The food was the best Mexican food I have had at a restaurant! As soon as I got there I was greater very nicely and sat down with my group. Everyone was very friendly. But portions which is perfect because you can take some to go and eat it at your house. Everyone in my group said the food was delicious. The margaritas were also very very good, you can tell they take their time to make sure everyone gets what they ordered and that they enjoy it. I would definitely recommend other people coming here. 10/10??????????

First of all I hope Zacatecano makes a come back because this food used to be pretty good. We were the only two people eating food but thought maybe it was quiet due to late season. Overall service was great but food was not. Food came out really quick which makes me think everything was prepped and possibly old.

Service was fast; however, we were one of two diners in the restaurant. The food was not edible, and we are not picky eaters. We asked for our check after trying to eat as much as we could. Noticing that most of our food was still there, the server offered to give us a to-go box. We replied no and that was that. There was no inquiry into the enjoyment of our food. The high prices definitely did not reflect the poor quality of our food.

Absolutely fantastic service from a copper bar. Coming off the slopes in the morning, this would be the destination for a margarita and some food.

We were unimpressed with the quality of the food and the speed of service. The food was bland at best, the chips and salsa were not enjoyable and the corn tortillas on the shrimp tacos were so dry they fell apart when picked up. Would not/did not return during our stay at Copper.

Been here twice in 2 years Service... 5 stars; friendly and fast. This place is always busy but they keep up fine. Food... 4 stars; everything we've had was fresh and tasty. This place is definitely above average for a normal city and far above average for average for a touristy town. Mole sauce and green chili sauce are both very good. Carnitas is good (better than many I've had) but doesnt have a ton of flavor itself without the green chili Prices... the menus show lower prices than they charge you. And there is an unexpected resort fee. In all this adds ~20% to the bill. Portion Size... 4 stars; some dishes are definitely better portions than others

The food was good. Pricey, but you would expect that for Copper Mountain. The margarita got rave reviews at our table. I had a taco salad, and it was delicious. Someone else at the table got a veggie burrito, and I have to admit, I was jealous. It looked amazing and huge!2 things need work. First, you order using a QR code, but the cell service won't allow for the menu to load. Luckily, they have physical menus as a backup. Second, you can't split a check other than in half between 2 cards. That's not very helpful for a large group.

Great casual fare. Typical Mexican restaurant with huge margaritas. The mole was good. Service is always great. Gay friendly.

Excellent Mexican cuisine! We are Texans and know a little about this subject. The house salsa is amazing! We took some to go we liked it so much. Portions are generous and tasty. We loved our meal and highly recommend!

Easily the worst mexican food I've ever had. The salsa, cheese dip and Carne asada tacos were all horrible. Everything tasted microwaved. The steak was chewy. Avoid this spot at all costs.

Per their website menu, this restaurant does takeout food-except they don't! What Mexican restaurant does not provide take-out food orders? I guess the owners are too busy doing anything but running a restaurant....

The food there was cold and soggy. When I went inside to pickup my order they got almost all the food wrong. Finally this place looked so trashy and was right next to a run down place. So overall the ambiance food and service was below par at most and this place deserves a 1 star review.

Decent food for a ski resort but the service isn’t good even for a resort, and we were there on a pretty dead night. We had a party of 9 people, 6 were there and 3 were walking over. This was at 7:30 and the restaurant was 1/2 empty but they insisted on seating us a a four top and a 2 top (that weren’t even moved together).Be warned - they ask you if you want a large margarita as if it’s no big difference but it’s a freaking gallon of margarita so just know that you will probably want to spilt this $34 margarita between a few people. One person ordered it but 3 of us tried to finish it. We even asked for more than 1 straw but they never brought any more and it was just too much for us (and this group aren’t light weights!).None of this would have been that big of a deal but the staff was beyond NOT-friendly so I wouldn’t recommend this place.

Everything is very rich. We ordered some fajitas for two people and they completed very well. They sell Corona beer. We will surely return.
