About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for scenic views
Great for outdoor dining

A new dining experience at the Hilton El Conquistador. Literally translated as "Mexican Tea", Epazote is prominently used in Southwest cuisine to add spicy yet earthy flavor somewhat reminiscent of fennel. Inspired by this flavor and the traditions of the Southwest.

Enjoy Southwestern dishes featuring locally sourced specialties such as Poblano Peppers for Rellenos, Arizona raised Free-Range Chicken, selected cheeses and Arizona grown produce. Along with your meal, you will enjoy some of the most spectacular views of Pusch Ridge, on the outdoor patio.

Featuring a wide selection of tequilas, locally brewed beers and Arizona Wines. Those looking to sample a taste of the Southwest will be able to select from a bar menu of delectable options ideal for a shared dinner or snack.

Dinner last night at Epazote was once again excellent. Sitting on their outdoor patio as sunset approaches just can’t be beat. I tried a prime rib dinner special and it was great. We deem ourselves lucky to live minutes away from this wonderful resort and restaurant!

Our server, Noelle, was great. Food was excellent. One suggestion - for those with specific diet requirements, it would be good to have an option of a simple grilled chicken dish.

Wonderful! I went here in a group of 4 friends to celebrate my birthday and we had the best time. Delicious food! (Our party included one vegan and two gluten free folks, and I love that Espazote has options for everyone, even a vegan dessert for the birthday girl!) Beautiful resort setting lends itself well to a special moment. The staff made the night really wonderful, they were so kind and made my birthday really extra special. Shout out to our server Oscar who was especially great and made our night at Espazote perfect. My husband and I are locals and we enjoy coming here for date night regularly as well.
