    For over 15 years, my go-to restaurant for good food and delicious margaritas (brunch/lunch/dinner).. Recently, I'm disappointed by the very loud cursing clientele after 4 pm. The atmosphere, once energetic, is becoming offensive.

    We have heard good things about Copa and decided to have dinner. Even though we were told the burgers were fantastic, we decided on fish and chips and jerk shrimp and both dishes were really good! We will definately go back again.

    4.5 stars** My ONLY complaint is that the chicken in the enchiladas is always pretty dry. Gets a little loud too but that’s whatever. Other foods I’ve tried (Spanish fries w/ wiz, nachos, tacos) were great. Margaritas always taste great too and great value for the size of them! Excellent service!

    What an experience. The burger was outstanding. The fries were outstanding. I do feel, that the bun could have been better. Too much bread, actually. Otherwise - still the best burger that I have had. Same with the fries. Also, the bathroom was clean and shiny. I was not expecting that, being that the restaurant was located near Penn. I always judge a restaurant by the cleanliness of the bathroom. A+ I can not wait to come back!
