- Cuban sándwich delicious comes with fries and it is huge. Chicken a la parrilla yummy too. The special Cuban mojito you cannot miss. Owner Don Alberto great guy!
Emily CSeptember 5, 2017The stuffed peppers without cheese are my favorite dish here. Husband likes the ropa veja tamales. The mojitos are yummy and the service is always good.
Ernesto CastroJuly 13, 2013Alberto and his family make you feel like if you're part of their family. The food here is amazing. Check this place out if you want to try Real Cuban food.
Lisa SosaJuly 30, 2017The tamales are huge (pic- ropa vieja tamale). Loved the picadillo. Huge portions.
Emily WhiteJanuary 28, 2015The pernil is amazing!!! Great cuban sandwich. Try the house chimichurri sauce as a salad dressing....yum, in fact, try it on everything! :)
Popsicle OwensJanuary 5, 2016Love this place, except its too dark inside. Need to brighten up just a bit. Great Food, Love the staff...made me feel like I was a long time friend.
Excellent place for cigar lovers, as this I'd one of the few eateries where our is permissible. Out on deck of course. As per owner Don Alberto !
Suze ShafferMarch 13, 2017This place has authentic Cuban food. I have not tried anything that was not fabulous! I highly recommend this place!
Harry HackneyFebruary 16, 2015The zarzuela de mariscos is very tasty BUT very messy. The shrimp is served tails on and the lobster is in a sauce covered split shell. The sauce gets everywhere! Sadly, I won't order it again.
Elaine JohnsonJuly 19, 2011Pescado de salsa- yummy, yummy! Fish cooked to perfection, sauce light, an excellent compliment to the fish without overpowering the delicate flavor Read more- If you want great food your gonna have to wait. I don't mind waiting for excellent food ! This place is awesome ! Cigar friendly !
- One of the best Cuban restaurants in Central Florida. Try the grouper, excellent.
- Tracey MeadowsJanuary 15, 2012Pan con Bistec & Media Noche sandwiches are amazing. Excellent snapper and the bread is fantastic.
Christina S.February 5, 2012Everything is amazing!! This is as close to my abuellas cooking as I've ever had in dining out!!
Tommy ⚡ RaptorFebruary 12, 2012Cuban sandwich is one of the best I've had outside of Tampa in a long time! A++
Carlos BelloDecember 30, 2012the pan con bistec looked like an anorexic & depressed Philly Cheese steak. the only thing that Copacabana has going for itself is good bread and cold water. sadly, not authentic Cuban cuisine.
- Carlos BelloDecember 30, 2012at least the decor and salsa music playing in the background was decent. funny thing, NONE of the servers were even Cuban. and if any of you are, don't bother asking for Materva... unrecognized.
The food is good, but they take FOREVER! And we had to flag down a waitress and ask for refills. Annoying.
- Carlos BelloDecember 30, 2012there were these disgusting items on the menu that were supposed to be "tamales" but it was shredded beef with corn. where in Cuba will you find a cow?? I thought so. nasty ground beef.
- Carlos BelloDecember 30, 2012coming from a REAL Cuban, Copacabana is not by ANY MEANS "authentic Cuban cuisine." food was horrible. the "moros" were actually a rice & beans "calentado."
Berk BaycanDecember 6, 2021The food is good but the place looks to be so overwhelmed that service is very poor.
Bobby ZuclichOctober 3, 2012Service was very slow and our waiter forgot a lot of stuff! Food was ok!! Over all, not too impressed.
