This location is closed and your system needs to be updated. There is a cease and desist notice posted on the door and the property is being repossessed by the land lord. They have been closed since 5/19/2025 and from what the posting states they are being evicted.

We came into town for a concert at Wild Horse Pass and due to the concert there wasn’t anything available on-site without a long wait so we decided on Z Tejas as it was close by. Although the restaurant was not very busy, they only had one server for the entire restaurant (including the patio). It took more than 20 minutes to get our first drink, and after frustration we saw them made at the end of the bar, but not delivered due to a shortage of servers. The steak fajitas were very good, with plenty of meat, but the second order of drinks (even though the manager recognized the first order was slow and apologized) was just as slow, again a lack of servers issue. We haven’t been to Z Tejas in years due to a move, but they have certainly gone down hill at this location. It’s too bad. The food and their famous margaritas were good, but they need help on service.

Food was delicious. I was a little bummed they removed some items that I remembered ordering the past. However what we did order was good. Also, I could tell our server had too many tables so the time between visits was a little long especially towards the end (to get the bill).

The service started off well, but things took a strange turn at the end. The food, however, was solid and just what we expected. We had the steak fajitas, an appetizer, and a couple of margaritas—everything was tasty.
