wait outside for the others to come before seating us even though the restaurant was 75% empty. After being seated, the server took 40 minutes to bring out our food. We specifically asked for the food to be brought out as it was ready... Never coming back here again. read more

I think this is probably one of the most amazing, and classiest diners open 24/7! Great Cuban food, a little pricer but it's worth it. Everything I have had on the menu including its drinks are phenomenal. Staff is always nice and friendly, service is quick. Sometimes there is a slight wait. read more

Very Tranphobic! Went with a group of my trans girl friends and the servers were rude, walked away multiple times before we were done ordering. Some girls were done eating by the time others got to order. Had to pay the 20% gratuity because we had more than 6 people even though we received terrible service. And the food was just average to top it off. read more

I was expecting a lot more given the reviews but my friend and I wandered in here at 11:30pm at night in anticipation of a great meal. What we got was a mediocre dining experience. I had the steak with brussel sprout salad and rice. The brussel sprout "salad" was like, 2-3 sprouts shredded and thrown on top of the rice which tasted old. The steak was the highlight of the evening, even though we asked for it medium and it arrived to our table rare. Our waiter wasn't very helpful with our questions about the menu and being someone who is familiar with Cuban food, this was especially perplexing. It was a very "meh" experience and I wouldn't go again. read more

All I tried were their oxtail empanadas and that's all I will ever try from this place because I will only want to eat that stuff. It may not sound like it but it's dangerously good! The outer part is actually plantains so it gives it a slightly sweet flavor which is perfectly balanced with the tasty oxblood filling stuffs. I honestly don't know what I ate specifically but I don't care. Yum!! read more

I been to this place is a few times and I'll tell you why..... They are great anytime of the day and of the week. I usually have this chicken with kale and substitute the quinoa for yellow rice and it's a simple dish but so flavorful. The place looks a little tacky but then again idc once the food is on point. read more

Normally I would give this place 5 stars. I absolutely love the food, drinks and ambiance-- but the visit I had today was far from pleasant. We walked into a lack luster welcome from a tall girl with a forest/jungle print track jacket, bushy long hair, big nose and big face(didn't catch her name). She acted as if she was bothered by our presence. She barely spoke and sat us at the bar without giving us table options. I kept my eyes on her unfriendly big face and she wasn't doing shit!!! She gave the same half ass greeting to each customer. She stood around multiple times glaring at her cell phone and with her hands in her pockets. I guess it was more important than showing up for work and actually WORKING. However, I'm not going to let her completely tarnish my feeling towards the establishment in general, but someone needs to check this chick. read more

How can you go wrong with a 24 hour Cuban place?! Everything was excellent. The mac and cheese with chicharon, lomo saltado, and the tostones with guacamole came highly recommended, and the recommendation did not fail us. So, so good for a late night meal. I wish I lived closer! The service could use an improvement, but honestly, don't let that kind of thing dissuade you from good food. read more

Coppelia - Guacamole with plantain chips. - Cuban Near Me - New York, New York

I have recently been obsessed with Cuban dining and this experience was no exception. I loved the diner-esque atmosphere, however the food and drinks far beyond exceeds any diner expectations. The guacamole and variety of tortilla, plantain and sweet potato chips was a great start. The oxtail empanadas, albeit small, were very tasty. My boyfriend ordered the Hash de Costillas (Short Rib Hash), which was a lot smaller than all the other entrees, so we were a little disappointed there but it was really good and the meat was super tender. I had the Pan con Lechon with a side of sweet plantains, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Crispy panini-pressed sandwich booming with flavor. Even though it was a bit greasy, when you have deep fried pork skins in the mix, you can't expect much else. I would definitely do it all over again though. My friends had the Chilaquiles and Cubano sandwich with Yucca fries. The Chilaquiles were 95% soggy tortillas, 3% steak (additional $) and 2% eggs so this might have been the only plate to be rethought. The Cubano looked as good as my sandwich and not as greasy. Being a staple to this cuisine and culture, I can't imagine this being anything but delicious. Some of the drinks were super sweet but, from what I gathered the Bloody Mary was on point. The Cafe con Leche was a great ending. Some of the desserts and sorbets looked great, but we were super full. Loved everything about this place! The fact that a group of 4 on a Sunday during the first nice weekend in NYC only waited 10 minutes, is also an added bonus. read more

I work in the area and sometimes you get tired of the salads, sandwiches and wraps. Sometimes you want some good Latino comida (Latin food!!! The food at this place is GREAT and it's affordable!!!!! I would eat here everyday if my waistline could afford it!...lol The waitress remembers your order and it's a nice feeling to go somewhere where the server is attentive and observant. On any given day I will the chicken empanada, the oxtail empanada, the arepa sandwich (to die for!!), or the pan con lechon. I ALWAYS ask for a side of mojo sauce no matter what I order! I see so many good things on the menu and i intend to try everything on the menu but I'm stuck on my favorite things!...lol I highly recommend this place...friendly service, great food, affordable prices! read more

After a run, we stopped for a quick bite. Amazing salads! I was so impressed. I would highly recommend the food there. I customized my salad and replaced the lettuce with kale. I like how the salad has a fried egg and half an avocado. Very fresh and tasty. read more

This is an awesome Cuban diner in a central location with reasonable food. This 24/7 location definitely felt like a higher end diner but the prices were low and the service was good. The oxtail empanada was the winner for the night. The other table favorite was the lechon sandwich. I can't wait to come back when I need a sit down restaurant to soak up the booze. This could also be a great place to green lunch at. FYI the hot sauce is hot! read more
