Austin Favorite – Z Tejas is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The food is a combination of Tex-Mex, Southwestern, something or another but what it comes down to is that it's consistently good. They have the best salads (I love the ruby trout salad and the pecan crusted chicken salad) but they also have a variety of delcious fish dishes. If you are looking for something on the lighter side, sometimes I'll order the Ahi Tuna appetizer and a side salad. The wait can get long sometime so be prepared. There are two bars ... read more

Unique restaurant – I was staying downtown and someone suggested Z'Tejas. I can be a picky eater, but I found a few things I would have liked. I chose the Red Chile and Mango Steak Salad and it was delicious. It had some kick to it, but I LOVED it.

Delicious food! – I would recommend anyone to stop in and eat at Z?Tejas. I love, love the Chile relleno! It is absolutely amazing!! It is so flavorful and unique. Their food is so fresh and delicious I can?t think of anything bad I have ever had there. I recently tried the pecan crusted chicken salad and I was impressed. I have found that all of their salads are extremely delicious. Of course, you must try their famous margaritas too! They are the best tasting margaritas I have ever had! I have never had a bad experience at... read more

Terrible service! – I ate at Z Tejas last Saturday. It was a friends birthday. We were having a bite to eat before going out for drinks. The waitress, Jess, was very rude. She even "shh" and pointed her finger at the birthday girl. She ignored requests and was overall a terrible waitress. Our appetizers arrived with our food. That was the 2nd problem. Not only that, but I never got my food. Everyone else got theirs and I was so embarrassed. I reminded Jess again and it appeared to me that she forgot. She blamed the kitchen a... read more

Great Food, Acceptable Ambiance – I'm not sure what some of these other reviewers are talking about, I think Z Tejas has some of the best food I have ever tasted and I am very particular. I have never had a dish there that I did not like. My only complaints are that there is always a very very long wait and though the restaurant is in two old houses (which is cute), the ambiance is lacking. The bar area is nice but it's hard to get a seat there and the main seating area in the restaurant is kind of bland and generic restaura... read more

Note to Mr. Foles – This location is struggling and the word on the street is decidedly negative. On my last visit, I hate to say, your staff was rude and unprofessional. It appears that you have in your employ immature children as employees. The food-this is a Taco Bell facsimile. Low end menu, mediocre quality and cold food. When you serve your meals on plates from the school cafeteria it leaves patrons with the impression of a paper plate and plastic fork experience. I spoke with others waiting to be seated and no one cou... read more

Eclectic Tex-Mex and extraordinary taste keep the locals coming to this popular Sixth Street staple. – In Short The menu is spicy Southwestern, but you'll find creatively prepared pasta dishes and traditional salads alongside unique items like the Navajo taco: A crisp, flat tortilla piled high with fried spinach, black beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, zucchini and sour cream. The fish tacos arrive as soft tortilla rolls artfully spread out on the plate. For a warm treat, check out the thick, creamy poblano corn soup with an i... read more

A good time! – Z'Tejas is lots of fun! Even though the restaurant was busy, we were seated quickly and our drink orders were taken. The menu isn't extensive and there aren't any vegetarian options but selections can be made without meat. I had the Jrk Chicken Salad (sans chicken) and it was FABULOUS! The restaurant is rather spacious so things tend to get loud; it has a bit of a barn feel to it with lots of different rooms. There's also outside dining options and a bar.
