The staff were attentive, gave great menu recommendations, and constantly came by to refill our water. Very spacious dining room. We started with the Queso Fundido, served on a small hot plate with chilis, garlic, and oil on top. It's basically a block of cheese served with chips. Even with the hot plate, it didn't stay gooey for long, but it was a pretty good starter. The Coconut Campachano was creamy and refreshing. It also came with chips, though ours seemed like crumbs from the bottom of the barrel. We got the Trompo tacos and Sautéed Shrimp tacos. Both were tasty, and the tortillas seemed fresh. Decent food, great service, small portions, a bit expensive for what you get and that's before the 4% fee.

My wife and I were hungry and it was getting a little late, so we started driving around looking…read morefor somewhere new to try and ended up at Copita. My wife is Latina, so we're pretty familiar with authentic Latin/Mexican flavors, and from the moment we walked in, we were a little unsure of what to expect. We completely understand we're in Willow Glen and that Copita is going for a more upscale take, but for us, authenticity and flavor still have to be at the heart of the experience. Our waitress was very friendly and polite, and this review is absolutely not a reflection of her service. However, when we asked about the style of the food, there seemed to be a little hesitation in explaining it, which made us even more uncertain about what we had gotten ourselves into. I don't like bashing restaurants or their food, so I'll simply say that, unfortunately, the highlight of our meal was the chips and salsa. The cocktails, on the other hand, were good and definitely not shy on the alcohol! Also, don't expect large portions. The restaurant is clearly aiming for a more upscale presentation and experience, so the plates reflect that. Overall, Copita just wasn't for us. This was our first visit and unfortunately will probably be our last. I genuinely wish them success, but I think a few changes, especially when it comes to the flavors and authenticity of the food could make a big difference.

A hidden gem. We went there last night. We were greeted at the door by two people. Both polite…read more It's a small intimate cozy nook of a place. We requested to be seated at the bar, as always. The mixologist, Beatrice, was knowledgeable about drinks and the menu. We fell in love pretty quickly with the vibe and how atmospheric the place was. Drinks were excellent. They have freshly made daily different Agua Frescas that you can add spirits to!!!!! I had the Hibiscus and added tequila. SO, so good. I had a few. (Smiling.). My husband tried multiple different cocktails settling on the milk punch. It too was excellent. We had the Elote, perfection. One of the best yet! We also had an appetizer where you make your own taco. Really good, beans and cheese, yummy. He had the Mole and I had the special of the day, Birria tacos. Both were excellent but the Mole was the star. We ended with espresso martinis and a wonderful layered dessert that you must have but I can't remember the name. The pastry on top was just so damned good, on top of layers of lovely things. It was a great time. We got to speak to the owner, Lorena, for a bit. She was busy with all the guests but took a moment to chat. The place has a history that you should ask about. She took it from the ashes of a fire and built this lovely little authentic Mexican restaurant. CONS: I felt it would sell better and feel even more cozy going all the way to white linen tablecloths, water goblets, and more romantic lighting. But that is only my opinion and I know nothing about owning a restaurant. PROS: The food, the drinks, the service, the vibe. It's a great place just a couple of blocks from downtown but a world away, a little trip to Mexico without your passport. GO!!!!!

It's a small place but has indoor & outdoor eating. Lively (Latin?) music & an extensive menu. If you have a large party or are with picky eaters, this place has it all. I ordered their egg scramble with chorizo. 5/5 The rice & beans were seasoned so good. Even as sides, as individual items they were DELICIOUS. The chorizo & eggs weren't overly greasy & the tortillas were good. My partner ordered the steak sandwich. 4.5/5 Flavor was amazing. The steak was a little chewy. The sauce on the side complimented it very well but not necessary as the flavor of the steak was great by itself. I ordered a strawberry mimosa, as well. It was really lacking for me. Didn't taste any strawberry. Just looked like pink champagne. 2/5 Overall, the food & customer service was great. Clean bathrooms. Good vibes. Will definitely come back & try the rest of the menu.

Check your empanada for mold!…read more We stopped by for breakfast and got chilaquiles and a chicken and mole empanada. Enjoyed our chilaquiles (do try this if you stop by), and were wrapping up our meal with the empanada when we discovered a chunk of fuzzy blue grey mold in the MIDDLE of the empanada about 1" in length and 3/8" wide. The empanada was already cut in half and wasn't showing from the outside or the cut area, but the mold was in one half of the empanada and I broke the other half which was normal looking. Thankfully we spit it out, and didn't eat the bite that we took. The waitress had offered to replace it but we said no because we were so shocked. We were kind of disappointed that the manager didn't try to come and address the issue with us. Just left it to their serving staff who quickly cleared our table and gave us the check. Might go back for the other food items, but definitely NOT the empanadas.
