Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Chips & Queso and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Great tacos & mexican option for the area. The Al Pastor Burrito was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Carnitas Bowl stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Copper Joint has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Carne Asada Tacos but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Mixed feelings. The Chips & Queso was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
