    Came for an early dinner, post Valentine’s Day. The food was delicious! Service was attentive and all the staff we encountered were very kind. My finance ordered the pork tenderloin which was delicious, however it seemed the portion was a bit small. My pork chop was delicious and portioned well. The valet parking is listed as $10 on here, however it is $20, which is a little deceiving. Overall we had a good experience and would come back!

    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!

    Beautiful place and just real good food. Nothing too fancy but still very nice…get a booth or sit outside for the gorgeous view. It was cold so we got one the fantastic big booths and sipped wine and ate so much, it was perfect. This place is going on the regular rotation.
