Copacabana Cuban Café | Our Story

The Story Behind the Café

Copacabana Cuban Café has been a Mount Dora fixture since 2009 — family-owned, community-loved, and cooking from the heart.
How We Started

How We Started

In 2009, one family brought authentic homestyle Cuban cooking to downtown Mount Dora — the kind of food that doesn't come from a franchise.
The Food We Make

The Food We Make

Bold seasoning, generous portions, made-from-scratch recipes — from Cuban sandwiches to grilled seafood with plantains.
The Patio We Built

The Patio We Built

Our covered patio is painted floor-to-ceiling with murals of vintage Havana — classic cars, tropical color, and a vibe you won't want to leave.
The Mojitos That Won

The Mojitos That Won

Voted best in town and available dine-in only — because a mojito this good deserves to be enjoyed right here.
Fifteen Years of Regulars

Fifteen Years of Regulars

A violinist at Friday dinner, a birthday in the corner, a couple ordering their usual — this is what fifteen years looks like.
