Stephanie LeonMarch 2, 2013The croquettes, emphases and torrens DE Oliva are the bomb. You must try this Cuban place out it's a must. Love it
Jeremy JacobowitzOctober 11, 2014Had the Frits Cubans burger! Seriously good! Super juicy burger topped with roasted pork and chiccaron! Loved it!
Rent the RunwayMay 12, 2011If you're hungry from dancing in the Meatpacking district, make a stop here before heading home. Breakfast is served all day and the huevos rancheros cause instant addiction. Get the guac too!
The weekday prix fixe lunch (Cubano w/ yucca fries) with sangria is a day-drinker's best friend. Praise.
Karina CruzJune 16, 2018This place is a great brunch spot! It’s inexpensive, and the food is great. Great service as well.
ChelseaAugust 11, 2014The Lomo Saltado + Mac and Chicharron will change your life. The flavors are out of this world!
Nate HendersonJune 16, 2015The Cubano was on point. The yucca fries and chimichurri took it to another level.
- Terri RMay 7, 2016Loved the oxtail empanada, yuca fries, and Mac & chicharron! Everything was delicious.
Aleson HoApril 8, 2015Sangria is very sweet, just the way I like it. Ropa vieja, oxtail empanada, lomo saltado(!!!), mmmmmmmm.
Tom JosephApril 22, 2015The Mac and Chicharrón and Arroz con Pollo (large portion) were both very good. Friendly service, if a little slow
Real yuca fries! Like the kind you would get in Brazil (or, presumably, Cuba). Just yuca, fried. Not breaded and mushy. They are delicious.
Rei WangDecember 10, 2014The yucca fries are the best I've ever had. So airy and crispy at the same time. Delicioso!
Melique WilliamsJune 14, 2012Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, this place rock, best food and drinks 24hrs a day when you are liking for elevated diner food with Latin swag! Que Rico!
Fernando ManciniDecember 10, 2018Small, but great atmosphere! Friendly staff. Try the Cubano sandwich and yuka fries.
Elanie FloresJanuary 16, 2021I love chicken wings, chopped chicharron salad, with a chocolate chipotle glaze. Highly recommended.
J.R. ReedNovember 19, 2017Amazing oxtail empanada - sandwhiches all very tasty. Great place for any time of day
Elizabeth BursteinAugust 11, 2018Loved the cubano, guac, and avorita. Brady had the arepas. Great value!
Vince WongApril 5, 2015Coppelia's Lomo Saltado (n): A rich panoply of Middle Kingdom sabor crossed with fresh, New World Andean abundance. Yum.
Yucca fries and kale salad!! One of my favorite restaurants around. Expect a wait during peak hours.
Great 24 cuban diner. Arroz con pollo, sweet plantains, ropa vieja and lomo saltado are all great.
Try the huevos con steak rare palomilla sunny side up..yummy!!!
Ann-KathryneOctober 9, 2014If you are particular about yuca frita, order it here and thank me later.
la comida es muy buena, the guacamole, the tostones great apps. Also try the cubano.- Wednesday night San Cocho rules!!!! Ask for the tomatillo sauce !!!
Their daily specials never disappoint. The churrasco and the ropa vieja are two slammin', can't - miss dishes.
Great food. The arroz con pollo is delic. So is the skirt steak. Same w brusselsprouts and gauc.
Rev CiancioApril 19, 2012Unique Latin food preparation. The Frita Cubana burger is damn good. Def go Yucca over any other french fry. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Rachael FloodJuly 9, 2014New favourite place! Tuesday is Taco day and the skirt steak tacos are unbelievable. Super friendly service too.
Julie AvraSeptember 19, 2017Dope space, good michelada, prices are banging right off the bat ($10 for a burger or sandwich or egg dish)
Serious EatsMarch 15, 2013This 24-hour Cuban diner is polished but homey, with crisp fried dishes and great desserts.
Try the Huevos Coppelia, best decision I've made. Also try the Avocado Milkshake. Awesome Cuban restaurant that's open 24/7.
Maya RDecember 14, 2014Love the soup. Good drink specials and sandwiches. Staff is all super nice. Great atmosphere.- drew tarvinMay 3, 2015Open 24 hours a day with Cuban style brunch items. Hopefully it won't get busier now that the embargo has been lifted.
Sarah T.May 30, 2015Get the Peruvian Lomo Saltado, and the chicken empanadas (beef was just eh...) Will be back for the Mac!
Ale PalafoxJanuary 19, 2016Out late and don't know where to go. Coppelia is a great option, a 24 hour dinner with latin flavor!!
Ordered the Mac & Chicarron because of all the 4SQ recommends... Wow. It is the best thing I've ever eaten. And I'm completely sober.
Justin OrdovezaFebruary 7, 2017The pan con lechon is porktastic, roast pork with pieces of chicharron.
Christine ShepherdDecember 9, 2014Great food open 24hrs. Mac and cheese is a must. Fresh ingredients, great guac
Great food, friendly service. What's not to like? Try the steak and eggs. So good. The pancake was perfect. Tastes like home :-)
Jess TellApril 8, 2013Service can take a really long time, but the food is mostly worth the wait. MUST save room for dessert or an adult milkshake
