Had an amazing experience in Epazote Kitchen. Food was delicious, the staff were all extremely friendly and attentive, and ambiance was cozy and welcoming. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a nice quiet evening with great food.
The manager of the restaurant is just an absolute dream! He literally will go out of his way to make guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. To say he gives great customer service is an under statement. My hats off to him for making my daughter and my stay a five star experience! Thank you again.
Oh man!!! The beef short ribs on smashed fingerling potatoes and carrots was SOOO good!!!! Tasted like my mom's pot roast but expensive 😆 and the Earl Grey creme brulee with fresh berries was to die for!!!! I have no need to leave this resort for any reason while I'm in town! And the service is phenomenal!!!
We've eaten here twice in the last 3 weeks. Both times the food was tasty. My favorite dish is the vegetarian stuffed pepper while my husband prefers the strip steak. The first time we went the service was just so so. The second time, however, the service was to notch. When we left we spent some time in the lobby enjoying the piano playing.
Impressive little restaurant at the resort. Service was great - Isa took care of us! The food takes a little bit of time, so I recommend getting a starter or drinks. Otherwise, food and drink was excellent - definitely recommend!!
Did not realize this restaurant is in a hotel, but valet parking is free and the setting is spectacular in the evening. Had a wonderful server, amazing ceviche, and delicious marinated pork tacos.
This is great experience! We came on a weekend night and returned on Monday night both were sensational. The service helpful and quick. Sam the bartender was very attentive to our needs and was quick to get drinks in the middle of dinner rush. There should be no bad reviews to this restaurant. Check it out it is worth it. I had 3 different appetizers and 3 entrees and 2 desserts. All great.
The food was absolutely amazing and our server was wonderful both nights. The view of the surrounding grounds is wonderful. We especially loved the brisket, alfredo, tacos, and clams.
Came here just for coffees and dessert. It was night out and they had the heaters on outside with strings of lights hanging everywhere. Server was nice and desserts were delectable. They do have indoor dining available if you prefer. I would recommend to give this place a try.
While staying at the resort we had dinner here two nights in a row. Both nights our food was delicious and the service was great! The first night I had one of their summer salads with goat cheese and strawberries, and the second night I had the New York Steak cooked medium rare - they were delicious. We ordered the Gold Bar for dessert both nights - chocolate, peanut butter, gold leaf... so delicious. The restaurant overlooks the pool, grounds, and incredible mountains. Couldn't ask for a more beautiful location.
Epazote Review
Excellent restaurant with pleasant ambience. Exceeded our expections.
We are staying in the Hilton 4 star hotel in Oro Valley Arizona for our 50th wedding anniversary. We decided to try the hotel's Epazote Kitchen and cocktails despite seeing some sketchy recent reviews. Our experience was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Our server, Jasmine, was kind, patient, and attentive. The bartender, Sam, did an great job on our cocktails. Then, Jasmine and Sam worked together to get us tastings of three wines to help us decide on a bottle of wine. When I asked Sam about after dinner drink she offered a tasting of a her own special drambuie creation. It was spicy, delicious, and had a very nice bouquet. They provided Jalapeno corn muffins with herb infused butter to start. We then ordered two starter courses share: First the Elote en vaso and then the Epazote salad. These were served as courses with no rush as we requested. Both dishes were taste winners. My entree was the prescott raised strip steak, with goat cheese fondue sauce. This was thick cut and deliciously enhanced by the sauce, which offset my only criticism, that it was rare, but not blue-rare as requested.
My spouse enjoyed the generously large Ahi tuna poke bowl, she described as spicy, but not too hot with many good textures from the greens and rice. As we were finishing, I mentioned this was a great experience for our 50th wedding anniversary. Well, they immediately insisted on providing a complmentary dessert, which they decorated with an happy anniversary message.
Had the duck quesadilla, the EZ Burger, the Seared Salmon, and the calabacitas pasta. Very good service! Originally we tried sitting outside but moved in soon after. They brought blankets out to those who stayed! The food was really good!
The service started out with a bottle of wine gone bad and a server that was clueless. Then Joey came and corrected the wine with a new bottle and proper wine glasses. The food was very good and rest of the meal was enjoyable.
The Filet mignon was delicious. The Paella had a lot of delicious seafood in it. The hotel staff were super friendly. The cornbread appetizer was also wonderful. The setting and ambience is really nice too.
I cannot say enough great things about Epazote. The service was wonderful. Prompt, friendly and attentive. The food was even better. After two nights, we had the short rib, ceveiche tower, mussels, shishito peppers, chicken and waffle, ribs, lemon pepper mac and cheese. It was all absolutely delicious. This is the best restaurant in Tucson in my opinion. Highly recommend!
It's convenient if you're staying at the resort food's okay though I think there's enough restaurants around at would be better to go to.
