Epazote Named South Florida's Favorite Mexican Restaurant 2026

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.

Whether you've joined us for Taco Tuesday, Sunday brunch, a family dinner, or your very first visit, you've played a part in helping Epazote become what it is today. Your trust and support have allowed us to grow, improve, and continue sharing authentic Mexican cuisine with our community.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon and continuing to serve the authentic Mexican food that earned us this incredible recognition.

¡Nos vemos pronto!
