My husband and I had almost given up on the idea of ever finding a decent Mexican restaurant in Fort Lauderdale serving real street tacos, tostadas, and shrimp cocktail UNTIL we found Epazote.
We went on a Taco Tuesday evening and, luckily, snagged seats right away. Not long after, the restaurant filled up, showing just how popular this spot is. There's both indoor seating and a handful of outdoor tables. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming.
Our waiter greeted us warmly and quickly took our drink orders. For food, I tried a chicken taco and a tostada, while my husband ordered carnitas tacos. The chicken taco, topped simply with cilantro and onions, was flavorful and moist--not dry or bland like we've had elsewhere. My husband was thrilled with his carnitas tacos and is already planning to come back to try one of their tortas.
We also shared guacamole, which was fresh and tasty, though it would have been even better with warm chips. The staff was attentive throughout the evening, checking in, refilling our water, and even offering spicier salsas to kick things up a notch.
Bottom line: Epazote is the hidden gem we were hoping to find. Delicious tacos, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere--it made for a perfect Taco Tuesday. We'll definitely be back!
