I love your outdoor space and look forward to taking advantage of patio when the weather is nice. I always bring my dog and your staff is always accommodating and sweet to him. My only recommendation is to expand your white/rose wines by the glass options.

Service was extremely slow. It took forever to get to our drink orders and refills. One of our entrées didn’t come until everybody else was almost done with their entrees.

We had a great dining experience at Z' Tejas. The food quality was excellent, with every dish prepared perfectly and full of flavor. The ingredients were fresh, and the presentation was well done. Definitely a spot for food lovers! I recommend the Z'Queso and Salsa Trio for appetizers, then go with the Navajo Taco or Diablow Chicken for main course. The restaurant has an open floor plan, which gives it more of a diner-style feel rather than an intimate restaurant setting. While this might not be ideal for a quiet, romantic evening, it fits the hip and energetic vibe of the location. It’s a great place to soak in the trendy atmosphere of the area. Overall, if you’re looking for great food in a lively, modern setting, this place is worth checking out. Would definitely return for the food alone!

We have been going to Z Tejas for many years. Even on Valentines last night as busy as they were, the staff and management were really on top of things making sure each and every customer was treated with the best service possible. Not to mention the food is always so good. I had the ribeye last night which I have never had before and it was so tender. It’s great place to have a date with your wife, friend or family.
