Copita Tequileria y Comida is a vibrant modern Mexican spot where fresh, seasonal dishes and creative tequila cocktails come together in a cozy atmosphere.
"Copita co-owner Joanne Weir wrote the book (literally) on tequila, so it’s easy to understand why this petite restaurant stocks such a vast array of agave spirits. Go for chips and salsa to start, fried pork belly tacos served on house-made corn tortillas, and wood-roasted chicken served at an outdoor table in the sun. A house margarita is a must." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"It’s the annual 12 Days of Tamales at Copita from December 12th through December 23. Head over the bridge for chicken and salsa verde tamales with cream, queso fresco, and cilantro or cochinita pibil tamales; each day is different so check ahead. The menu is available at lunch and dinner: buy one tamale for $8, or get a to-go order of 12 for $72 to feed the whole crew. Reservations are available online here." - Ellen Fort
"Chef Joanne Weir’s Mexican restaurant is beloved for the masa tortillas that provide a freshly made underpinning to most dishes. But it’s the extensive 100 percent blue agave tequila list that draws in a curious crowd. Taste a flight of your choice at the bar — it’s especially cozy by the blue and white tile-framed rotisserie towards the back — or stick with a flight of Joanne’s favorites, recommended with an oyster taco or a huitlacoche empanada." - Christina Mueller
"You might think a tapas spot like Copita is best at night when you can let loose with a bottle of wine, a number of glasses of beer, or some sherry. You'd be right. But, stop being so unimaginative, it's great for lunch too. This place has a massive range of well made tapas, it’s all quite reasonably priced, and, regardless of whether you’re stopping in for just a couple of plates, or you plan to stay all day, its tiled interior and big wooden high-top tables, will make you feel like you’re a million miles away from the madness of Soho ." - Oliver Feldman
"Ring in the new year in Sausalito with Copita’s usual menu plus specials like spit-roasted leg of lamb, lobster tacos, and poblano crab soup. All guests will get a sparkling wine-based welcome cocktail, too. Hours are. 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m." - Janelle Bitker
