Google says the leaves/flowers are edible and taste great as tea.

Make sure you know the botanical name of your plant so you can get the right information.

Mexican mint -- Plectranthus amboinicus -- is edible.

I would always get a second and third opinion when searching the interwebs. Not everything on the internet is true. 😉

Welcome to Greg Genny.
Yes Mexican mint or Cuban oregano is definitely edible. I have several plants. It's strong so use sparingly.
Happy growing 🍃🌱🌿💚
