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!

The 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 Castro

Alberto 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 Sosa

The tamales are huge (pic- ropa vieja tamale ). Loved the picadillo . Huge portions .

Love 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.

The pernil is amazing!!! Great cuban sandwich . Try the house chimichurri sauce as a salad dressing ....yum, in fact, try it on everything! :)

Latino Cigar Life 👍👍

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 Shaffer

This place has authentic Cuban food . I have not tried anything that was not fabulous! I highly recommend this place!

Harry Hackney

The 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 Johnson

Pescado de salsa - yummy, yummy! Fish cooked to perfection, sauce light, an excellent compliment to the fish without overpowering the delicate flavor Read more

Lisa Kendall

Great food & friendly service , but don't go if you're in a hurry.

Barton Morrison

The best Cuban sandwich I have ever had.

Carlos Bello

the 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 .

Jennifer Lee

Empanadas . Cuban coffee . Consistently good food. I love this place.

Randall

The pernil pork dish was delicious.

Carlos Bello

at 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.

Cheri Gaetz

Churrasco and chimichurri sauce ,,, amazing!!!!!!

Albert

The best Cuban restaurant in Central Florida .

danyia marie

Best Cubans EVAHH✨❤️

Lisa Gates

Mojitos & empanadas ! Ugliness!!

Lisa Renee

The food is good, but they take FOREVER! And we had to flag down a waitress and ask for refills. Annoying.

James Hunt

Try anything with pork !

Carlos Bello

there 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 Bello

coming from a REAL Cuban , Copacabana is not by ANY MEANS "authentic Cuban cuisine ." food was horrible. the "moros" were actually a rice & beans "calentado."

John Soderlund

The fried yuca is the best in all Central Florida..

Berk Baycan

The food is good but the place looks to be so overwhelmed that service is very poor.

Bobby Zuclich

Service was very slow and our waiter forgot a lot of stuff! Food was ok!! Over all, not too impressed.

James Russell

Service is very slow. Come prepared to relax some time away.

Seiche Sanders

Holy slow service. Ugh!!!

Joao Pereira
