Copal
Copal is an Oaxacan restaurant and mezcal bar known for authentic dishes like their mole negro made with fried tempeh, chickpeas, and roasted chayote. The venue features both indoor and outdoor seating, including a sheltered patio with colorful tables, and offers a relaxed atmosphere with plants throughout. While the restaurant is considered upscale with a parking lot, some find the mole priced on the higher side at around $21-$23 per dish.
