What Carol Macedo likes about Copal:
My friend and I just tried Copal for the first time. I have Celiac's Disease and Copal has numerous choices! The food and drinks were superb!I had the Quesadilla Mercado with steak. It was huge! It came with delicious black beans, a dollop of guac, and a small side of a spicy red sauce(not mole). My friend had chicken enchiladas with the red coloaradito mole. They came with rice. We shared chips, salsa, and guacamole... View all feedback.

Fantastic Oaxacan food. Probably the best Mexican meal I've had in the greater Bay Area in years.
