Stopped in before a show feeling a bit nostalgic for old south street days. What a disappointment! This is not the real Copa, not sure how they can get away with calling it that when the original Copa moved to University City. The bar was out of everything we asked for except their "award-winning" margaritas that were a swill poured from a plastic jug. True Copa margaritas are shaken with fresh lime. The food was barely edible and incomparable to the real Copa. The only way this place survives is it's location next to the TLA.

Arrived on Sunday 2/25 around 6:30pm to a basically empty restaurant (only two other tables were seated) it took roughly 20 mins to finally get a server to the table. The server approaches tables and says what did you want, (ive never been asked this when waiting to place order for food), food came out roughly 15 mins later, burger tasted odd, the wings were okay and the fries were okay. The most interesting part of my visit was the manager/owner making weird a$$ sounds and yelling at someone and cursing them out on his phone in the middle of the sales floor. Cooas has officially became a joke, they shouldve closed the old spot and let the Upenn stay open because this location wont last very long.

Copabanana has moved down one door and is reopened. The Margarita's are the best here! Stop in and enjoy.

I ordered a acai bowl from this place via Doordarsh. This was by far the worst acai bowl I have ever tasted. It was not fresh. The acai must have sat in the freezer for days. The pineapple was from a can. The "mango" was peaches from a cocktail fruit cup. The shredded coconut was tan and packaged. The "granola" was quaker oats. Please if you are craving an acai bowl DO NOT GET IT FROM HERE!!! A refund would be nice. $40 down the drain!

Comfortable place for an adult beverage and a quick bite. Big drinks menu and the food was delicious. My wife loved the burger and margarita. The chili was superb (asked about one of their secret ingredients and I'll be sure to try it out at home).

Menu is super light and doesn't match the website. The cheesesteak was not it

Love their Buffalo hot wings & their signature drink "The Hurricane ". Fun place to party. Didn't have the same vibe as in the past. The bartenders were helpful and let us know ahead of time that it was cash only. Foods and drinks were good, but the atmosphere was a little flat.

Stay away from this place! Food is subpar, service is slow and unfriendly, when asked to break a 20, bartender said sorry we don’t have change for that…. Not sure how this establishment is still open. There are plenty of better restaurants to choose from on South Street. This place is not one of them…
I usually have an amazing experience at Copabanana but tonight was unexpectedly bad. I think there was some situation going on that affected the staff and ultimately our experience. It took at least 10 minutes for someone to come up to me and ask for my I.D so we can be seated. Then we were seated and sat for 30 minutes with no service at all. Before we hit the 30 minute mark, we asked the waitresses “who would be taking care of us” and their response was “we can check for you” and nobody came. We ended just leaving and going somewhere else to eat. We will be taking a break from here for a while.

This place is beyond filthy and should be shut down! I'm guessing there's not been a real inspection of this place since the pandemic. It place has taken a major dive. The smell alone forced me and my family to turn around. I didn't even want to attempt to sit outside after smelling how bad the inside was. Horrible just horrible.

No signage informing me that services were Cash Only. Always nice to have the choice. Food was good. Not the same Copa!8
Service was pretty spotty and food was not worth the

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!The waitresses were high out of their minds. Asked one waitress where our drinks were after 15 mins and she just responded that she wasn't our waitress. Our waitress messed up our order. Brought the wrong stuff out numerous times. The wiz is not wiz, its queso.
