Sazón's 2022 win leads the Delicious tier, with Jambo Cafe pairing a Michelin Bib Gourmand with a Semifinalist nod and Restaurant Martin running on a Finalist badge. Further down, two more winners sit at Worth Trying — The Compound's 2005 win and The Shed's 2003 win — alongside Coyote Cafe's 1996 win. Recognition isn't our rating; the badges run from Delicious down to On the Radar regardless of the trophy year. Check the tier, not just the medal.
