Avneesh KohliOctober 22, 2017Get the chilaquiles for brunch. They’re tasty, and a great excuse for eating nachos in the morning.
Pictured: Flan with scoops of mango and coconut sorbet. Not on board with the flan as it's too thick and creamy.
- Eric TashJune 28, 2015Delicious Cuban-inspired diner. Highly recommend the empanadas to start and the yuca fries to share. Cubano sandwich is delectable too!
SimoJune 9, 2015The Huevos Rancheros tastes great. Two eggs on crispy tortilla! Friendly boss too! Coffee not bad at all!
Amanda GluckMarch 22, 2015Whatever you order will be fantastic, but the yuca fries and the huevos rancheros are fantastic.
Réjane TMarch 29, 2012All I remember is that the two dishes and plantains we had (along w/ a mango cake dessert) at 3 am were amazing. You may or may not be pleasantly surprised w/ a comp shot of Patron...
Sonny KwokOctober 12, 2015First off, 24 x 7, awesome, lomo saltado is great, ceviche and empanadas are all great!
- Bettina KMarch 18, 2017The BEST food I had in such a long time. Went there in the middle of the night after waking up jet lagged and hungry like a bear. Their food is a spa experience for your soul.
AnikaDecember 29, 2015**Go for the breakfast foods & the mac & cheese - very good.** (Don't go if you're trying to be healthy. Don't go for the salads & sandwiches. Desserts look better than they taste.)
Brunch 24/7. Starters, entrees, cocktails, desserts, staff, atmosphere, value = A+. Every time I'm here I order something different and it's always The Best Thing I Ever Had.
Cubano cubano cubano!! Literally the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. It got to the point where I didn't want to eat anymore of it because I knew if I did there wouldn't be any left. Eat slowly!
Lotus ToreeJanuary 18, 2016Delicious 24 hour latin diner! Do breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bluecorn pancakes, spicy margaritas and satisfying tacos. Nothing can do wrong here!- Elizabeth OtaolaSeptember 7, 2015Open 24 hours... That is what I learned when I showed up with my friends at 3am. Cuban sandwiches are heaven, ask for the hot sauce if you dare
Anna BlumeApril 3, 2018A Cuban diner with amazing food and service! The spinach salad with goat cheese is delish!
John OutwaterFebruary 1, 2015This place is so authentic and it doesn't even feel like they are trying. The service was awesome and the mac and cheese w/ chicharron was amazing.
Lance JordanAugust 6, 2012Oxtail empanadas are so yummy. Ask for the red hot sauce cause they need a little spice. The goat cheese salad is one of the best I've ever had! The Grand Palomo is super good too.
This 24-hour Cuban-inspired diner serves up the expected array of breakfast plates, as well as an excellent Cubano and Mac and Cheese with Chicharron.
First We FeastAugust 3, 2014The Frita Cubana Burger wins anytime of day, but the fact that you can get it at 5am is pretty awesome. Read more
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the Mac and Chicharrón, a double dose of pork with a silky mix of American and cheddar cheeses, spiked with spicy sambal. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more
Devin ParkerJuly 4, 2018The empanadas are really good. French toast comes as just a small order. You ain’t get full if you order that. The white sangria was tasty.
Fried anything is amazing here. Don't miss the calamari. Great drink list too.
Tyler CaineFebruary 1, 2015Let's talk burger. The shredded pork over a beef patty is intriguing, but the unseasoned meat and plain potato bun leave flavor falling short. The highlight was the smokey, spicy ketchup.
Lars PlougmannOctober 5, 2014If two or more people warn you about the habanero sauce, then be careful with the habanero sauce. It is a great habanero sauce, by the way.
Ms HeleneDecember 13, 2014Nachos-vertically stacked to maximize topping on crispy corn chips with cheese, beans, guacamole, beef chunks, queso & jalapeño $7. Avoid soggy yuca fries with oily dressing $5.
Pam De SilvaOctober 6, 2015Ask for their dessert menu and order a spiked milkshake! They're insanely delicious while disguising a decent amount of booze in them.
Clay FoxOctober 11, 2014You probably came for the cubano. Good call. It's fantastic. Don't leave without ordering the mac and chicharron though. It's amazing.- Udi RubinSeptember 6, 2014We had fantastic sangria, great corn and beef empanadas. For entree I recommend "ropa vieja". Lastly the olive oil cake was spectacular.
Bruce KahanerFebruary 8, 2014Sat at the counter on a busy Saturday. Ordered the fish tacos and lentil soup topped with crunchy bacon bits. Perfect quick, inexpensive meal.
Village VoiceJune 13, 2013Coppelia features once more on Village Voice with it's Havana Salad on our list of 100 Favorite Dishes. Two words come to mind when we think of this salad: light and rejuvenating.- Max WendkosApril 28, 2019Harold Moore, chef/owner of Bistro Pierre Lapin, recommends the Cubano sandwich.
Monti BrayAugust 24, 2014Don't even read past the breakfast options on the menu, you can't go wrong with midnight eggs and potatoes.
Get the enchilada suizas (one of the best in NYC). Their hot sauce is habanero; so be prepared to go all or nothing.
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!
Can't go wrong here. Personal faves: cocktail - matador (best spicy marg), ceviche - best I've ever had, Mac & chicharron - OMG.
- Village VoiceFebruary 7, 2014Village Voice is proud to welcome Coppelia to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV. The Havana Salad has made it on our top 100 Favorite Dishes list.
Alex GronbachMarch 29, 2019Friendly and helpful service, great food, and a comforting diner atmosphere
Kimmie OhhDecember 5, 2019Get their Mac & cheese with chicharron as a guilty pleasure then get the aguacate Caesar salad so you won’t feel so bad.
Elena V.July 9, 2011Love the refreshing passionfruit juice! Ropa Vieja tastes just like homemade & the desserts are great. The late night servers sometimes mix things up so just make sure they write everything down.
Jeremy JacobowitzOctober 11, 2014Had the Frits Cubans burger! Seriously good! Super juicy burger topped with roasted pork and chiccaron! Loved it!
HillelMarch 27, 2015Order the pernil or churasca. This place is legit. Chicharon for an appetizer with a drink is the way to go.
The weekday prix fixe lunch (Cubano w/ yucca fries) with sangria is a day-drinker's best friend. Praise.
Maria Emilia VargasJanuary 7, 2019Cheap. Fast. Delicious. Arepas are really good if you like them on the sweet side. Empanadas are on point!
The New York TimesNovember 29, 2011Recommended dishes: Eggs, guacamole, chicken wings, lomo saltado, ropa vieja, arroz con pollo, roast pork, chocolate cake with dulce de leche buttercream. Read more
Tyler MuseSeptember 21, 2014All kinds of Latin food. Try the arroz con pollo or the lomo saltado. Great cocktails too and open 24 / 7- Luna JayDecember 19, 2014Breakfast menus are great, especially the ones with Cuban toast! Very cute diner-esque vibe.. standard good Cuban place !
Amazing sweet potato fries! Go for the Pan con Lechon sandwich—garlicky mojo sauce spread, savory chicharron bits and pull pork amazingness.
Sarah T.May 30, 2015Get the Peruvian Lomo Saltado, and the chicken empanadas (beef was just eh...) Will be back for the Mac!- ChelseaAugust 11, 2014The Lomo Saltado + Mac and Chicharron will change your life. The flavors are out of this world!
