The restaurant, founded by Larry Mindel and the James Beard Award-winning cookbook author and chef Joanne Weir, has already made a name for itself in the Bay Area for its gluten-free food options and expansive selection of tequila and mezcal. The Copita menu offers small plates like habanero wings, queso fundido, Mexican truffle empanadas, a selection of tacos served on corn tortillas “made by hand in-house,” ceviche options, and big plates — including chicken enchiladas in manchamantel mole, 24-hour carnitas, and quesabirria.

In addition to its spot in Sausalito, this will mark Copita’s second brick-and-mortar. What Now San Francisco was unable to contact a restaurant representative before the time of publication, but stay tuned to the eatery’s Instagram page for details about its upcoming opening.
