Thank You, South Florida!
We are incredibly honored to announce that Epazote Mexican Restaurant has been voted South Florida's Favorite Mexican Restaurant 2026 by the Sun Sentinel.
This recognition means more to us than words can express because it comes from the community we proudly serve every day. Since opening our doors, our mission has been simple: to bring the authentic flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Mexico to South Florida. Being recognized as the region's favorite is a milestone that reminds us why we do what we do.
A Recognition That Belongs to Our Community
This award isn't just ours—it's shared with every guest who has dined with us, celebrated milestones in our restaurant, recommended us to family and friends, or supported our journey from the very beginning.

Our Core Values
Everything we do is guided by three core values that define the Epazote experience.
Authenticity
Authenticity is at the heart of every dish we serve. Chef Hugo prepares recipes inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Mexico using genuine techniques, fresh ingredients, and flavors that transport our guests to the heart of Mexico.
Quality
From the ingredients we source to the care we put into every plate, quality is never compromised. We believe every meal should be memorable, and we strive to deliver excellence in every bite, every drink, and every guest experience.
Community
Epazote is more than a restaurant—it's a gathering place. We believe in treating every guest like family while giving back to the community that has embraced us. Whether through local partnerships, charitable events, or simply creating a welcoming atmosphere, community is at the center of who we are.
This Is Just the Beginning
Winning South Florida's Favorite Mexican Restaurant 2026 inspires us to continue raising the bar. Every day, we'll keep working to exceed expectations, create unforgettable dining experiences, and honor the traditions of authentic Mexican cuisine.
To everyone who voted for us, dined with us, shared a meal with loved ones, or recommended Epazote to someone else—
Thank you.

A Meal That Matters: The Beginning of a New Annual Tradition at Epazote
Epazote proudly launched A Meal That Matters, our new annual fundraising event dedicated to bringing the community together through exceptional food and meaningful giving. Learn how our inaugural event raised funds, collected donations, and marked the beginning of a tradition rooted in one of Epazote's core values: giving back.
At Epazote Mexican Restaurant, we've always believed that a restaurant should be more than just a place to enjoy great food, it should be a place where community comes together.
That belief inspired us to create A Meal That Matters, a new annual fundraising dinner dedicated to giving back to organizations making a meaningful impact in South Florida.
We're proud to share that our very first event was a tremendous success.
A Night of Purpose
This year's A Meal That Matters benefited Voices for Children of Broward County, an incredible organization that supports children in foster care by providing advocacy, resources, and opportunities that help change lives.
For one special evening, Chef Hugo created an exclusive Italian-Mexican fusion menu designed specifically for the event. Friends, families, and neighbors gathered around our tables knowing that every meal served would help support a greater cause.
It was a powerful reminder that food has an incredible way of bringing people together—not just to celebrate, but to create positive change.
Together, We Made a Difference
Thanks to the generosity of our guests and community, we were able to donate $500 from the evening's proceeds to Voices for Children of Broward County, along with a truck full of donated items for children in foster care.
Every reservation, every donation, and every person who attended helped make this evening a success.
To everyone who joined us, thank you for believing in our mission and proving that when a community comes together, even one evening can make a lasting impact.
Giving Back Is One of Epazote's Core Values
From the day Epazote opened its doors, our mission has gone beyond serving authentic Mexican cuisine.
We believe businesses have a responsibility to give back to the communities that support them. That's why community involvement isn't simply something we do—it's one of our core values.
Whether it's supporting local organizations, creating meaningful events, or using our restaurant as a place where people can connect for a greater purpose, we're committed to making a positive difference both inside and outside our dining room.
The First of Many
This was the very first A Meal That Matters, but it certainly won't be the last.
We're excited to announce that this will become an annual Epazote tradition, with each year's event benefiting a different local nonprofit organization that is making a meaningful impact in our community.
Our hope is that every year, our guests will have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable dining experience while knowing they're helping make South Florida a better place.
Together, one meal at a time, we can create something bigger than ourselves.
Thank You
To our guests, our team, Chef Hugo, and everyone who supported this event— from our family to yours, thank you.
Your generosity, kindness, and belief in our vision made the inaugural A Meal That Matters everything we hoped it would be.
This is only the beginning, and we can't wait to continue this tradition with you for many years to come.
Because at Epazote, every meal has the power to bring people together but the meals we'll always remember are the ones that make a difference.
