What Carol Macedo likes about Copal:

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. What Haley Reese doesn't like about Copal:
